  • Patent number: 12606429
    Abstract: A one-piece molded funnel for transferring granular material or liquids into a container. The molded funnel includes a main body having an open interior to receive the material or liquid. A pouring neck extends from the main body and has a first diameter that is smaller than the open interior. A support collar is formed as part of the funnel and is designed to support the funnel on the storage container. The support collar has a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter of the pouring neck to create a receiving channel between the pouring neck and the support collar. During use of the funnel, the upper end of the storage container is received in the receiving channel and the pouring neck extends into the upper end of the storage container. The support collar can include different diameter portions or expansion gaps to accommodate different sized storage containers.
