Abstract

A lidded funnel device provides a funnel having an enclosable interior space. The device includes a funnel having a stem section extending from a mouth section. An upper edge of the mouth section defines a broad opening into the funnel. The stem section has a polygonal exterior surface. An end cap is engageable to the stem section to cover and seal an open end of the stem section. Each of a plurality of pins is coupled to the mouth section. Each of a plurality of clips extends from a lid. The clips are removably engageable to the pins wherein the lid is pivotally coupled to the funnel. The lid is shaped complementary to the upper edge of the mouth section to cover the broad opening into the funnel when the lid is in a closed position.
