    Abstract: Disclosed is a funnel including a funnel body extending between a mouth and an exit orifice and a mounting bracket for clamping the funnel body to the pour spout of a safety canister. To adjust the positioning of the funnel body with respect to the pour spout, the funnel body and mounting bracket are pivotally connected. In an embodiment, the funnel body and mounting bracket are made of plastic and pivotally connected together by a living hinge. In another aspect of the invention, to reducing splashing and spillage, the funnel body includes a conical-shaped body and a splash bowl or scupper portion disposed through and extending from the conical-shaped body. The scupper is shaped to direct fluid from the pour spout away from the mouth and toward the orifice exit.
