Flexible funnel

A foldable funnel comprising:

• a bowl comprising a continuous outer wall having a top edge defining an opening to an interior space, the continuous outer wall including at least two spaced apart bowl living hinges defining a front portion, a back portion, and/or a right portion and a left portion;
• a first flange extending from the top edge proximate the back portion, the first flange having a width and a length;
• a stem extending from the bowl, the stem having a through bore in fluid communication with the interior space wherein a cross-sectional area of the through bore is less than a cross-sectional area of the opening;
• wherein the bowl is configured to be positioned into a first position wherein the bowl is configured to transfer a fluid from the bowl through the opening and the interior space and into the through bore in the stem, and the bowl is configured to be positioned into a second position wherein the left and right portions of the bowl are folded onto themselves such that the front and back portions are proximate each other by moving the portions of the bowl about at least four spaced apart bowl living hinges into a compact configuration wherein the first flange having the length and the width is positioned over the opening of the bowl in the compact configuration to minimize the accumulation of dirt and grime in the bowl after use;
• and
• further comprising a second flange extending from the top edge proximate the front portion that is opposite the first flange, the second flange comprising a coped indent configured to accept a surface of the stem when the funnel is in the second position.

A foldable funnel comprising:

• a bowl comprising a continuous outer wall having a top edge defining an opening to an interior space, the continuous outer wall comprising at least four spaced apart bowl living hinges defining a left front portion, a right front portion, a left back portion and a right back portion;
• a flange extending from the top edge proximate the left and right back portions, the flange having a width and a length;
• and
• a stem extending from the bowl, the stem having a through bore in fluid communication with the interior space wherein a cross-sectional area of the through bore is less than a cross-sectional area of the opening;
• wherein the bowl is configured to be positioned into a first position wherein the bowl is configured to transfer a fluid from the bowl through the opening and the interior space and into the through bore in the stem, and the bowl is configured to be positioned into a second position wherein the left and right front portions are moved proximate the left and right back portions by flexing the bowl about the living bowl hinges to configure the funnel into a compact configuration wherein the flange having the length and the width is positioned over the opening of the bowl in the compact configuration to minimize the accumulation of dirt and grime in the bowl after use;
• wherein at least two spaced apart bowl living hinges extend from proximate the top edge of the bowl to proximate a juncture of the bowl and the stem.
