20090188583 | Universal Funnel Adapter - An adapter installs on a receiving container aperture to provide a stable base for supporting a common funnel used for transfer of material into the receiving container. Installation on the receiving container aperture is quick and stable by moving the edges of an aperture engagement portion together to allow it to fit inside the receiving container aperture, and then moving the aperture engagement portion edges apart so the outer surface of the aperture engagement portion contacts the inside diameter of the aperture. A spring or a locking mechanism force exerts a continuous outward force to maintain the adapter in the receiving container aperture. The funnel is then supported by holder rings attached to the aperture engagement portion inner surface that are engaged by the funnel stem. The rings are smaller diameter towards the lower part of the fingers to correspond to the funnel stem taper. The adapter thus provides hands-free use of the funnel. | 07-30-2009 |
20090218009 | FUEL FILLING DEVICE - A fuel filling device that includes, but is not limited to a filling head and a filling pipe disposed between fuel tank and filling head, has a further guiding tube having a front end viewed in the direction of insertion and a rear end viewed in the direction of insertion, which is disposed inside the filling pipe, and the front end is disposed directly below the filling head. | 09-03-2009 |
20090308494 | HYDRATION STATION - An improved hydration station comprises a wall mounted unit including a stationary lower body panel coupled to a drain, and a hinged upper body panel carrying a nozzle subassembly for dispensing water into a recess alcove defined cooperatively by the lower and upper body panels in response to user-insertion of a water-receiving receptacle into the alcove. The preferred wall unit includes a non-contact sensor for controlling water dispensing flow, and a preferred nozzle assembly includes at least one component having an antimicrobial additive. A preferred control timer automatically dispenses water in the event that the sensor does not detect a user-inserted receptable within a predetermined time interval, such as 24 hours. In addition, in a preferred form, lights on the unit are energized at one level during water dispensing, and at a second level when water is not being dispensed. | 12-17-2009 |
20120024423 | MEDICAMENT FILLING MACHINE - This invention aims at providing a medicine filling device which can supply the vial container in a smooth manner without getting caught in the vial supply means designed to supply the empty vial container, before filling the drug. The supply means | 02-02-2012 |
20120291917 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR DIRECTING FLUID FLOW - Exemplary embodiments include method, systems and apparatuses for directing fluid flow. One such exemplary embodiment includes an apparatus that can have a ramp; a first support forming a left wall of the ramp; a second support forming a second wall of the ramp; and a bracket coupled to the ramp at a lower edge, to the first support along a lower, vertical wall and to the second support along a lower, vertical wall. | 11-22-2012 |
20140014232 | MOLDABLE FUNNEL - A moldable funnel is provided. A plurality of through holes are evenly arranged in a hand-moldable sheet, and at least parts of the through holes are unopened at a perimeter edge of the hand-moldable sheet. The hand-moldable sheet has shape-retention characteristics to retain the moldable funnel in a specific shape into which it is molded. Two covering layers at least cover two corresponding surfaces of the hand-moldable sheet respectively and are connected to each other via at least parts of the through holes. Whereby, the moldable funnel can be molded in a specific shape suitable for a specific space, so as to provide advantageous effects of adding liquid easily, conveniently, safely and rapidly, and the moldable funnel is light in weight, convenient for storage and space-saving. | 01-16-2014 |
20140150928 | Small Bag Funnel - This apparatus is a funnel, which is used to assist in the transfer of solid foods, sauces, snacks, cereals, and craft items-such as beads, etc. into receptacles, particularly, small, sandwich type storage bags, larger food-freezer type storage bags, paper bags, etc. The funnel is comprised of a circular wide mouth opening at one end and tapers to a slightly smaller opening at the other end. It may be manufactured in various sizes, designed to accommodate different bag sizes. Once inserted into the bag, it will provide support to the bag and prevent the bag from collapsing upon the filling of the Small Bag Funnel. Also incorporated into the side of the Small Bag Funnel are the optional measuring indicators which can represent various measured quantities, such as portions of a cup, pint, gallon, etc., depending on the size of the funnel. | 06-05-2014 |
