  • Patent number: 4347878
    Abstract: A funnel has a relatively wide-mouthed bowl for receiving a liquid such as gasoline or the like. The bowl communicates the liquid for gravity flow downwardly through an angularly disposed central section, and further through a relatively small-mouthed spout sized for reception into a suitable receptacle, such as the filler pipe of an automotive vehicle fuel tank. The central section is formed to define a wedge-shaped configuration for binding reception partially into the receptacle, and further to define a flow path for venting air from the receptacle while the receptacle is being filled with the liquid.
