Abstract

(57) [Problem] To provide a funnel capable of injecting oils, paints, and other fluids contained in a wide-mouthed can or the like from a small injection hole easily and without failure. The present invention comprises a funnel having a detachable receiving edge which can be attached at least partially to an edge of an upper end opening of an existing container for storing a fluid, thereby providing a mounting funnel of the present invention. .

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to a funnel used for transferring a fluid such as a liquid from an existing container to another.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A funnel used to pour fluid into a relatively small inlet means a discharge tube with an upper opening at the top and a lower opening at the bottom. And this basic form has not changed at all to this day.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 If such a conventional funnel is placed such that a discharge tube is inserted into the inlet when setting the funnel, the inlet is blocked by the outer wall of the receiving port, and there is no air outlet, so fluid There is a worry that will not transition smoothly. In order to avoid this, the funnel had to be lifted a little, which made both hands inaccessible and extremely inconvenient.

[0004] For example, at a gas station, even after a tank lorry has been used to supply oil to a fuel supply port with a hose, a small amount of oil (gasoline, light oil, etc.) remains in the tank due to a slight inclination or the like. It is collected in a pail can (cylindrical wide-mouth can with a capacity of about 20 l) and then injected again from the inlet. However, since this filler port is only about 4 inches in diameter, it is extremely difficult to pour the oil in the pail so that it does not get spilled, and it is not possible to use a conventional funnel as described above. There was an inconvenience. An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A funnel having a detachable receiving edge 2 that can be at least partially tightly attached to the upper opening edge 1 of the existing container A for storing the fluid, and the mounting type funnel B of the present invention. And

That is, as long as this is a funnel, the discharge tube 3 is of course formed continuously from the peripheral portion of the above-mentioned receiving port so as to be separated therefrom.

[0007] A typical form is as shown in FIG. 1, in which the receiving port has a laterally or downwardly-facing semi-cut dome shape, and a part of the receiving port peripheral portion 2 has a cutout of the dome. The other parts are mounted in close contact with the peripheral edge 1 of the upper end opening of the existing container A.

[0008] The means for tightly attaching the container is such that the periphery of the receptacle is formed of an elastic resin in accordance with the shape of the outer periphery of the upper end of the existing container whose shape is standardized, and a ring-shaped stopper or band is used. Well-known methods such as use can be sufficient. The attachment is detachable.

When handling a flammable material such as gasoline, it is necessary to make the material of the funnel conductive so that sparks due to static electricity do not occur.

[0010]

[Action]

 Since the present invention has such a configuration, when it is attached to the edge 1 of the upper end opening of the wide-open existing container A containing the fluid C such as oil, and tilted as shown in FIG. C can be transferred to the discharge pipe 3 as it is and can be easily injected into the oil supply port 4 and the like. At that time, the existing container A containing the fluid C can be held firmly with both hands and the air can be removed. Since the escape port is not blocked, the flow of the fluid C does not stagnate or spill.

[0011]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 A non-electrostatic rubber material containing conductive material is formed in a semi-dome shape so that the lower inner edge fits tightly around the upper and outer edge of the pail can. A hose having a length of 20 to 50 cm is formed integrally with the same material from a through hole having a diameter of about 2 cm provided several cm above.

Also, if necessary, a band 5 may be provided so as to surround the upper outer edge of the pail can container from both ends of the lower edge of the semi-half dome-shaped portion to be tightly fitted, or a separate ring-shaped fastener Or use.

As another example, a funnel-like body having a receiving portion and a long tube portion to be fitted into an opening provided in an upper portion of the paint-containing can is formed of the same material. At this time, the pipe part is provided in the through hole provided on the slope inclined in the shape of an inverted umbrella from the receiving part, and an air vent hole is formed at the opposite electrode position, so that the mounting funnel of the present invention is provided. Of course, the present invention is not limited to such an example.

[0014]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when a fluid in a container such as a wide-mouthed can is poured into a relatively small inlet, the container is held in a hollow state with both hands and tilted to overflow the discharge tube. In addition, since the fluid can be injected without interruption, the transfer of the fluid, such as residual oil and paint, can be performed extremely easily and without failure. is there.
