Drink bottle funnel

A drink bottle funnel for attaching securely to a drink bottle to facilitate pouring flavoring into the drink bottle includes a main portion formed by a circumferential wall having a top opening and a bottom opening. A tubular connection portion extends from the main portion around the bottom opening. An interior surface of the connection portion has interior surface threads. Thus, the connection portion is designed for threadably engaging the threaded neck of a drink bottle.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

1. Field of the Disclosure

The disclosure relates to funnels and more particularly pertains to a new funnel for attaching securely to a drink bottle to facilitate pouring flavoring into the drink bottle.

2. Summary of the Disclosure

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a main portion formed by a circumferential wall having a top opening and a bottom opening. A tubular connection portion extends from the main portion around the bottom opening. An interior surface of the connection portion has interior surface threads. Thus, the connection portion is designed for threadably engaging the threaded neck of a drink bottle.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 6, the drink bottle funnel10generally comprises a main portion12formed by a circumferential wall14having a top opening16and a bottom opening18. A tubular connection portion20extends from the main portion12around the bottom opening18. An interior surface22of the connection portion20has interior surface threads24. Thus, the connection portion20is designed for threadably engaging a threaded neck26of a drink bottle28. An exterior surface30of the connection portion20has exterior surface threads32. A cap member34has cap threads36for engaging the exterior surface threads32.

The circumferential wall14is curved extending from the bottom opening18to the top opening16. The top opening16and the bottom opening18are circular. The bottom opening18is smaller in diameter than the top opening16. The top opening16has a diameter of 2.5 inches. The connection portion20and the main portion12have a combined height of 2 inches.

The interior surface threads24extend along a full length of the connection portion20such that the connection portion20is designed for engaging the threaded neck26of the drink bottle28when the connection portion20is in an inverted position such that the main portion12envelops an upper portion40of the drink bottle28when the connection portion20is engaged to the threaded neck26of the drink bottle28.

The length of the connection portion20is such that the cap member34abuts a top surface42of the threaded neck26of the drink bottle28when the connection portion20is fully engaged to the threaded neck26and the cap member34is fully engaged to the connection portion20.

In use, the connection portion20is screwed onto the threaded neck26of the drink bottle28in an inverted position for storage. The cap member34is engaged to the connection portion20using exterior surface threads32to prevent spillage while the drink bottle funnel10is stored on the drink bottle28. The cap member34is removed, the connection portion20is disengaged from the threaded neck26and re-engaged to the threaded neck26such that the main portion12extends out from the drink bottle28. Flavoring, typically in the form of a powder, may then be poured into the drink bottle28through the main portion12with reduced likelihood of spilling the flavoring.
