An improved funnel includes an inner liner formed from a hydrophobic material, wherein oil from an automobile can contact and pass through said funnel without leaving any oil residue upon said inner liner, such that the funnel can be used for a different type of liquid immediately thereafter without cleaning. The improved funnel may also include a tool cut-out formed through its top rim and a portion of its side wall to allow an oil bolt or oil filter wrench to pass therethrough and be used when the improved funnel is placed adjacent to an automobile oil discharge aperture. The improved funnel may also include magnets to releasably hold the improved funnel to the automobile when in use.

10926988 · 2021-02-23 · ·

A funnel can include an inlet orifice, an outlet orifice and a sidewall extending axially between the inlet orifice and the outlet orifice. The funnel can also include a tool holder for holding at least one tool and that is disposed within the funnel. At least first and second support members can extend between an inner surface of the sidewall and the tool holder to support the tool holder within the funnel. The first support member, second support member and tool holder may be rotatable with the sidewall about a funnel axis to rotatably drive a tool connected to the tool holder when the funnel is rotated about the funnel axis by a user.

Nuffle
20200055171 · 2020-02-20 ·

Hand Tool that combines a funnel and a socket-wrench extension into one device. The Nuffle makes engine oil changes easier by integrating both the device used to remove oil-pan drain plugs and the device used to direct the flow of fluids draining from the engine. The Nuffle eliminates the numerous hazards of using a separate funnel and socket-wrench to perform engine oil changes in both home and commercial settings.

Fluid draining system
12031672 · 2024-07-09 ·

A fluid draining system, for serving as an aid in emptying waste oil or other fluid from a fluid container to a fluid collection container, includes a main body, which may be made of injection molded plastic and may be at least partially transparent. The main body may have an opening for entrance of fluid from the fluid container, and a lower downward sloping chute for the exiting of the fluid towards the fluid collection container. A sleeve with one or more elastic seals may be provided at the main body to fluid-tightly yet operatively accommodate a socket extension or other tool for operating a drain plug of the fluid container. The fluid draining system may provide a unique hands free, confined fluid flow channel through which fluid will flow while draining from the fluid container, such as from an engine oil pan, crankcase, or transmission sump.
