Abstract

The funnel has a body of rigid material and is flared between an outlet and an inlet. The body (1) is frusto-conical and the ends (9 to 12) form bending lines. The trunk has a quadrilateral section, almost square when bent. The edge (8) of the entry opening (7) has a notch (13) in the shape of a segment. This notch is situated at the level (9) of a folding edge. The material used is paper and the inside is varnish coated. The funnel is cut from sheet, bent and glued.

Description

Entonnoir pliable et ensemble de plusieurs entonnoirs.Foldable funnel and set of several funnels.

La présente invention concerne un entonnoir comportant un corps en matériau relativement rigide s'évasant entre un orifice de sortie et une ouverture d'entrée. The present invention relates to a funnel comprising a body of relatively rigid material flaring between an outlet orifice and an inlet opening.

Elle concerne en particulier, mais non exclusivement, un entonnoir utilisable par les automobilistes. It relates in particular, but not exclusively, to a funnel usable by motorists.

Lorsqu'un automobiliste constate que le niveau d'huile de son moteur est trop bas, il en ajoute en utilisant son bidon de réserve. Etant donné qu'il s'agit là d'une opération en principe relativement peu fréquente, à laquelle on procède dans l'attente de la prochaine vidange, on ne prend pas la précaution d'emporter un entonnoir, car il s'agit là d'un objet relativement encombrant, malaisé à caser sous un capot-moteur, et susceptible d'engendrer des vibrations désagréables. Aussi, l'opération de remplissage en question se fait-elle sans entonnoir, ce qui, quel que soit le soin qu'on y apporte, produit des écoulements d'huile sur le moteur et le long du bidon, d'où perte d'huile et salissures. When a motorist finds that the oil level in his engine is too low, he adds it using his reserve canister. Since this is in principle a relatively infrequent operation, which is carried out while waiting for the next emptying, we do not take the precaution of carrying a funnel, because it is there a relatively bulky object, difficult to fit under a bonnet, and likely to generate unpleasant vibrations. Also, the filling operation in question is done without a funnel, which, whatever care is taken, produces oil flows on the engine and along the container, hence loss of 'oil and dirt.

Le but de l'invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients, et, à cet effet, un entonnoir conforme à la présente invention est caractérisé en ce que ledit corps a la forme générale d'un tronc de pyramide dont les arêtes constituent des lignes de pliage, de sorte que l'on obtient un entonnoir pliable. The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks, and, for this purpose, a funnel according to the present invention is characterized in that said body has the general shape of a trunk of a pyramid whose edges constitute lines of folding, so you get a foldable funnel.

L'automobiliste pourra ainsi en emporter quelques uns, empilés et placés par exemple dans la boite à gants du véhicule, ce qui ne lui causera aucune gêne. I1 pourra alors en toute occasion compléter commodément son plein d'huile sans bavures sur le moteur ou le long du bidon, sans perte d'huile, et sans risquer de se salir lui-même. The motorist will be able to take some of them, stacked and placed for example in the glove compartment of the vehicle, which will not cause him any discomfort. I1 can then conveniently complete its full of oil without burrs on the engine or along the container, without loss of oil, and without the risk of dirtying itself.

Sur le plan de l'exécution, on pourra adopter, pour la section transversale du tronc de pyramide que constitue le corps de l'entonnoir, toute forme appropriée, et prévoir par exemple un tronc de pyramide à section transversale quadrangulaire, notamment au moins approximativement carrée à l'état déplié. In terms of execution, we can adopt, for the cross section of the pyramid trunk that constitutes the body of the funnel, any suitable shape, and provide for example a pyramid trunk with quadrangular cross section, in particular at least approximately square in the unfolded state.

I1 s'agit là d'une forme qui permettra très commodément à l'utilisateur de maintenir d'une seule main l'en tonnoir déplié, et d'avoir son autre main libre, pour tenir le bidon. This is a form which will very conveniently allow the user to hold the unfolded barrel with one hand, and to have his other hand free, to hold the container.

De préférence, le bord de ladite ouverture d'entrée comporte une encoche en forme de portion de cercle ou analogue. Cette encoche, ayantéventuellelllent un rayon de courbure légèrement supérieur à celui du goulot du bidon, servira d'appui à ce goulot, ce qui rendra l'opération de versement encore plus commode, en limitant aussi le risque d'écoulement d'huile le long du bidon. A cet effet, il sera particulièrement avantageux de prévoir que ladite encoche se situe au niveau d'une arete de pliage. Preferably, the edge of said inlet opening has a notch in the form of a portion of a circle or the like. This notch, having an optional radius of curvature slightly greater than that of the neck of the container, will serve as a support for this neck, which will make the pouring operation even more convenient, also limiting the risk of oil spilling along from the can. To this end, it will be particularly advantageous to provide that said notch is located at a folding edge.

Quant au matériau constituant le corps de l'entonnoir, on pourra utiliser tout matériau approprié, par exemple du papier. On pourra ainsi obtenir des entonnoirs très bon marché, que l'utilisateur pourra jeter après usage. Tout autre matériau, en particulier tout autre matériau biodégradable, pourrait aussi convenir. As for the material constituting the body of the funnel, any suitable material may be used, for example paper. This will allow very inexpensive funnels to be obtained, which the user can discard after use. Any other material, in particular any other biodegradable material, could also be suitable.

On pourrait également envisager de la matière plastique, avec charnières de pliage continues entre deux pans voisins du tronc de pyramide. One could also consider plastic, with continuous folding hinges between two adjacent sides of the pyramid trunk.

Lorsque l'on utilise du papier, on prévoit avantageusement de le recouvrir d'un vernis, de préférence du côté intérieur, pour empêcher que l'huile ne le traverse. When using paper, provision is advantageously made to cover it with a varnish, preferably on the inside, to prevent oil from passing through it.

Un entonnoir conforme à l'invention sera particulièrement facile à fabriquer. On pourra prévoir notamment qu'il est élaboré par découpe dans une feuille, puis pliage et collage des bords des deux extrémités de la découpe. A funnel according to the invention will be particularly easy to manufacture. We can foresee in particular that it is produced by cutting from a sheet, then folding and gluing the edges of the two ends of the cut.

Un mode d'exécution de l'invention est décrit ci-dessous à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif, avec référence aux figures du dessin annexé, dans lequel :
- la figure 1 est une vue en perspective, et avec arrachement, d'un entonnoir conforme à l'invention, à l'état d'utilisation, c'est-à-dire déplié
- la figure 2 est une vue en élévation du meme entonnoir, plié. et la figure 3 montre un ensemble d'entonnoirs.
An embodiment of the invention is described below by way of nonlimiting example, with reference to the figures of the appended drawing, in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view, with parts broken away, of a funnel according to the invention, in the state of use, that is to say unfolded
- Figure 2 is an elevational view of the same funnel, folded. and Figure 3 shows a set of funnels.

Comme on le voit sur les figures, l'entonnoir 1 a la forme d'un tronc de pyramide à quatre pans 2, 3, 4 et 5 et s'évasant entre l'orifice de sortie 6 et l'ouverture d'en trée 7 , délimitée par le bord supérieur 8 . Les quatre pans sont reliés par des lignes de pliage 9, 10, 11 et 12
Une perforation ou encoche 13 , de forme en portion de cercle, à rayon de courbure éventuellen,ent légèrement supérieur à celui du goulot d'un bidon d'huile ordinaire de deux litres, est pratiquée dans ledit bord 8 , à cheval sur la ligne de pliage 9
Un tel entonnoir peut être constitué par découpe à la forme voulue dans une feuille de papier, puis collage d'une patte de recouvrement 14 , qui prolonge le pan 4 , sur le bord du pan 5 .L'intérieur de l'entonnoir est revêtu d'une couche de vernis approprié, apte à lui conférer une bonne imperméabilité, au moins pendant la durée de la mise en service. Le grammage du papier pourra par exemple etre
g/m2 de 170 g/m2 ou environ.
As can be seen in the figures, the funnel 1 has the shape of a truncated pyramid with four sides 2, 3, 4 and 5 and widens between the outlet orifice 6 and the inlet opening 7, delimited by the upper edge 8. The four sides are connected by fold lines 9, 10, 11 and 12
A perforation or notch 13, in the form of a portion of a circle, with a radius of curvature if necessary, slightly greater than that of the neck of a can of ordinary oil of two liters, is made in said edge 8, straddling the line folding 9
Such a funnel can be formed by cutting to the desired shape from a sheet of paper, then gluing a covering tab 14, which extends the pan 4, on the edge of the pan 5. The interior of the funnel is coated a suitable layer of varnish, capable of imparting good impermeability to it, at least for the duration of commissioning. The grammage of the paper could for example be
g / m2 of 170 g / m2 or so.

Sur le dessin, on a représenté un entonnoir à section transversale carrée, mais s'il s'agit là d'une forme particulièrement avantageuse, on pourrait en imaginer bien d'autres, par exemple rectangulaires. In the drawing, there is shown a funnel with a square cross section, but if this is a particularly advantageous shape, one could imagine many others, for example rectangular.

De toute façon, et comme il résulte d'ailleurs déjà de ce qui précède, l'invention ne se limite nullement à ceux de ses modes d'application et de réalisation qui ont été plus particulièrement envisagés ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes. In any case, and as it already follows from the above, the invention is in no way limited to those of its modes of application and embodiments which have been more particularly envisaged; on the contrary, it embraces all its variants.

En particulier, cn pourrait envisager d'utiliser un entonnoir conforme à l'invention dans bien d'autres domaines d'application que celui qui a été envisagé, et en particulier dans tous les cas où l'on a besoin, occasionnellement, de transvaser un liquide d'un récipient dans un autre, et que l'on n'a pas d'entonnoir classique à sa disposition. In particular, cn could consider using a funnel according to the invention in many other fields of application than that which has been envisaged, and in particular in all cases where it is necessary, occasionally, to transfer a liquid from one container to another, and that there is no conventional funnel at its disposal.

A la figure 3, on a représenté un ensemble d'entonnoirs semblables à celui qui vient d'etre décrit et qui est constitué de plusieurs entonnoirs (six dans l'exemple de la figure) reliés de façon pivotante par un oeillet 15 traversant les coins 16 des entonnoirs, lesquels sont eux-mêmes reliés aux pans 2 et 5 par une ligne de perforation courbe 13'. On comprend que l'on pourra alors extraire à volonté un entonnoir pliable de la pile ainsi constituée en désolidarisant cet entonnoir du coin 16 correspondant par déchirement au niveau de la ligne de perforation 13 , laquelle constituera alors la perforation ou encoche 13 mentionnez plus haut. In Figure 3, there is shown a set of funnels similar to that which has just been described and which consists of several funnels (six in the example of the figure) pivotally connected by an eyelet 15 passing through the corners 16 of the funnels, which are themselves connected to the panels 2 and 5 by a curved perforation line 13 '. We understand that we can then extract at will a foldable funnel from the stack thus formed by separating this funnel from the corresponding corner 16 by tearing at the perforation line 13, which will then constitute the perforation or notch 13 mentioned above.

Bien entendu, une telle pile d'entonnoirs pourra en comporter un nombre quelconque, supérieur ou inférieur à six. Of course, such a stack of funnels may include any number, greater than or less than six.
