Improvements in or connected with Funnels.
I, ALBERT OCTAVIUS HASLEWOOD, of Buxton, Derbyshire, Surgeon, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improvements in or connected with funnels, the object
being a special arrangement or construction of same, said improved funnel being
particularly designed for use in connection with "An appliance for use in filling
bottles and for like purposes," described in the Specification of my Letters Patent
No. 22525 A.D. 1894.
According to my invention the funnel which may be made of any suitable
material and in any required size, is made or formed with a neck or stem consider-
ably longer in proportion to its size than has hitherto been the case, so as to enable
it, (when used in connection with the device described in my Patent No. 22525
above referred to), to be used for filling a small bottle, say a 2 ounce for instance,
at the same time allowing it to be used for filling bottles of larger size, whereas
with the ordinary funnel, when used in connection with iny patented device above
referred to, if it is of a couvenient size for filling a 16 ounce bottle, the stem of
same is not sufficiently long to reach down and enter the neck of a smaller bottle,
it being then necessary to raise the smaller bottle by hand or upon suitable supports
60 ns to reach the end of the funnel or to use a device of a correspondingly small
size.

1, ALBERT OCTAVIUS HASLEWOOD, of Buxton, Derbyshire, Surgeon, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
My invention relates to improvements in funnels, the object being a special
arrangement or construction of same, said funnel being particularly designed for
use in connection with "An appliance for use in filling bottles and for like
purposes," described in the Specification of my Letters Patent No. 22525 A.D.
1894.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will now proceed to
describe same with reference to the accompanying drawing which illustrates the
improved funnel in side elevation, shown in connection with the "Appliance for

page_text: use in filling bottles and for like purposes," herein before referral to, and which is
indicated by dotted lines.
According to my invention the funnel which may be of any suitable inaterial,
and of any required size is made or formed with a neck or stem considerably
longer in proportion to its size, than has hitherto been the case, so as to enable it,
when used in connection with the device described in my former Patent No. 22525,
which is indicated in dotted lines in the drawing, to be used for filling a small
bottle, say a 2 oz. for instance, while at the same time it is suitable for uso in filling
bottles of larger sizes, wherens with the ordinary funnel, when used in connection
with my patented device hereinbefore referred to, if it is of convenient size for
filling 16 oz. bottle, the stern of same is not of sufficient length to reach down
and enter the neck of a smaller bottle, it being thus necessary to raise the smaller
bottle by hand or to employ suitable supports for same, or to employ a funnel
supporting device of smaller size.
The funnel is further preferably provided with a perpendicular rim which
allows of the said funnel holding a considerably increased quantity of liquid.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The new or improved funnel for use in connection with the device described in
my former Letters Patent No. 22525 A.D. 1894, substantially as herein described
and shown, and for the purposes specified.
