described, the can 30 will be caused to lie in an in-.
clined position with the sheared hole 32 extend ing downwardly when said can is forced back as tar as permitted, it being understood that the spout will normally be substantially vertical when in use. It will thus be seen that the entire contents of the can will be discharged throughthe opening 32 into the funnel. .A trough-like handle member 33 having an end aperture 83a is at taehed to the outside of the bowl l0 and projects.
outwardly substantially in the same plane of the upper edge oi'said bowl toserve as a support'tor the emptying can. 7 W
The size oi the opening 82 sheared in the can 30 may be varied byadiusting the positionoi the knife l6 relative to the spout II, which adjustment may be readily accomplished merely by loosening thescrews 22 and moving the knife along the spoutas desired. If any of oil or other. fluid contents of the can spills over outside of the spout during thepouring operation, it will be caught in the bowllli oi the tunnel and drained back into the spout I! through a plurali'ty of holes 34 provided in said spout l3 adjacent thebottorn oi the bowl Ill. (See Fig. 1.)
In case it is desired to conduct the contents of the can to a point difficult to reach bythe straight spout i3, such as the filler pipe ll 0! an automobilecrank case, provision is made'oi' a flexible metal tube. generally indicated by the numeral 36 which may be detachably titted to the pouring end of: said spout II. The tube 38 is preferably made of a section of spirally wound metalhose 31, andasshown in' Fig. 1, has its lower end providedwith a ring-shaped nozzle 38. In the flrst form shown in Figs. 1 and 3 the upper end of the tube 36 is preierably'flttedinte an enlarged socket 39 formed in the adjacent end oi a tubular attachingicollar 40. The collar 44 is adapted to slip over the lower-'end'oi the spout i4 and is detachably locked thereupon by means oi an inwardly projecting knob 4| positioned on the interior of saidcollar 4i adiacent the upper edge thereof, said knob being adapted toflt in a bayonet slot '42 iormed in the lower end or said spout t3.
Inorder to retain the flexible ,tubing' II with its end bent at any desired angle sofas to prevent dripping after the can 30 has beenemptied'and the tunnel has been removed from the fllier pipe 35, provisionis made of a flexible tie member generally indicated by the numeral 42and including va section of "saiety chain 43, a helical expansion sprin .44. and a pair of "end pipe-engaging split rings '45 and 48. The ring 45 is connected to the" spring 44 and is made of round stock having semii-circular ends 41 connected by a radially onset loop 48 to which the adjacent eye or the spring 44 is attached. The semi-circular ends 41 arev adapted to have swiveling engagement in an arcuate groove 48 surrounding the intermediate portion of the collar". y
' The split ring 48 on the opposite end of the chain '42 is preferably made of square stock and is formed in a shape similar to the ring 4!, i. e., having semi-circular clamping ends 40 connected by a radially oi'iset loop l0 adapted to be joined to the end of the chain 43. The end link 5i 0! the chain 43 which engages the loop 50 is soldered or otherwise held rigidly in place so as to lie in the same plane as the ring 46. By means of this construction, the gripping efiect of the sharp interior corner of the square stock of the ring 46 upon the flexible tubing 31 is enhanced;
In order to support the funnel when not in use, a D-ring 52 is pivotally attached to the outside surface of the funnel bowl it! by means of a vertical bail lug 53 spot welded thereto. (See Fig. 1.) The tunnel-may then be hung upon a pro jection such as a nail 54 by means'of the 'D-ring 52 in the manner as. shown in Fig. 9, inwhich casethe flexible pipe 31 is bent upwardly as shown and retained in such position by sliding the flexible tie member ,42' to the position shown, thus catching'the residual liquid draining from the tunnel and preventing it from becoming lost.
The tunnel may also be supported as shown in Fig. 10, by hanging it upon anail 55 engaging in the aperture 33a provided in the outer end of the bowl handle 33. I The flexible tube 36 spout i3, said D-ring 52 is so positioned with re-- spect to'the center of gravity of the funnel that the axis of the spout l3 will lie-substantially in a horizontal plane so that any liquid in the funnel will be caught in that segment of the bowl which is subtended bythe dot and dash line 51 in Fig. l.
The modified form of collar it for attaching the flexible pipe 36 to the end of the spout I! as shown in Fig. 6 is similar in all respects to the collar 4|! 0! the first form, with the exception-that the upper part of the collar is "provided with an interior thread 59 which is adapted to threadedly engage upon a pair of staggered outwardly proiecting nubs 60 positioned upon the spout l3 adiacent thepouring'end thereof.
While there have been disclosed in this'speciflcation two forms in which the invention may be embodied, it is to be understood that these iorms'are shown for the purpose of illustration only, and that the invention is not to be limited to the specific disclosures} but'may be modified and embodied in various other forms without departing irom' its spirit. In short, the invention includes all the modifications and embodiments coming within the scope'oi the following claims.
