Nuffle

Hand Tool that combines a funnel and a socket-wrench extension into one device. The Nuffle makes engine oil changes easier by integrating both the device used to remove oil-pan drain plugs and the device used to direct the flow of fluids draining from the engine. The Nuffle eliminates the numerous hazards of using a separate funnel and socket-wrench to perform engine oil changes in both home and commercial settings. 1. Metallic funnel device combined with a metallic hand tool device—when combined , can act as a funnel and remove fasteners (bolts)2. Hollow metallic socket wrench extension accessory used to channel draining fluids (as the shaft portion of a funnel)3. Metallic funnel device as a socket wrench accessory4. Metallic socket wrench accessory used to remove and capture fasteners in a “funnel like” device My invention is called a “Nuffle”. The Nuffle was conceived with the intent of making automobile maintenance easier; specifically it would be used to assist in the process of “changing the oil” in automobiles and other machines with engines that use motor oil. The Nuffle would serve a dual function; it would serve as a way to remove oil-pan drain plugs (similar to existing socket-wrenches) and also serve as a funnel to drain the oil. The Nuffle brings two existing devices together as one, thus making automobile maintenance easier and safer.The Nuffle is part funnel and part socket-wrench extension. The Nuffle combines the funnel and the socket wrench extension into a device that is both a tool and a socket-wrench extension. The Nuffle solves the problem of losing or misplacing the oil-pan drain plug during an engine oil change, by eliminating the need to quickly remove the oil-pan drain plug and place a funnel underneath the oil-pan drain hole. The Nuffle can do this because the tool you use you remove the oil-pan drain plug is the same tool you would use as a funnel to direct the flow of the draining engine oil to your desired location.The Nuffle was ...
