Abstract
The invention resides in fluid transfer device having an inverted funnel at its top and a conically downwardly tapered funnel at its bottom with a collecting portion formed about generally its midspan. The upper inverted funnel has a longitudinal slot formed therewithin and an opening is formed in the collecting portion allowing fluid to pass between the upper container and the lowermost container and the slot allows the upper inverted funnel to be circumferentially compressed against the interior surface of a container so as to act as a fluid conduit therebetween.
Claims17
A material transfer device comprising:
- a first funnel member having an inverted shape tapering outwardly along a central axis from a top end thereof to a base end;
- a second funnel member tapering inwardly along said central axis from a base end to a lower depending end;
- a collecting portion connected with the first and second funnel portions at the bases thereof;
- said first funnel portion having a means for causing it to be circumferentially displaceable so as to exert a radial bias against the inner surface of a first container in which the first funnel portion is inserted, and said second funnel member having a means for wedging it into an opening in a second container which is disposed uptight.
A fluidic transfer device having a central axis comprising:
- a inverted top funnel portion defined by a tip and a base, said base having a wider diameter than the diameter of said tip;
- a lower funnel portion defined by a base and a tip with the base of the lower funnel portion being wider than the lower funnel portion at said tip thereof;
- a collecting portion disposed annularly about said central axis and defined by a base plate extending transversely to the central axis and having a through opening communicating with each of said upper and lower funnel members;
- and
- wherein said upper and lower funnel portions are connected to said base plate at the bases thereof.
