Description

  The present invention relates to a funnel used for transferring liquid to a predetermined container or the like, and a holder for holding the funnel when not in use.

  A funnel is used to transfer the liquid to a small-diameter container or the like. As is well known, this funnel body has a configuration in which a cylindrical pouring part is connected to the lower end of the inverted frustum tubular funnel part, and the pouring part is inserted into the mouth tube of the container and the liquid is poured into the funnel part. Thus, the liquid is injected into the container through the pouring part without leakage.

However, since this structure has an irregular shape, it is a hindrance when not in use and is difficult to handle. Alternatively, immediately after use, the residual liquid drips and is unsanitary. In view of such a demand, for example, inventions related to the following documents have been proposed.
JP 2003-72891 A JP 2002-104588 A

  The invention disclosed in the above-mentioned document 1 is a “folding type” “funnel”, which is constructed by folding one sheet and heat-sealing one side, and the folding line and the fusion part line are straight lines. The funnel that is assembled becomes angulated, and it is difficult to insert the discharge part into the housing's mouth tube, and the cylindrical discharge part is not located in the center of the supply part. Therefore, when the liquid is injected into the supply tube after being inserted into the mouthpiece, the weight may not be balanced, and there is a risk of wobbling or falling down, and the entire funnel is always held at the time of injection. There must be.

  Alternatively, after use, in view of hygiene, the remaining droplets and washing droplets cannot be folded unless they are dried.

  Moreover, although the invention disclosed in the above-mentioned document 2 is a “funnel” with “stand”, the stand here is for supporting the funnel when liquid is injected, and is not used when the funnel is not used. .

  Therefore, the present invention is a funnel body and its holder developed to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages, inconveniences and dissatisfactions of the prior art, and can minimize the occupied space when not in use and achieve hygienic holding. The purpose is to do so.

  In order to solve the above problems, the funnel body of the present invention is formed of a soft resin, and a cylindrical pouring part is connected to the lower end of the inverted frustum cylindrical funnel part, and the funnel part and the pouring part described above are connected. A circumferential groove is provided on the outer periphery of the continuous portion, and the funnel portion described above can be reversed and deformed at the circumferential groove portion.

  Further, the holder of the present invention is a holder for holding the funnel body in a posture in which the funnel portion is inverted and deformed, and a holding pin in which the pouring portion of the funnel body is fitted into a base plate fixed to a wall or the like It is the structure characterized by having stood upright.

  Therefore, according to the funnel body of the present invention, in the normal form as a funnel, the liquid is poured into the funnel portion in a posture in which the pouring portion is inserted into the mouthpiece of the housing, so that this liquid does not leak into the housing body. In addition, the funnel body is made of a soft resin, so that when the pouring part is inserted into a mouth tube such as a casing, friction resistance is generated and it does not wobble, and even if you do not hold your hand Injection operation is possible. When not in use, the funnel can be inverted and deformed at the circumferential groove to make it compact.

  Further, according to the holder of the present invention, the funnel body can be held by fitting the pouring portion of the funnel body into the holding pin in a posture in which the funnel portion in the funnel body is inverted and deformed. By fixing to a wall or the like, there are many excellent effects such as being able to be stored hygienically without being disturbed and being dried.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for realizing the funnel body and the holder of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The funnel body 1 of the present invention is formed of a soft resin such as silicon, rubber, or synthetic resin, and has an inverted cone. A cylindrical pouring part 3 having a reduced diameter as it goes downward is communicated with the lower end of the trapezoidal funnel part 2, and a circumferential groove 4 is formed on the outer periphery of the continuous part of the funnel part 2 and the pouring part 3. This is a configuration provided.

  Accordingly, the funnel portion 3 can be reversed and deformed at the circumferential groove 4 portion, and the cylindrical pouring portion 3 is located in the truncated cone-shaped funnel portion 2.

  Further, the holder 5 of the present invention has a configuration in which a holding pin 7 into which the pouring portion 3 of the funnel body 1 in a posture in which the funnel portion 2 is inverted and deformed is fitted is erected on a base plate 6 fixed to a wall or the like. is there.

  A plurality of vertical grooves 8 are provided at equal intervals along the axial direction on the outer surfaces of the funnel portion 2 and the extraction portion 3. When pouring part 3 is inserted and brought into contact with a mouth tube such as a casing at the time of liquid injection, or when funnel part 2 is placed on the mouth tube in the case of a wide-mouthed mouth, in a state where liquid is filled in funnel part 2 Since the inside of the housing is almost airtight, it is difficult for the liquid to flow in. Therefore, at this time, the longitudinal groove 8 is provided as an air flow passage so that the air in the housing can be smoothly extracted to the outside.

  Further, as a means for fixing the holder 5 to a wall or the like, the base plate 6 may be in the form of a suction cup.

(A) of the funnel body concerning this invention is a use state, (b) is a half sectional view of a reverse deformation state. It is a perspective view of a funnel body. It is a perspective view of the attitude | position which is going to hold | maintain the funnel body made into the reverse deformation state to the holder fixed to the wall.
