Handheld fluid meter
A wireless metered fluid dispenser brings discrete fluid dispense events inside of a fluid management system. The wireless metered fluid dispenser allows a customer to visually confirm the fluid being dispensed and provides automatic tracking of the fluid dispense event within a wireless tracking system. A volumetric flowmeter attached to the bottom of a container or funnel tracks the amount of fluid dispensed when pouring from a container. The volumetric meter is wirelessly connected to a computer system for the transmission of data, for the purpose of centralized control and billing.
Self-Supporting Funnel
A self-supporting funnel designed to allow a user to use both hands to pour liquids therethrough at a specified angle. The self-supporting funnel includes a conical body having a first end disposed opposite a second end and tapers inward therebetween at a specified angle. The first end has an annular opening with a diameter and is designed to receive liquids therethrough. The second end has an annular opening with a diameter less than the diameter of the first end and is designed to expel liquids therethrough. A spout extends from the second end and includes an aperture therethrough. A stopper is removably secured to a distal end of the spout and also includes an aperture extending therethrough. In this way, a user is able to secure the self-supporting funnel within an aperture and thereby use both hands to pour liquids therethrough at a specified angle.
Anti-spill funnel assembly
An anti-spill funnel assembly which includes an outer reservoir funnel having a center funnel positioned therein. The outer reservoir funnel includes a cone-shaped portion having a spout extending downwardly therefrom. The center funnel includes a cone-shaped portion having a hollow stem extending downwardly therefrom. This center funnel also includes a spout extending downwardly from the lower end of the cone-shaped portion thereof. The hollow stem portion has a plurality of vertically disposed slots formed therein. When the funnel assembly is being used to fill a container or a piece of equipment, the spouts of the reservoir funnel and center funnel are inserted downwardly into the fill opening of a container or equipment. As liquid is poured into the container or equipment, any overflow liquid is passed upwardly into the outer reservoir funnel to prevent a spill.

MULTI-APPLICATION OIL FUNNEL CONSTRUCTION FOR REFILLING CRANKCASES THROUGH A FILLING PORT
A tool kit comprised of multiple components from which select components may be assembled to provide a customized funnel construction with an adapter matched to a crankcase filling port of an internal combustion engine. Selective components of the kit may be arranged to provide an efficient and easily assembled oil filing device which provides improved access to crankcase filling ports of internal combustion engines. The components can easily be rearranged depending upon the design of the filling port of engine which is being serviced. The kit includes a common funnel section, one or more unique nozzle sections which in combination are compatible with two or more distinct unique adapters. This combination enables the use of a funnel of universal design for and with adapters of distinct design.
Funnel assembly
A funnel assembly used for adding motor oil to cars or motorcycles is revealed. The funnel assembly includes a main body, a first sleeve, an extension tube, a second sleeve and a cover. The main body is connected to the first sleeve and the first sleeve is assembled with the extension tube. The extension tube is connected to the second sleeve and the second sleeve is assembled with the cover. The first sleeve and the extension tube can be assembled with each other toward different directions and so do the second sleeve and the cover. Thereby the funnel assembly can be applied to and mounted into oil fill holes at different positions of various cars.
Oil supply unit
An oil supply unit includes a reservoir connected to an outlet tube. A base has a recessed area defined in the top thereof, and a tubular portion extends from the bottom of the base. The recessed area has a passage which communicates with the tubular portion. The outlet tube extends through the passage and the tubular portion. A securing unit extends through the base and located corresponding to the tubular portion. The securing unit is movable relative to the outlet tube. A board is connected to the base and has a pass hole through which the outlet tube extends. Two springs are biased between one end of the board and one of inside walls of the recessed area. An object is clamped between the base and the securing unit such that the oil supply unit is stably and securely supply oil to a vehicle.
Split-able funnel
A split-able funnel device designed for efficient liquid transfer and easy cleaning. The funnel features a conical body that tapers from a wide opening to a narrow stem, allowing precise pouring into small containers. The innovative design includes a longitudinal split, enabling the funnel to open fully for thorough cleaning and convenient storage. The device incorporates a snap-fit or hinged splitting mechanism for secure assembly and easy separation. Additionally, the funnel body includes measurement markings for accurate liquid transfer and a filter mechanism for separating solids from liquids. Constructed from durable, flexible materials, the lightweight funnel is stackable and available in various sizes and colors, making it suitable for diverse applications. This split-able funnel device minimizes spillage and waste, providing a user-friendly solution for clean and efficient liquid transfer.
