Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This is a funnel made of silicone rubber without a spout, which can be used to cover various pouring mouths, and it is a field that makes use of the characteristics of silicone rubber.
Background Art
[0002] It is difficult to pour into bins, small-mouthed bins, cylinders, bottles, etc. that contain various liquids, powders, and grains, and several funnels have to be prepared, which is troublesome. Therefore, it is an epoch-making funnel that can be used with just one funnel.
Disclosure of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0003] This is a funnel that utilizes the characteristics of silicone rubber and can be poured from a large diameter to a small diameter so that it can fit any one pouring mouth.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0004] There have been various funnels so far, and some funnels have the diameter described on the spout so that they can fit the pouring mouth. However, by eliminating the spout and making use of the shrinking characteristic of silicone rubber to cover the pouring mouth, it has become possible to eliminate the spout.
Effects of the Invention
[0005] It can be easily used in various ways with just one funnel, and since the spout part has been eliminated, it can be folded and stored, which is very convenient.
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0006] Even now, when filling bins, there are various pouring mouths, so when filling powder into cylinders or things into PET bottles, or when changing the liquid or the contents to be filled, several types of funnels have to be prepared, which is troublesome. This universal silicone funnel is very convenient because it can fit all pouring mouths with just one.
Example
[0007] As a result of trial production and experiments, any type of spout, large, medium, or small, has been cleared without any problems.
Industrial Applicability
[0008] This invention was devised in response to consultations from housewives who had been struggling for years and wondering if one of their long-cherished hopes could be realized, and to address such issues. It has great industrial applicability.
