ABSTRACT:
A funnel and a sleeve for covering all or substantially all of the funnel's pouring spout. The funnel includes a progressively narrowing top portion having a broad intake end and a narrow discharge end with a pouring spout connected thereto. The sleeve is adapted to receive the pouring spout and preferably securely engages the narrow discharge end of the funnel's top portion. Once the pouring spout is received inside the sleeve, the interior and exterior surface areas of the spout are protected from contamination. Preferably, the funnel further comprises a cap for securely engaging and covering the broad intake end of the funnel. This cap serves to keep contaminants out of the internal surface areas of the progressively narrowing portion of the funnel. For added protection, the sleeve can further comprise a netting material or bag which is mounted circumferentially around the sleeve and has dimensions sufficiently large enough that netting material or bag can be drawn over and around the progressively narrowing top portion to thereby protect the top portion from contaminants. This way, both the inside and outside surface areas of the funnel are protected from contaminants.
