1. A funnel for transferring fluids from one or more source containers to a receiving container, each source container having a neck portion, the funnel comprising:
(a) a body portion for receiving the fluids comprising a sidewall, a top portion, a receiving platform, and an upper opening, the receiving platform integrally formed at and partially extending across the top portion and defining the upper opening in conjunction with the body portion sidewall, the upper opening configured to receive freely poured fluid from a source container, and the receiving platform comprising a circular aperture with a perimeter adapted to receive and hold the neck portion of the source container, wherein the source container is held securely in the inverted position;
(b) a gap integrated within the side wall merging upward with the upper opening forming a slot for inserting and seating an inverted source container and further providing an opening for receiving a freely poured fluid from a container; and
(c) a lower distribution portion operably connected to the body portion for delivering fluid to the receiving container.
2. The funnel of claim 1, wherein the circular aperture comprises a plurality of independently flexible gripping tabs positioned around the perimeter of the circular aperture, whereby the plurality of independently flexible gripping tabs flex in order to receive and grip the neck portion of the container.
3. The funnel of claim 2, further comprising a cylindrical wall that extends perpendicularly above and around the plurality of independently flexible gripping tabs, whereby the cylindrical wall assists in guiding the neck portion of the inverted source container into the plurality of independently flexible gripping tabs and provides support to the funnel.
4. The funnel of claim 3, wherein the lower distribution portion comprises an elongated tubular neck having a discharge end and an encompassing external ledge near the discharge end for gripping and catching on the internal surfaces of the receiving container.
5. The funnel of claim 1, wherein the lower distribution portion comprises an elongated tubular neck having a discharge end and an encompassing external ledge near the discharge end for gripping and catching on the internal surfaces of the receiving container.

1. A linear actuator comprising: a first mounting fixture for mounting of a rear end of the actuator, an electric motor, a transmission, at least one spindle, with a spindle nut, where the electric motor through the transmission drives the spindle, so that the rotationally secured spindle nut displaces itself back and forth along the spindle depending on the rotational direction of the motor, and by moving the spindle and the spindle nut in relation to each other axial forces are exerted, and where the spindle nut alternatively the spindle has a connection for a longitudinally displaceable activation element, and a squeeze protection device comprising a piezo element, so that dynamic deviations of the load on the actuator are reflected in the read-out from the piezo element, wherein the squeeze protection device is arranged directly or indirectly in connection with an end of the electric motor.
2. The linear actuator according to claim 1, wherein the squeeze protection device is designed as a module consisting of a housing, a spring and a piezo element.
3. The linear actuator according to claim 1, wherein the squeeze protection device is arranged between a first unyielding part in the actuator and a second unyielding part in connection with a mounting fixture.
4. The linear actuator according to claim 3, wherein between the two unyielding parts is a compressible part, which is compressed due to the load on the actuator, for which reason a squeezing in one direction or the other of the actuator will cause a dynamic compression of the compressible part, where the compressible part further functions as a mechanical noise damper of the construction.
5. The linear actuator according to claim 4, wherein the compressible part is equipped with a hollow for insertion of the squeeze protection.
6. The linear actuator according to claim 1, wherein the forces of a squeezing pass from the first unyielding part to the second unyielding part and distribute themselves between the compressible part and the squeeze protection device, so that the spring affects the piezo element for indication of a squeezing.
7. The linear actuator according to claim 6, wherein the compressible part together with the gearing in the spring is dimensioned to limit the dynamic range of the mechanical deflection of the piezo element, by which it is ensured that the piezo element is not deflected in a destructive manner.
8. The linear actuator according to claim 1, wherein the squeeze protection device is equipped with snap-locking means, which with cooperative snap-locking means designed in connection with the first unyielding part in the form of a motor fixture retains the device in connection with the motor.
9. The linear actuator according to claim 1, wherein the piezo element rests on a rim on the motor rear fixture, so that a part of the piezo element is in connection with the motor rear fixture and over the spring to the housing is connected to the top flange.
10. The linear actuator according to claim 9, wherein the piezo element is equipped with a cable connection, which preferably over a plug connection is connected to a printed circuit board in the actuator.
11. The linear actuator according to claim 1 constructed as a telescopic lifting column with at least two mutually telescopic tubular members.
12. An article of furniture with at least two mutually adjustable parts where adjustment is performed by means of a linear actuator as defined in claim 1, where the actuator with one end is secured to one part of the article of furniture and with the other end is secured to the other part of the article of furniture.
13. The article of furniture according to claim 12, designed as a height-adjustable table.
14. The article of furniture according to claim 13, wherein the two telescopic lifting columns are oriented with the thinnest member facing upwards.
