  • Publication number: 20120160369
    Abstract: The Vent & Drain provides an improved funnel with a built-in air vent. The invention includes a small air vent along one entire side of the funnel. The included air vent provides an escape for air during pouring which creates a smoother flow of the liquid. The improved flow will prevent liquid from erupting, stop splashes, spills, and or bubbling which will shorten the time it would normally take to pour a liquid. The Vent & Drain also promotes a cleaner environment due to less spillage of liquid.
