Abstract: An adapter installs on a receiving container aperture to provide a stable base for supporting a common funnel used for transfer of material into the receiving container. Installation on the receiving container aperture is quick and stable by moving the edges of an aperture engagement portion together to allow it to fit inside the receiving container aperture, and then moving the aperture engagement portion edges apart so the outer surface of the aperture engagement portion contacts the inside diameter of the aperture. A spring or a locking mechanism force exerts a continuous outward force to maintain the adapter in the receiving container aperture. The funnel is then supported by holder rings attached to the aperture engagement portion inner surface that are engaged by the funnel stem. The rings are smaller diameter towards the lower part of the fingers to correspond to the funnel stem taper. The adapter thus provides hands-free use of the funnel.

Abstract: An ocular device to facilitate the positioning and insertion of an object onto a subject's eyes having a base comprising a mouthpiece and at least one support coupled to the base. The support is displaced at a distance measured from the mouthpiece to the area in front of the center of the subject's eye when the mouthpiece is placed between the subject's teeth. The support is configured to releasably retain the object, such as a contact lens. The ocular device may further be provided with receptacle heads that accommodate medication to be administered to the subject's eyes.
