Funnel attachment for a heavy machinery bucket

A funnel attachment for a heavy machinery bucket comprising:

• a funnel and one or more hydraulic pistons;
• wherein the funnel is pivotably coupled to a bucket of a loader;
• wherein the one or more hydraulic pistons pivot the funnel between a funnel lifted position and a funnel lowered position;
• wherein the funnel is pivoted to the funnel lifted position in order to fill the bucket with material;
• wherein the funnel is pivoted to the funnel lowered position to empty the bucket through the funnel;
• wherein the funnel is a hollow structure comprising a front aperture and a rear aperture;
• wherein the material is poured into the funnel from the bucket via the rear aperture and exits the funnel via the front aperture;
• wherein the funnel comprises a funnel bottom wall, a funnel left side wall, a funnel right side wall, and a funnel top wall;
• wherein the funnel left side wall comprises a funnel left side extension;
• wherein the funnel left side extension changes the orientation of the funnel left side wall such that the funnel left side wall extends rearward parallel to the left side of the bucket;
• wherein the funnel right side wall comprises a funnel right side extension;
• wherein the funnel right side extension changes the orientation of the funnel right side wall such that the funnel right side wall extends rearward parallel to the right side of the bucket;
• wherein a bucket interface pivotably couples the funnel to the bucket;
• wherein the bucket interface aligns the funnel with the bucket such that the funnel bottom wall butts against a bottom of the bucket when the funnel is in the funnel lowered position thus making the funnel an extension of the bucket.
