Bucket Funnel
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.

BAR BOTTLE
A dispensing bottle has a spout formed integrally with a neck that extends to a body of the bottle. The spout comprises first and second passages oriented at an angle to the neck. A partition inside the neck forms an extension of the second passage. The partition extends at least to a base of the neck such that air entering the second passage is carried through the neck and released into the body of the bottle. The bottle may have first and second parts detachably affixed together.

SAFETY NOZZLE AND SAFETY VALVE
Exemplary embodiments of a safety nozzle and safety valve for portable gasoline containers are provided. A safety nozzle for a container can be provided, comprising 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.
Sip-Hole Improvement Insert Device
A insert device method and system that can prevent the undesirable spill and splash of sloshing liquids through the sip-hole a container and or the sip-hole of a lid, but yet still allow liquid to pass through the sip-hole. This is achieved by creating a tube or tubular flow-path or labyrinth flow-path device, with a inlet, and flange that could be secured to a sip-hole in efforts to direct and control the flow and rate of liquid from within a container. These elements can be combined with a tear-off seal, or plug to help to thwart and deflect sloshing liquid thereby minimizing or preventing the accidental release of liquid while still allowing the passage of liquid, and in some cases improving the flow of liquid. The addition of a removable seal or plug can allow the device to prevent liquid flow as desired.
DRAIN SPOUT FOR DRAINING MATERIAL FROM FIRST BARREL TO SECOND BARREL
A drain spout includes a tubular structure with threads on at least a first end for attaching to a small bunghole of a draining barrel. A process of draining material from the draining barrel includes screwing the drain spout into the small bunghole on the draining barrel. The draining barrel is aligned beside a catch barrel with the small bungholes of the barrels on the outsides and the two large bungholes side by side. The draining barrel is tilted with the drain spout towards the catch barrel and lifting the bottom of the draining barrel while inserting the second end of the drain spout into the big bunghole of the catch barrel. The draining barrel is rotated around the drain spout acting as the axis of rotation approximately 180 degrees until the lip of both barrels meet. The draining barrel is leaned back supported by the drain spout while draining.
CAP FOR VENTING A CONTAINER
A container for dispensing a liquid that includes a body, a closure, and an overcap. The body includes an interior storage volume, a neck finish on a first wall of the body, and a protrusion on a second wall of the body. The neck finish defined outlet through the first wall for dispensing the liquid. The closure for sealing the outlet and coupled to the neck finish. The overcap is removably coupled to the closure and includes a first end including a recess configured to receive a portion of the closure when the overcap is coupled to the closure and a second end including a shield defining a shield recess and a piercer. The shield is configured is configured to at least partially surround the protrusion of the body such that the piercer pierces the protrusion to create a vent opening when the shield at least partially surrounds the protrusion.
Resealable spout for selectively accessing coconut water within a coconut
A resealable spigot for a coconut that provides easy access by consumers to the sterile coconut water within a coconut includes a valve seat positioned within a coconut aperture and a plunger sleeve positioned within the valve seat. The plunger sleeve has a based positioned membrane that seals the coconut aperture, A plunger-stopper is tethered to the plunger sleeve for shipping and storage and is used by the consumer to pierce the plunger sleeve membrane to gain access to the coconut water. The plunger sleeve is also used to reseal the coconut aperture to preserve any remaining coconut water for future consumption. Further provided is an additional embodiment for a spigot comprising a conduit having a spike-tip on one end and a spout on the other with a through bore therebetween. The coconut having a partially inserted spigot is provided to the consumer whereby the consumer gains access to the sterile coconut water by pushing the partially inserted spigot to its seated position with a grommet provided as an insertion stop for the spigot. An optional air vent is provided to aid in fluid flow from the spigot.
