A container filling device including a body having a top end, a bottom end, a first opening at the top end, a second opening at the bottom end, and a channel formed there between is provided in an embodiment herein. A diameter of the body at the top end is greater than a diameter of the body at the bottom end, and a rod component is disposed within the channel and is slidable within the channel, the rod component having a first end and a second end, an indicator element is disposed toward the first end of the rod component and a contact element is disposed toward the second end, wherein upon filling the container with a fluid, the contact element remains at the surface of the fluid, and the indicator element visually indicates the level of the fluid in the container.

An apparatus for minimizing spilling of liquids poured into a container, the apparatus comprising a funnel structure and a float member. The funnel structure has an open top portion extending to a flow aperture open into a spout extending downwardly beyond an almost-full level. The float member is movable within the spout and configured and dimensioned such that a float top is forced into a sealing engagement with the flow aperture by a liquid reaching the almost-full level below an empty head space reserved for draining the liquid from the top portion by lifting the funnel structure thus disengaging the flow aperture from the float member. The top portion may have a frusto-conical shape tapering from an open mouth to the flow aperture.

A weighted funnel, the weight assisting to keep the funnel substantially upright, the weight comprising a periphery defining an internal void, the void receiving the neck of the funnel. The neck of the funnel is threaded externally while the weight is threaded internally (in the void) so that the threads engage each other, securing the weight in place. Other embodiments allow for alternate methods of securing the weight.
