This is the world's First Funnel with a cap on top and bottom to keep your funnels clean after each use. How do we know? We patented it!
Why was this such an innovation 22 years ago when farmer/inventor Hoyt Pattison came up with the novel concept? The caps are such a logical addition, one would think that caps would have been a part of funnels for a very long time. Like wheels on suitcases, some things just require that spark of imagination - that spark that solves a problem that we have all struggled with but just never took the time to come up with a solution! Just like the wheels on a suitcase, once you've used one on a long trip, try going back to lugging around a suitcase without wheels! No Way, No How! Until you, yourself, made the change, you had no idea what a convenience this simple yet absolutely essential innovation meant to you and your fellow travelers.
Same thing with a Clean Funnel! Once you've used a Clean Funnel with its caps on the top and bottom, you won't want to go back to a plain old funnel - a funnel that, when set down after you use it, gets bits of leaves, dirt, sand and other types of debris down into the
main body of the funnel and, worse, down into the spout. No Way, No How! Once you get all that grit and grime in there, you know you don't have any choice but to get a rag and maybe a screwdriver or long nail or wire to run the rag down through the spout to clean it out. Or, you can run a solvent through it and then have to dispose of the solvent in a proper way. Sure, you can do it and it will be clean, but why go through the hassle if you don't have to?! With a cap on the top and bottom of your funnel, you don't have to worry about it.
Besides keeping your funnel clean, you get the added (and essential) advantage of keeping your work area clean and safe. If you've worked around equipment for very long, you know what a hassle it can be when you drip oil or other fluids from your funnel - let alone how dangerous it can be to yourself and others. An oil slick is
just inviting a fall with its attendant injuries and possible liabilities. Simply put the caps back on after filling your equipment, bottle, barrel or what ever, set the funnel aside and go about your business, secure in the knowledge that next time you need your funnel, it will be clean and ready to go for your next project. And your work area will remain clean and safe as well.
Hoyt Pattison, inventor of the Clean Funnel, is a dry land farmer from Clovis, New Mexico. He grew up in the farming business and continues to farm even now because it's his passion. He loves to be out in the fresh, clean New Mexican air continuing the family tradition. I guess you could say it's in his blood. Hoyt, who owns several pieces of valuable farm equipment, knows the importance of maintaing that valuable equipment by changing out all the different oils and fluids, keeping it in top operating condition. As they say, Necessity is the Mother of Invention. And it's true! With all that equipment and all the work he had to do to keep up with it all, Hoyt is one of those guys who is always looking for a better, more efficient way to do things - to just plain work smarter. I guess you could say that good old common sense reared up and smacked him between the ears one day when he went to change his tractor oil. First thing he had to do was clean out an old, grimy funnel. This time, the funnel was worse than usual. The previous oil that he had used was transmission oil - a heavier weight oil than the motor oil - and it had gotten sand embedded in it. It took a bit longer than usual to clean out and he had a heck of a time getting all the grit completely out of the spout. That's when he had his epiphany - his "light bulb" moment. If he had just had a way to cap off the funnel, he wouldn't have to be dealing with the hassle of cleaning out his funnel. The time required to clean the funnel could be better spent doing more important work. Most important of all, Hoyt knew that he just couldn't take a chance on letting any grit or dirt get into the engines, transmissions or hydraulic lines of his valuable equipment. Just a speck of sand can spell disaster to this high priced, absolutely necessary equipment. With crops to plant, holes to dig, roads to grade and wood to cut, there just isn't time for down time. Broken equipment means not only down time but lost productivity and lost wages. What's more, any excess fluid could just be saved inside the funnel until next time, saving even more valuable time.
Hoyt got down to figuring out just how to best make the funnel and how to be able to put a cap on the top and bottom. Just like any inventor, he made several prototypes, adjusting the top and bottom openings and experimenting with different lengths. Because of all the different types of equipment on just his farm, Hoyt realized that one size doesn't fit all, therefore he would design and fabricate a variety of funnels to fit many different applications. Hoyt gave several of the funnels flexible spouts to be able to reach those hard to get to filler ports that weren't designed with the end user in mind. Hoyt was able to come up with 10 different models to fit most any need around the home or ranch that a person might have. The caps, if lost, can be replaced by standard caps found around the house, ranch or place of business. No need to special order caps.

Now that our patent has run out - It's only good for 20 years - Our funnels are so well respected by people who demand quality tools that other companies are now copying our funnels and having them made in China (We all know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!) We continue to make our funnels right here in the U.S.A. We know that we could be making them in China but we believe in Made in America. And hey, just because these knock-offs are being made in China, don't expect to see a reduction in the price! In most cases, these funnels are being sold for even more than ours... Go figure! We continue to make a high quality funnel that your customers will be happy with for years. The body of our funnel is made from high density polyethylene (HDPE) and the caps are made from polypropylene (PP). The design of the funnel makes them strong. They are meant to last and will be a part of your tool collection for a long time. Our mainstay is repeat business. That tells us that we are doing it right!
