Description

The present invention relates to a funnel receptacle that supports a funnel for injecting liquid into a bottle.

In general, when a seasoning, oil, liquid medicine, or the like is poured from a large container into a small capacity bottle, a funnel is inserted into the mouth of the bottle. This conventional funnel has a structure in which an injection tube communicating with the bottom of the receiver body having a hollow inverted conical shape is integrally suspended, and the injection tube is inserted into the mouth of the bottle to receive the receiver body. The liquid is poured from the top of the. However, in the conventional funnel, the liquid inflow path and the air discharge path are the same, so that the liquid to be injected and the air in the bottle are alternately switched, and when a large amount of liquid is poured at once, the funnel May overflow.

For this reason, a funnel (Patent Document 1) has been developed in which a groove is formed in the outer wall of the injection tube and the receiver body so that air in the bottle is discharged from the groove formed in the outer surface. In addition, a funnel (Patent Document 2) has been developed in which protrusions are formed on the outer surface of the injection tube and the receiver body, and a gap for extracting air is formed between the mouth of the bottle and the injection tube.

However, since these funnels are all inserted into the mouth of a bottle having a small inner diameter, the grooves and protrusions that can be formed on the outer surface of the injection tube are small. For this reason, only a small air vent can be formed between the injection tube and the inner wall of the mouth of the bottle, and if a large amount of liquid is poured into the funnel at a time, there is a problem that the air does not escape and overflows. In addition, the conventional funnel has an infusion tube inserted into the mouth of the bottle and is supported by the bottle. Therefore, the stability of the funnel is poor, and when a large amount of liquid is poured into the funnel, the funnel tilts and spills.

The present invention improves the above problems and provides a funnel receptacle that can stably support a commercial funnel by using a commercially available funnel and can smoothly inject a large amount of liquid without pouring. Is.

In the funnel receptacle according to claim 1 of the present invention, an injection tube guide tube that communicates with the bottom of a hollow inverted conical main body is suspended, and an outer tube is provided so as to surround the injection tube guide tube. , Formed integrally on the bottom side of the receiver body, and formed between the outer tube and the injection tube guide tube to form an annular insertion portion into which the neck of the bottle is inserted, from the lower part of the injection tube guide tube An air vent hole that communicates the annular insertion portion with the outside is opened in the outer cylinder at the upper position.

The funnel receptacle according to claim 2 of the present invention is characterized in that a cushion material is attached to the inside of the annular insertion portion into which the neck portion of the bottle is inserted.

According to the funnel receptacle according to claim 1 of the present invention, when the funnel is inserted into the funnel receptacle from above, the injection tube of the funnel is inserted inside the injection tube guide tube, and then the liquid is injected into the funnel. The liquid flows from the injection tube through the injection tube guide tube to the inside of the bottle. At this time, the air rises from the gap between the injection tube guide tube and the mouth of the bottle, and is discharged to the outside through the air vent from the upper part of the annular insertion portion, so that the liquid flow path and the air discharge path are separated. Thus, the liquid can be smoothly injected into the bottle without overflowing.

Further, according to the funnel receptacle according to claim 2, since the cushion material is attached to the inner side of the outer cylinder, the neck portion of the bottle is sandwiched from the outside by the cushion material, so that the funnel receptacle can be reliably supported. it can.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the figure, reference numeral 1 designates a funnel receptacle, which is an injection tube guide cylinder 3 that is integrally suspended from the bottom of a receptacle body 2 having a hollow inverted conical shape made of plastic. An outer cylinder 4 is integrally formed on the bottom side of the receiver body 2 so as to surround the tube guide cylinder 3. Further, an annular insertion portion 7 into which the neck portion 6 of the bottle 5 is inserted is formed between the outer tube 4 and the injection tube guide tube 3, and the outer tube 4 is positioned above the lower portion of the injection tube guide tube 3. A plurality of air vent holes 8 communicating with the annular insertion portion 7 and the outside are opened.

In addition, a circular cushion material 9 formed of a rubber tube is attached to the lower peripheral edge inside the annular insertion portion 7, and a plurality of vertical cushions 9 are also provided at intervals on the inner wall surface of the annular insertion portion 7. A cushion material 9 formed of a rubber tube is attached. In addition, 10 is a commercially available funnel, and this is the bottom part of the funnel body 11 having a hollow inverted conical shape, and the injection pipe 12 communicating with the funnel body 11 is integrally suspended. It is what.

A case where the liquid 15 is injected from the large-capacity container 14 into the small-capacity bottle 5 using the funnel receiver 1 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIG. The funnel holder 1 is put on the neck portion 6 of the bottle 5, the neck portion 6 is inserted into the annular insertion portion 7, and the injection tube guide tube 3 is inserted inside the mouth portion 17. A circular cushion material 9 formed of a rubber tube is attached to the inner lower peripheral edge of the outer cylinder 4, and a plurality of rubber tubes are vertically arranged at intervals on the inner wall surface of the annular insertion portion 7. Since the formed cushioning material 9 is attached, the neck 6 is sandwiched by the cushioning material 9 from the outside, and the funnel receptacle 1 is reliably supported.

Thereafter, a commercially available funnel 10 is inserted into the receiver body 2 of the funnel receiver 1 from above, and the lower injection tube 12 is inserted inside the injection tube guide tube 3. Thereafter, the container 15 with a large capacity is tilted with both hands, and the liquid 15 is injected into the funnel body 11 of the funnel 10. The liquid 15 injected here passes through the injection tube guide tube 3 from the injection tube 12 and flows into the inside from the mouth portion 17 of the bottle 5.

At this time, the air rises from the gap between the injection tube guide tube 3 and the mouth portion 17 and is discharged to the outside from the upper portion of the annular insertion portion 7 through the air vent hole 8 opened in the outer tube 4. Accordingly, since the flow path of the liquid 15 and the air discharge path are formed separately, the liquid 15 and the air in the bottle 5 are quickly exchanged, and the liquid 15 is smoothly put into the bottle 5 without overflowing the funnel 10. Can be injected.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which a float 19 is attached to the lower end of a guide bar 18 and a stopper 21 having a cross-shaped blade 20 attached to the upper part is attached to the funnel 10. The guide bar 18 can be adjusted in its length by inserting the upper part of the round bar 22 into the pipe 23.

The stopper 21 can block the lower end of the injection tube guide cylinder 3 because the float 19 floats on the liquid surface when the liquid 15 in the bottle 5 is injected up to the neck 6. In this case, the injection may be stopped when the blade 20 of the stopper 21 is raised. This is particularly effective when water is poured into an opaque container such as a vase.

In addition, the receiving body 2 is not limited to the above configuration, and may have another structure as long as the receiving body 2 is formed in a hollow inverted conical shape in which the funnel 10 can be inserted and supported. Moreover, although the case where the rubber tube was used as the cushion material 9 was shown, as long as it is a cushioning material, another material may be sufficient and the shape can also be selected arbitrarily.
