Abstract:
A torch refilling assembly includes a funnel for receiving a liquid fuel. A spout is fluidly coupled to the funnel and the spout is positioned in an opening of a fuel canister of a torch to direct the liquid fuel into the fuel canister of the torch. A rest is coupled to and extends laterally away from the funnel for engage a lid of the fuel canister for storage when the fuel canister is filled with the liquid fuel. A valve is movably coupled between the funnel and the spout. The valve is selectively positioned in a closed position to inhibit the liquid fuel from flowing out of the funnel. The valve is selectively positioned in an open position to pass the liquid fuel therethrough thereby facilitating the fuel canister to be filled with the liquid fuel.

Claim (Index 13):
A torch refilling assembly being configured to selectively store and dispense a liquid fuel into a torch, said assembly comprising:\n a funnel being configured to receive a liquid fuel, said funnel having a top end, a bottom end and an outer wall extending therebetween, each of said top end and said bottom end being open wherein said top end is configured to have the liquid fuel poured therein, said outer wall tapering inwardly between said top end and said bottom end, said outer wall being comprised of a translucent material wherein said outer wall is configured to facilitate the liquid fluid to be visible therethrough, said outer wall having an outer surface, said outer surface having indicia being printed thereon, said indicia comprising lines being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said top end and said bottom end wherein said lines are configured to display a fluid volume of the liquid fuel in said funnel, said funnel having a well extending laterally therein, said well extending along a line being oriented perpendicular to a line extending through said top end and said bottom end, said well being in fluid communication with an interior of said funnel, said well being spaced from said bottom end, said well having a bounding surface; a spout being fluidly coupled to said funnel, said spout being configured to be positioned in an opening of a fuel canister of a torch thereby facilitating said spout to direct the liquid fuel into the fuel canister of the torch, said spout being positioned on said bottom end of said funnel, said spout being hollow, said spout having a distal end with respect to said bottom end, said distal end being open wherein said distal end is configured to direct the liquid fuel into the fuel canister of the torch; a rest being coupled to and extending laterally away from said funnel wherein said rest is configured to engage a lid of the fuel canister for storage when the fuel canister is filled with the liquid fuel, said rest being positioned on said outer surface of said outer wall of said funnel, said rest having a top surface, a bottom surface and a distal end with respect to said outer wall, each of said top surface and said bottom surface angling away from each other between said distal end of said rest and said outer wall, said rest having an aperture extending through said top surface and said bottom surface wherein said aperture is configured to insertably receive a wick on the lid, said aperture being positioned closer to said distal end of said rest than said outer wall of said funnel, said well having a bounding surface; and a valve being movably coupled between said funnel and said spout, said valve being selectively positioned in a closed position wherein said valve is configured to inhibit the liquid fuel from flowing out of said funnel, said valve being selectively positioned in an open position wherein said valve is configured to pass the liquid fuel therethrough thereby facilitating the fuel canister to be filled with the liquid fuel, said valve comprising: a cylinder having a first end and a second end, said cylinder being slidably positioned in said well having said first end being exposed wherein said first end is configured to be selectively manipulated, said cylinder having an aperture extending therethrough, said aperture being centrally positioned between said first end and said second end, said cylinder being selectively urged into a first position having said aperture being aligned with said bottom end of said funnel wherein said aperture is configured to pass the liquid fuel into said spout for filling the fuel canister, said cylinder being selectively positioned in a second position having said aperture being offset with said bottom end having said cylinder closing said bottom end wherein said cylinder is configured to inhibit the liquid fuel from passing into said spout, and a biasing member being positioned between said bounding surface of said well and said second end of said cylinder, said biasing member biasing said cylinder into said second position.
