Device for the transfer of liquids

Abstract

A funnel, shaped like a tube, to aid transferring liquids from one vessel to another. Universal bung fittings or adaptor connections to fit the funnel and to fit a variety of containers. Calibrations on a transparent funnel. Mechanical or electronic volume flow counters to measure the quantity transferred. Hermetically sealed connection between the liquid container and the entrance to the tube. Removable hermetically sealable cap on base of funnel to catch drips.

1 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids comprising,
 a. a tube with a thread on the upper extremity of the said tube, where the said thread hermetically fits the threaded aperture of a liquid container,   b. a numerator that measures the amount of liquid passing through the said tube,   c. a means to control the flow of the said liquid with a moveable stopper inside the said tube,   d. a removable cap that covers the lower extremity of the said tube, where the said cap hermetically fits onto the said tube extremity.   
   
   
       2 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of adaptors where one side of each said adaptor fits the thread on the said tube and the other side of each said adaptor is a threaded portion fitting a threaded spout of a liquid container, each said adaptor fitting a different sized said container. 
   
   
       3 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a movable stopper to control the flow of liquid through the said tube where the said stopper is substantially shaped and sized the shape and size of the inner circumference of the said tube. 
   
   
       4 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the said tube is calibrated. 
   
   
       5 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claim 1  wherein the said numerator indicates the volume of said liquid that passes through the said tube. 
   
   
       6 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claim 5  wherein the said measurement and indication is mechanical. 
   
   
       7 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claim 5  wherein the said measurement and indication is electrical. 
   
   
       8 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids comprising,
 a. a tube to connect between the container holding the liquid to be poured,   b. a universal bored bung at one end of the said tube to fit the spout of containers of liquid,   c. at the distal end of the said tube a universal bored bung to fit the spout of recipient containers,   d. a means to start and stop the flow of the said liquid in the said tube by unblocking and blocking the said tube,   e. a numerator to measure and display the volume of said liquid that has passed by the said numerator measuring device, and   f. a leak-proof removable cap attached to the open end of the said tube to prevent undesired dripping of the said liquids from the said tube.   
   
   
       9 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claims 1  and  8  wherein the said tube is transparent. 
   
   
       10 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claim 8  wherein said numerator display is an analog display. 
   
   
       11 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claim 8  wherein said numerator display is a digital display. 
   
   
       12 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids comprising,
 a. a container to hold the liquid to be poured with an opening in the base of the said container,   b. a hollow rod,   c. a tube attached at one end to the base of the said container and passing through the said stick to the extremity of the said rod,   d. a means of measuring the amount of liquid passing through the said tube.   
   
   
       13 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claim 1 ,  8  and  12  further comprising a clip attached to the said tube to hold the said tube in the desired position and to control the opening and closing of the said tube and thereby controlling the flow and cessation of flow of liquids through the said tube. 
   
   
       14 . A tube shaped funnel for the transfer of liquids as claimed in  claims 1 ,  8  and  12  where the said tube is in spiral form.
