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 fuel tank assembly comprise may comprise a tank, a pump, a hose, and a hose hanger. The tank defines an interior volume for holding fluid. The pump is in communication with the interior volume of the tank and includes an output nozzle. The hose is coupled to the output nozzle and is operable to receive fluid transmitted by the pump. The hose hanger is operatively coupled to the tank and configured to retain the hose. The fuel tank assembly may also include a dispensing apparatus on a distal end of the hose for discharging fluid received from the pump.

This vented spout relates to a detachable pouring spouts that can be used to transfer liquid contents from a filling container to a receiving container. More particularly, the present invention relates to a detachable self-venting, non-spilling pouring spout. This vented spout has a side air channel or air channels including one way valves that prevent liquid back out from the air channel and also does not reduce the pouring orifice cross section which would result in accelerating the flow rate of substance. The vented spout has a thread shape portion which will create spinning flow and enhancing flow rate as well. It's also flexible so that the spout can be bend to different directions which helps reduces storage space due to the bending.

The spout includes a first and a second member. The first member includes an elongated and generally tubular first main body having two segregated and parallel internal passageways, one being an air duct and the other being a liquid duct. Both ducts are substantially straight and substantially unobstructed along the entire first main body but the air duct ends with at least one constricted opening through which the air circuit exits the air duct. A valve is juxtaposed to the rear end of the first main body and is made integral therewith. The valve engages a valve seat provided at the rear end of a tubular inner conduit inside the second member and in which a rear section of the first main body is slidingly axially movable. The valve is normally maintained closed by a biasing element. The spout may be provided with a child resistant closure (CRC) device.

The invention relates to an adapter and to a filling method giving the possibility of flexibility in the transfer of fluids from a filling cell to a fluidic circuit, depending on the different filling levels required on a production line, notably finding application for the transfer of fluids such as coolant fluid, brake fluid, air-conditioning fluid, to the corresponding fluidic circuit of a vehicle, for example on an automotive assembly line, or further in the energy sector for filling electric radiators with a fluid. The adapter comprises a conduit 4 connected to the filling cell 16 for sucking up filling fluid 5 contained in, and filling with the filling fluid 5, the fluidic circuit 2, and a plunger tube 6, secured to a piston 7 axially adjustable on an axis Y in a first guiding tube 9, having first and second ends 14, and connected through the first end to the conduit. The piston forms with the first guiding tube a first chamber able to receive a movement transmission liquid 3 through a hydraulic transfer line 10 in order to allow, by injection or by suction of the movement transmission liquid into, or from the first chamber, the movement of the plunger tube, via the piston, into a first or a second direction, along the axis Y, for plunging into or moving upwards the fluidic circuit.

A container end piece has: an inlet; an outlet; a closure device that is movable between a closed position and an open position; and a connection device for connecting the container end piece on to the tank end piece. The connecting device has: a clamping device that is movable between a spaced-apart position, in which the container end piece can be inserted around the tank end piece, and a clamped position, in which the clamping device co-operates with the tank end piece; and a control device that is actuable between a retracted position and an active position, in which the control device exerts a clamping force on the clamping device in its clamped position.

A liquid dispensing spout assembly is provided that includes a housing having a first cylindrical portion and a second cylindrical portion attached at an angle to the first cylindrical portion, a spout attached to a the second cylindrical housing, a vent disposed inside a lower portion of the first cylindrical housing, the second cylindrical housing, and the spout, and a valve assembly disposed inside the first cylindrical portion.

A volatile liquid refueling apparatus, which includes a probe, and a receiver including a dual locking mechanism whereby said apparatus can be locked in either an open position or a closed position, and a safety lock which disables or enables access to the dual locking mechanism when manually.

Exemplary embodiments of a safety nozzle and safety valve for portable gasoline containers are provided. A safety nozzle for a container can be provided, including a proximal end configured for placement in a safety valve, a distal end having a spout, a housing having an elongated portion extending from the proximal end to the distal end, a sliding bezel extending from an exterior of the housing to a sliding piston in an interior of the housing, a piston head having a first end at the proximal end and a second end for abutment with the sliding piston in the interior of the housing, and a retaining spring configured to maintain a holding pressure on the sliding piston to maintain the piston head in a closed position preventing liquid flow from the proximal end into the housing.

A novel flexible pouring spout guard that can be removably affixed to glasses, mugs, tumblers or other similar vessels used for holding beverages and other liquids and employed in pouring or drinking from such vessel, or in transferring liquids out of such vessel and into a bottle or other container, is described.
