Abstract: A collapsible funnel and a method for making a collapsible funnel is disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, the collapsible funnel may be provided with a screen for filtering fluids placed into the funnel. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a funnel is provided which includes multiple adjacent panels and a glue strip adjacent to one end, which enables the funnel to be manufactured with conventional process machines.

Abstract: A device for storing and dispensing items comprises a first item container having a main body and a tail extending from the main body, a first panel, a second panel connected to the first panel along a first fold line, and a third panel connected to the second panel along a second fold line. The second panel and the third panel defining a pocket with at least a portion of the tail being disposed in and connected to the pocket. The pocket is foldable along the first fold line to a closed position in which the main body, the third panel, the tail, and the second panel overlie the first panel, and the pocket is further foldable to an open position in which the third panel, the tail, and the second panel are angled away from the back panel.
