"FuMe" - Fu stands for funnel- Me stands for measurer

Summary:
My invention is a measuring cup and funnel in 1. FuMe is operated by a spring loaded valve connected to the handle. Once trigger is squeezed, valve will open allowing the liquid or mass to fall down the funnel and into the specific container to be used.

Full Description:
My idea is a funnel and measuring cup in 1. The measuring cup and funnel are separated by a semi circular valve which is spring loaded from the handle (squeeze the handle and the semi circular valve will open).

This is a device which enables who ever is using it to be able to perform accurate measuring of liquid substance such as water, milk and chicken or beef stock. Flour, rice and other general cooking ingrediants can also be measured using FuMe.

FuMe is for the use of professional chiefs, bakers and house cooks. Retail outlets such as k-mart, Big W, Target, Woolworths, House and Robbins Kitchen stores will be able to sell this invention. (I have personally gone into these stores looking for something similar but i could not find any products that even come close).

I was given the opportunity to get my idea into the market but could not come up with the money that these companies were asking of me.

The advantages of my invention are as follows:
- Has very accurate measuring for recipes
- Has easy to read measuring levels on the inside and outside
- Has a comfortable gripped handle
- Is stainless steel which prevents rust

This invention is set to make you millions of dollars in the long run.

Problem this idea/invention addresses:
The problem that my idea/invention addresses is that it will allow accurate measuring of a liquid substance for the use by chiefs and your average house cooker.

Auxiliary products or services for sale:
I have been informed that FuMe could sell for $17.95. If 150,000 were sold in the first year that would bring in $2, 692, 500. The cost to make or manufacture my idea would be close to $11.00 per unit. $17.95- $11.00= $6.95 profit for each unit sold. $6.95 x 150,000= $1, 042, 500. My asking price is $24, 700 or $13,000 with a 2 1/2 year patient of 12% per unit sold from the $6.95. 12% of $6.95= $0.57cents per unit sold. Over 2.5 years this is equivalent to $21, 736. Prices are not set rates just estimation. Prices are subject to discussion. Thanks
