Abstract: A funnel has a large water-receiving end to which is fluidically attached a long spout and a handle. The spout extends at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the water-receiving end. The spout has an outlet port that is inserted into soil adjacent to a tree and water poured into the water-receiving end will flow into the soil via the spout.

Abstract: A funnel assembly to be mounted on a fluid intake pipe such as for a vehicle engine includes a funnel body connected to a valve that is in communication with the intake pipe. The funnel body is moveable between an operative position in which the valve is opened for receiving a fluid flow and directing the flow into the fluid intake pipe, and a non-operative position for closing the valve.

Abstract: A funnel cap device for a fluid container includes a funnel-shaped member having a passage therethrough extending between a wide end and a narrow end thereof, and a cap member attached to the funnel-shaped member for selectively opening and closing the narrow end of the passage. A hub portion extends from the narrow end of the funnel-shaped member, the cap member being slidable on the hub portion between open and closed positions. The cap member and hub portion include a cooperating aperture and seal tab which mutually engage in the closed position to prevent fluid flow. The funnel cap device is attachable to a fluid container having a spout on one end. The funnel-shaped member includes an intermediate portion having a thread pattern on an inner surface for engaging similar threads on the spout in an upright orientation where the funnel-shaped member engages the neck of the container.

Abstract: A radiator funnel and adapter to prevent spillage comprises a funnel having a fluid receiving body and a spout through which fluid is dispensed; an adapter having a tubular member, a sealing flange, a flexible seal member, and a cap abutment member; a cap having a hole for receiving the top end of the tubular member and the spout which is engageably and sealingly inserted in the tubular member; and a stopper means having a stem, a plug portion at one end of the stem, and a handle at the other end to plug the bore through the spout. The adapter fits in the fill opening of the radiator and the cap fastens over the fill opening of the radiator and urges the flexible seal member and the sealing flange against the recessed ledge in the fill opening to substantially provide a seal between the adapter and the fill opening so that as fluid is poured into the radiator, the fluid won't spill out of radiator as it commonly bubbles up through the fill opening of the radiator.
