Multipurpose Vented Funnel

Abstract

A multipurpose vented funnel is a device for funneling liquid, wherein the device includes a conical hollow body having open top end directed into an outlet spout end, with an inner and outer wall wherein the inner wall of the conical hollow body includes a linear pattern of grooves extending vertically from the bottom of the overflow guard and ended at the spout opening. The conical hollow body has a handle with is integrated and part of tubular rectangular vent passageway structure for the venting of air or gas from a reservoir and/or container. In addition, a plurality of stabilizer tabs outwardly project from the down spout for the stable supporting of a containers.

Claims

1. A multipurpose vended funnel comprising: a funnel having a conical hollow body and an inner wall, an outer wall, and a wide end inlet opening and a structure having a tubular passageway that extend from the narrow outlet along the inner wall surface of the funnel, forming a portion of the tubular passageway into a handle in order to provide a handle comprises upper and lower surface and wherein the passageway extends into contact with the lower surface of the handle, and a stabilizing strips disposed on the exterior of the spout in order to adapt the funnel to fill containers of varying size openings.

2. The multipurpose vended funnel of claim 1, wherein a funnel body is defining an upper inlet opening and a lower discharge opening, the inlet being of greater diameter or width than the discharge opening, making the funnel suitable for filling reservoirs and narrow lipped containers.

3. The multipurpose vended funnel of claim 1, wherein a handle has upper surface and exterior of the funnel outer wall between which a aperture extends, the passageway portion extending through the aperture and along the interior of the handle and an outlet vent opening for delivery of escaping air and stopping flow of liquid back thru the vented passageway limiting the possibility of spillage.

4. The multipurpose vended funnel of claim 1, wherein the grooves 21 are extending vertically along the inner wall in a linear Pattern spaced relation from each other and arranged such that the grooves prevent splatters and blockage making the transfer of material smoother and faster.

5. The multipurpose vented funnel of claim 1, wherein the funnel body provides a shorten spout projecting from the body of the funnel axially outwardly therefrom, and stabilizer tab disposed on the exterior of the body of the down spout.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN EMBODIMENT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

[0024] In the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this application. The drawings show, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0025] The present invention shown in FIG. 1 illustrate the multipurpose vended funnel 10 comprises a top end opening 11 for receiving liquid, a bottom opening 12 for the dispense of said liquid is comprise of a conical hollow body 13 elongating into an outlet spout 14, a handle 15 attached to outer wall 16 includes the tubular rectangular vent passageway 17 exhaust vent 18. The inner wall 19 includes the groove 21 of the conical hollow body 13 with the vent passageway 17 continuing from the handle 15 into the outlet spout 14 terminating where the air intake 20 is located.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2 is a top view of the multipurpose vended funnel 10 having an conical hollow body 13 with a handle 15 attached to the outer wall 16 includes an inner wall 19 vent passageway 17 terminating at the bottom opening 12.

[0027] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 is a cross section view of the multipurpose vended funnel 10 showing the top end opening 11 and the bottom opening 12 wherein the grooves 21 are extending vertically along the inner wall 19 in a linear pattern from the bottom of the overflow guard 23 stopping at the opening of the outlet spout 14. In addition, the vent passageway 17 is shown traveling from the outlet spout 14 thru the inner wall 19 and into the handle 15 and out the handle vent 18.

[0028] As generally shown in FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the multipurpose vended funnel 10 rigid construction hollow body 13 includes a handle 15 with the exhaust vent 18 location. In addition, the outlet spout 14 is shown with the projecting stabilizer tabs 22 constructive coextensively periphery with the outlet spout 14 arrangement provides for stable connection.

[0029] As best seen in FIG. 4A is a cross section view of the multipurpose vended funnel 10 having the vent passageway 17 located within the handle 15 and showing in detail the location of the handle vent 18.

[0030] as shown in FIG. 5 is an illustration of the multipurpose vended funnel 10 engaged in the filling process with an soap dispenser 24 highlighting the stabilizer tabs 22 located on the outlet spout 14 keeping the vended funnel 10 nested and from dislodging from the soap dispenser opening 25.

[0031] more specifically, as shown in FIG. 6 illustrate the multipurpose vended funnel 10 in relationship suitable for filling various reservoir 26 with may be attached to an engine motor 27, and/or other type of reservoir, for example automotive vehicle (not shown).

[0032] moreover, as show in FIG. 7 is another illustration of the multipurpose vended funnel 10 showing the transfer of liquid from the multipurpose vended funnel 10 into a container 28.
