A low-profile fluid transfer device has an annular base with a top and a bottom, and an annular peripheral wall defining an enclosed interior of the base. A plurality of spaced apart straight ridges are formed within the enclosed interior of the base and define respective flow channels. Each flow channel slopes downward from a first end proximate an inside of the annular peripheral wall towards an open second end away from the annular peripheral wall. A catchment area is located adjacent the open second end of each of the flow channels. A drain hole is formed within the catchment area and extends through the base from the top to the bottom.

A shower water collection device configured to capture pre-shower water which once full may easily be sealed to prevent contamination of the collected water until the water can be used for another purpose. A shower water collection device further including an inverted umbrella type funnel for increased surface area and enhanced water collection.

A bucket funnel has a funnel body which clips onto a bucket with a top flange. The funnel body has a semicircular lower edge which has about the same radius of curvature as the bucket, but only extends about halfway around. There are outer tabs with inward facing channels at the ends of the lower edge of the funnel body to clip into the flange of the bucket. There is also a spring loaded release clip at about the middle of the lower edge to clip onto the outer flange of the bucket. An inner apron extends down from the lower edge of the funnel body to form a seal against the inner wall of the bucket. An interchangeable conical nozzle attaches to the funnel body for dispensing of fluids of various viscosities, such as glue, paint or fresh concrete.

Disclosed is a mating structure of a liquid extraction piece and a test tube assembly, which comprises the liquid extraction piece (1) and the test tube assembly (4). A test tube plug (2) is arranged at an opening end (32) of a test tube (3). The lower portion of the liquid extraction piece (1) is mated with the test tube assembly (4). The body of the test tube plug (2) is provided with a blocking body (25). The blocking body (25) is provided with a movable portion (253) and a fixed portion (252). The movable portion (253) can move with respect to the fixed portion (252). An axial recess is arranged above an upper surface (251) of the movable portion (253). The lower portion of the liquid extraction piece (1) is mated with the recess. The blocking body (25) is located in a lumen (31) of the test tube (3).

A refuelling stand that is lightweight and easily portable which includes A refuelling stand for conveying fuel from a fuel source into a fuel receptacle comprising: a funnel which is optionally collapsible; a conduit having a first end for removable attachment to the funnel, and a second end for engagement with the fuel receptacle; and three or more support legs, wherein each of the support legs is independently movable from a first use mode to a second storage mode. The conduit can be made of flexible material which may be rolled up for storage alongside the support or may be formed of inflexible tubing. The refuelling stand may optionally include at least one stabilizing element.

A single-use, biodegradable, paper urine collector and method of using same, the urine collector including a funnel body having a sloped continuous sidewall, a sloped base, a top opening, a funnel hole located at the lowest region of the sloped base and, optionally, a urine sample container operatively coupled to the sloped base. To convey funneled urine into the container, a top edge of the container is positioned within the funnel hole and the base of the container is positioned outside the funnel body. The funnel body is configured to funnel a stream of urine through the top opening and along an interior surface of the funnel body toward and through the funnel hole.

A gathering and dispensing scoop with agitating gate valve provides a scoop body defining an upper opening, a bottom opening, and a channel extending therebetween. A handle extends radially from an outer peripheral surface of the scoop body. A gate valve transects the channel and has a user operable finger tab adjacent to the handle for a user to move the gate valve from a first position transecting the channel and obstructing the bottom opening to a second position wherein the gate valve no longer obstructs the channel and opens the bottom opening.

The invention is an articulated funnel holder and a method, the articulated funnel holder comprising a magnetic tray supporting a J-shaped support arm that attaches at one end to the magnetic tray and at another end to a pivoting device, the pivoting device further connects to one mast end of telescopic mast to move the telescopic mast between raised and lowered positions relative to the magnetic tray, a remaining mast end removably supports a funnel ring that removably receives and supports a funnel, wherein the articulated funnel holder moves between an open operative position and compact storage position; wherein articulated funnel holder in the compact storage position places the telescopic mast and the one or more funnel rings within a storage area as defined by edges of the magnetic tray.
