A filling apparatus includes an upper hollow body having a top opening and a bottom opening; a first annular cylinder coupled to the upper hollow body via the bottom opening; a locking ring having a first keg lock slot and a second keg lock slot and coupled to the first annular cylinder; a second annular cylinder coupled to the first annular cylinder; a body seal ring coupled to the second circular cylinder; a bottom hollow cylinder coupled to the second annular cylinder and including a first vent opening probe, a second vent opening probe, and a probe divide wall. The filling apparatus can be connected to a valve on a keg, such as a Sankay-D valve, and can be used to pour alcohol and other liquids into the keg.

A funnel has upper and lower ends adapted to be inserted into bottles or containers to stack a first container above a second container to allow liquid to drain from the inverted first container into the upright second container. The upper end of the funnel includes resilient posts, with a spacer extending therebetween to provide a stable fit of the upper end into the first container. The tops of the posts include enlarged caps to preclude the spacer from sliding off the posts and possibly becoming lost.

An improved funnel includes an inner liner formed from a hydrophobic material, wherein oil from an automobile can contact and pass through said funnel without leaving any oil residue upon said inner liner, such that the funnel can be used for a different type of liquid immediately thereafter without cleaning. The improved funnel may also include a tool cut-out formed through its top rim and a portion of its side wall to allow an oil bolt or oil filter wrench to pass therethrough and be used when the improved funnel is placed adjacent to an automobile oil discharge aperture. The improved funnel may also include magnets to releasably hold the improved funnel to the automobile when in use.

A versatile funnel is adapted to have many uses and be easily storable. In an embodiment, the versatile funnel is adapted to be collapsible. In an embodiment, the versatile funnel is adapted to be magnetically secured to locations, such as the hood of a vehicle, a cabinet, or an appliance.

An evacuated bottle system including a bottle defining a hollow interior, the bottle having a neck with a rim defining an opening; a cap assembly supported on the bottle, the cap assembly including a funnel having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being insertable within the interior of the bottle and the second portion engaging a portion of the bottle to support the funnel above the rim, the funnel defining a bore that fluidly communicates with the hollow interior of the bottle; a self-sealing membrane that covers the bore formed by the funnel to selectively seal the hollow interior of the bottle; a cap attachable to the bottle, the cap including a cover portion that extends at least partially over the self-sealing membrane to restrain movement thereof, the cover portion being axially spaced from the self-sealing membrane to define a gap that permits axial movement of the self-sealing membrane to selectively open the bottle to fluid communication outside of the bottle.

A container that includes a container body adapted for containing a flowable material for storage and dispensing through a dispensing opening in the container body. A funnel is positioned in a stowage location in the container body and is adapted to be removed from the stowage location and moved to a flowable material-receiving location physically-separate from and proximate to the dispensing opening in the container body. A wiping sheet is positioned with the funnel in the stowage location and adapted to be removed from the stowage location and used to wipe and absorb the flowable material.
