ABSTRACT:
A funnel-adapter that allows one to fill up a large pitcher or jug directly from the ice or water dispensing unit of a conventional water/ice dispenser unit of a refrigerator. The funnel-adapter has a main, curved-shaped, hollow main frame that is opened at its top and at its bottom. The curvature of the adapter is such that the horizontal lower open end is offset from the horizontal, upper open end, so that when the upper open end is inserted into a water/ice dispenser of a refrigerator and pushed against one of the actuator switches for causing the dispensing of ice or water, the lower open end will be horizontally spaced outwardly of the air space of the water/ice dispenser, so that a large pitcher or container, to be filled with water or ice, may be located directly under the lower open end for funneling the dispensed water or ice into the interior volume of the pitcher or container.
