Description

  The present invention relates to a funnel.

  Conventionally, a funnel is used when a fluid is poured into a container (for example, when hot water is poured into a hot water bottle).

  Conventionally used funnels are generally composed of a substantially hemispherical water storage section, and a spout having a shape projecting from the water storage section, communicating with the water storage section so that fluid can pass therethrough. It is configured.

  When using this funnel to pour fluid into the container, insert the spout into the mouth of the container and pour the fluid into the water storage part of the funnel, then the fluid will pass from the water storage part through the spout and into the container. Flows in.

  Since the conventional funnel was used with the spout just inserted into the mouth of the container, it was inevitable that the funnel was unstable with respect to the container. For this reason, the funnel often tilts with respect to the mouth of the container. In such a case, the fluid stored in the water storage section flows out of the funnel or the water storage section In some cases, the fluid to be poured into the water reservoir does not enter the water reservoir and is poured outside the water reservoir.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems in conventional funnels, and an object thereof is to provide a funnel that can be stably supported with respect to a container into which a fluid is poured.

  Hereinafter, means for solving the above-described problems will be described using reference numerals used in “Embodiments of the Invention”. These reference numerals are added only for the purpose of clarifying the correspondence between the description of “Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration” and the description of “Mode for Invention”. It should not be used to interpret the technical scope of the device described in the claims.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides, as a first aspect, a funnel (100) used when a fluid is poured into a container (150) having an insertion hole (151) protruding outward, A water storage part (101) for storing fluid, a water spout (102) communicating with the water storage part (101) so that the fluid can pass therethrough, and a spout (102) having a shape that can be inserted into the insertion hole (151) , Formed on the outer peripheral surface of the water reservoir (101) around the spout (102), extends in the same direction as the spout (102), and the spout (102) is inserted into the insertion hole (151). A stand (103) formed so as to surround the insertion hole (151) when inserted into the insertion hole (151). The stand (103) inserts the spout (102) into the insertion hole (151). Included When I, by its front end comes into contact with the outer surface of the container (150), to provide a funnel (100) is intended to support the funnel (100) with respect to said vessel (150).

  Furthermore, as a second aspect, the present invention provides a funnel (200) for use in pouring a fluid into a container (150) having an insertion hole (151) projecting outward, and a water storage unit ( 101), a pour spout (102) that communicates with the water reservoir (101) so that the fluid can pass, and has a shape that can be inserted into the insertion hole (151), and the pour spout (102 ) Around the water reservoir (101), extends in the same direction as the spout (102), and the spout (102) is inserted into the insertion hole (151). A stand (103a) formed so as to surround the insertion hole (151), and the stand (103a) is inserted when the spout (102) is inserted into the insertion hole (151). Tip provides a funnel (200) and has a length that does not touch the outer surface of the container (150).

  Moreover, in the funnel (300) according to the present invention, when the spout (102) is inserted into the insertion hole (151), the insertion hole (151) is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the water storage part (101). In addition, it is preferable that a waterproof seal (301) is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the water reservoir (101).

  According to the funnel according to the first aspect of the present invention, the tip of the stand contacts the outer surface of the container when the spout is inserted into the insertion hole of the container. That is, the stand stands on the outer surface of the container. For this reason, the funnel is supported with respect to the container by standing on the outer surface of the container in addition to being supported with respect to the container at the spout by inserting the spout into the insertion hole. Will be. For this reason, the funnel can be stably supported with respect to the container.

  For this reason, it becomes possible to prevent the funnel from tilting with respect to the insertion hole of the container. By tilting the funnel with respect to the container, the fluid stored in the water storage section can be prevented. It is possible to prevent the fluid that flows out to the outside or that the fluid to be poured into the water storage section does not enter the water storage section and is poured outside the water storage section.

  According to the funnel according to the second aspect of the present invention, even if the funnel is inclined with respect to the insertion hole of the container, the stand is formed so as to surround the insertion hole when the spout is inserted into the insertion hole. Therefore, when the funnel is inclined to some extent, the stand hits the outer wall of the insertion hole. For this reason, since the degree of inclination of the funnel is extremely small as compared with the conventional funnel, even if the funnel is inclined, the fluid stored in the water storage section can be prevented from flowing out of the water storage section. That is, according to the funnel according to the second aspect, although the function of preventing the inclination of the funnel is inferior to that of the funnel according to the first aspect, the funnel is sufficiently stable to the container to withstand use. Support is possible.

  Also, by providing a waterproof seal on the funnel, even if the fluid does not fully enter the container, the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the water storage section and the insertion hole of the container is sealed with the waterproof seal, so that the fluid There is no leakage from between the outer peripheral surface of the water reservoir and the insertion hole, and excess fluid is accumulated in the water reservoir. For this reason, it has been found that the container is already filled with fluid, and in such a case, by draining excess fluid accumulated in the water reservoir, the fluid does not leak outside the funnel, It is possible to fill the container with a fluid.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a funnel 100 and a container 150 for injecting fluid using the funnel 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial view of the funnel 100 and the container 150 when the funnel 100 is used. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container 150 (for example, a hot water bottle) has an insertion hole 151 protruding outward (upward in FIGS. 1 and 2).

  The insertion hole 151 has a cylindrical shape, and a male screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface. After a fluid (for example, hot water) is put into the container 150, the insertion hole 151 is closed with a cap (not shown) in which an internal thread is formed on the inner peripheral surface.

  The funnel 100 according to the present embodiment is used to flow a fluid into the container 150.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the funnel 100 communicates with a substantially hemispherical water storage part 101 for storing fluid, and the water storage part 101 so that fluid can pass through, and is inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150. And a stand 103 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the water storage unit 101 around the spout 102 and extending in the same direction as the spout 102.

  The spout 102 extends downward from the lowermost position of the water storage unit 101. The spout 102 has a tapered shape such that the radius of the cross section decreases as it approaches the tip.

  The stand 103 has a cylindrical shape concentric with the spout 102.

  The stand 103 is positioned around the insertion hole 151 so as to surround the insertion hole 151 when the spout 102 is inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150.

  Furthermore, when the spout 102 is inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150, the stand 103 comes into contact with the outer surface of the container 150 at its tip (lower end in FIGS. 1 and 2), so that the funnel 100 is placed in the container 150. Stable support against.

  The funnel 100 according to the present embodiment is used as follows.

  First, the cap is removed from the insertion hole 151 of the container 150.

  Next, the spout 102 of the funnel 100 is inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150. At this time, since the tip of the stand 103 contacts the outer surface of the container 150, the funnel 100 is stably supported with respect to the container 150.

  Next, the fluid is poured into the water storage unit 101 of the funnel 100. The fluid poured into the water reservoir 101 is injected from the water reservoir 101 into the container 150 through the spout 102.

  The funnel 100 according to this embodiment has the following effects.

  According to the funnel 100 according to the present embodiment, when the spout 102 is inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150, the tip of the stand 103 (the lower end in FIGS. 1 and 2) contacts the outer surface of the container 150. . That is, the stand 103 stands on the outer surface of the container 150.

  For this reason, the funnel 100 is formed by the stand 103 standing on the outer surface of the container 150 in addition to being supported with respect to the container 150 at the spout 102 by inserting the spout 102 into the insertion hole 151. Is also supported by the container 150. For this reason, the funnel 100 can be stably supported with respect to the container 150.

  For this reason, it becomes possible to prevent the funnel 100 from being inclined with respect to the insertion hole 151 of the container 150, and the funnel 100 is stored in the water storage unit 101 by being inclined with respect to the container 150. It is possible to prevent the fluid that has been flowing out of the funnel 100 or the fluid to be poured into the water storage unit 101 from being poured into the water storage unit 101 without entering the water storage unit 101. it can.

  The funnel 100 according to the present embodiment is not limited to the above structure, and various modifications can be made.

  For example, in the funnel 100 according to the present embodiment, the water reservoir 101 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape, but the shape of the water reservoir 101 is not limited to a hemisphere. As long as the shape can store the fluid therein, the water storage unit 101 can have an arbitrary shape.

  Moreover, in the funnel 100 according to the present embodiment, the spout 102 has a tapered shape close to a cylindrical shape, but the shape of the spout 102 is not limited to this. The spout 102 can have any shape as long as it can be inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150.

  Further, in the funnel 100 according to the present embodiment, the stand 103 is configured to have a cylindrical shape, but the shape of the stand 103 is not limited to the cylindrical shape. As long as the stand 103 surrounds the insertion hole 151 of the container 150 and is in contact with the outer surface of the container 150, the stand 103 can have any shape. For example, the cross section of the stand 103 can be a polygon or any other closed shape.

  The stand 103 is not necessarily required to have a circular, polygonal or other closed shape in cross section, and the stand 103 is configured as two or more rods formed with a gap therebetween. It is also possible.

(Second embodiment)
FIG. 3 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of the funnel 200 and the container 150 when the funnel 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is used.

  Compared with the funnel 100 according to the first embodiment, the funnel 200 according to the present embodiment includes a stand 103 a instead of the stand 103. Except for this point, the funnel 200 according to this embodiment has the same structure as the funnel 100 according to the first embodiment. For this reason, about the same component as the funnel 100 concerning 1st embodiment, it shows using the same referential mark.

  The stand 103 in the funnel 100 according to the first embodiment is such that when the spout 102 is inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150, the tip of the stand 103 (the lower end in FIGS. 1 and 2) is the outer surface of the container 150. It is comprised so that it may contact.

  On the other hand, in the funnel 200 according to the present embodiment, the stand 103 a has such a length that the tip does not contact the outer surface of the container 150 when the spout 102 is inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150. It is comprised as what has.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3, since the tip of the stand 103a does not contact the outer surface of the container 150, the stand 103a is placed on the outer surface of the container 150 when the spout 102 is inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150. Do not stand.

  For this reason, the funnel 200 may be inclined with respect to the insertion hole 151 of the container 150.

  However, even if the funnel 200 is inclined with respect to the insertion hole 151 of the container 150, the stand 103a is formed so as to surround the insertion hole 151 when the spout 102 is inserted into the insertion hole 151. When the funnel 200 is inclined to some extent, the stand 103a hits the outer wall of the insertion hole 151. For this reason, the degree of inclination of the funnel 200 is extremely small as compared with the conventional funnel. For this reason, even if the funnel 200 is tilted, the fluid stored in the water storage unit 101 can be prevented from flowing out of the water storage unit 101.

  Thus, according to the funnel 200 according to the present embodiment, the funnel 200 has a function of preventing the inclination of the funnel as compared with the funnel 100 according to the first embodiment, but is sufficiently resistant to use. Can be stably supported with respect to the container 150.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 4 is a partial longitudinal sectional view of the funnel 300 and the container 150 when the funnel 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention is used.

  The funnel 300 according to this embodiment is additionally provided with a waterproof seal 301 as compared with the funnel 100 according to the first embodiment. Except for this point, the funnel 300 according to the present embodiment has the same structure as the funnel 100 according to the first embodiment. For this reason, about the same component as the funnel 100 concerning 1st embodiment, it shows using the same referential mark.

  The waterproof seal 301 is made of a flexible material such as silicon rubber and has a ring shape.

  The waterproof seal 301 is attached on the outer peripheral surface 101 of the water storage unit 101 at a position where the insertion hole 151 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the water storage unit 101 when the spout 102 is inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the spout 102 of the funnel 300 according to this embodiment is inserted into the insertion hole 151 of the container 150, the outer peripheral surface of the water storage unit 101 and the insertion hole 151 are inserted through the waterproof seal 301. Is sealed.

  The funnel 300 according to this embodiment has the following effects.

  When a fluid is poured into the water storage part 101 of the funnel 300 according to the present embodiment and injected into the container 150 through the spout 102, the fluid is not noticed that the container 150 is filled with the fluid. May continue to be injected. In this case, although the fluid does not completely enter the container 150, since the space between the outer peripheral surface of the water storage unit 101 and the insertion hole 151 of the container 150 is sealed with the waterproof seal 301, the fluid is inserted into the outer peripheral surface of the water storage unit 101. There is no leakage from between the holes 151, and surplus fluid is accumulated in the water reservoir 101.

  For this reason, it turns out that the container 150 is already filled with the fluid. In such a case, the excess fluid accumulated in the water storage unit 101 is drained (for example, using a device such as a suction pump), so that the fluid is not leaked outside the funnel 300 and the container 150 Can be filled with fluid.

  In the funnel 300 according to this embodiment, the waterproof seal 301 is applied to the funnel 100 according to the first embodiment, but the waterproof seal 301 is applied to the funnel 200 according to the second embodiment. It is also possible.
