A funnel is disclosed having an oil bottle securing portion and an adjustable conduit portion. The oil bottle securing portion is an open housing with converging side walls, and an end wall including a bottle securing rectangular groove along an upper edge. Seated within the open housing is a U-shaped stop that receives and abuts the top of a standard oil bottle, such that the neck of the oil bottle passes through the U-shaped stop but the shoulder of the bottle abuts the U-shaped stop. With a lower portion of the oil bottle disposed within the rectangular groove of the end wall and the neck of the oil bottle passing through the U-shaped stop, the oil from the bottle will empty into a frusto-conical reservoir at a first end of the funnel on the opposite side of the U-shaped stop and pass through the adjustable conduit.

A torch refilling assembly includes a funnel for receiving a liquid fuel. A spout is fluidly coupled to the funnel and the spout is positioned in an opening of a fuel canister of a torch to direct the liquid fuel into the fuel canister of the torch. A rest is coupled to and extends laterally away from the funnel for engage a lid of the fuel canister for storage when the fuel canister is filled with the liquid fuel. A valve is movably coupled between the funnel and the spout. The valve is selectively positioned in a closed position to inhibit the liquid fuel from flowing out of the funnel. The valve is selectively positioned in an open position to pass the liquid fuel therethrough thereby facilitating the fuel canister to be filled with the liquid fuel.

A measuring device is disclosed that increases the precision of the amount of liquid, reduces spillage waste, increases speed in creating the beverage and increases productivity. The measuring device may include a vessel body, a ball, a lever, a spring, a base and a trigger. In operation, the liquid is poured into the vessel body until its level visually matches a gradation line equal to the desired volume. The user then squeezes the standard trigger by hand to release the liquid out the bottom of the vessel body. A second trigger may be pressed against a drinking glass or pitcher to release the liquid out the bottom of the vessel body and into the drinking glass or pitcher.

The invention relates to elastomer sandwich systems containing at least two components, wherein one component is (i) a thermoplastic polyurethane functioning as a cover layer and, adhering thereto over its area, the second component is (ii) a noncellular cast polyurethane having a density of from 800 to 1800 kg/m.sup.3 functioning as a carrier layer, wherein at least one component of the elastomer sandwich system has a tear propagation resistance in accordance with ISO 34-1 of from 30 kN/m to 85 kN/m and an abrasion loss in accordance with ISO 4649 of from 50 mm.sup.3 to 5 mm.sup.3 and in addition at least the two components have a rebound resilience in accordance with DIN 53512 of 35%-70%, and a process for the production thereof. The invention further relates to metal composite elements containing elastomer sandwich systems, a process for the production thereof and the use thereof as lining elements in the transport sector and mining and mine sector, in particular in hoppers and conveyor belts. Elastomer sandwich systems can also be used as protection for loading floors of trucks.

A lidded funnel device provides a funnel having an enclosable interior space. The device includes a funnel having a stem section extending from a mouth section. An upper edge of the mouth section defines a broad opening into the funnel. The stem section has a polygonal exterior surface. An end cap is engageable to the stem section to cover and seal an open end of the stem section. Each of a plurality of pins is coupled to the mouth section. Each of a plurality of clips extends from a lid. The clips are removably engageable to the pins wherein the lid is pivotally coupled to the funnel. The lid is shaped complementary to the upper edge of the mouth section to cover the broad opening into the funnel when the lid is in a closed position.
