Abstract
An elastic tube having at least one end formed as a rolled elastic ring. The opposite end of the tube may be fashioned with a rolled elastic ring or may hang free depending on the perceived usage. The tube is fabricated from a thin latex material having a stretchability of up to 1,000%. The tube is tapered from top to bottom so as to form an unobstructed, funnel-shaped passage. The wall of the tube is fluid-impervious so that liquids can flow there through without leaking. The rolled elastic end of the tube is adapted for frictional attachment to the outlet of a liquid-filled container. The other end of the tube may be frictionally attached to the inlet of a second container to be filled. Alternatively, the other end of the tube may hang freely within the second container.
Claims11
An elastic funnel for conducting viscous liquids from a first container into a second container comprising;
- an elongate tubular member having a continuous fluid-impervious wall, said member having an open first end and an open second end;
- an unobstructed passageway extending through said tubular member from said first end to said second end;
- a first elastic ring defining said first end of said tubular member;
- and
- a second elastic ring defining said second end of said tubular member.
An elastic funnel for conducting viscous liquids from a first container into a second container comprising;
- an elongate tubular member having a continuous fluid-impervious wall, a length of two and one-half inches, an open first end and an open second end;
- an unobstructed passageway extending through said tubular member from said first end to said second end;
- said open first end having a diameter of approximately one and three-sixteenths inches;
- said open second end having a diameter of approximately one inch;
- and
- a rolled elastic ring defining said first end of said tubular member;
- said tubular member being fabricated from latex material having a stretchability factor of up 1,000%.
