A Lever
A sloping surface is a simple machine called an inclined plane. It is used to reduce the amount of force needed to lift an object by lengthening the distance over which the force is applied.
The blade of a pencil sharpener is a wedge.
A simple machine that is also an inclined plane is a ramp. A ramp is a sloping surface that allows objects to be moved from a lower to a higher height with less force.
A wedge is a simple machine that consists of an inclined plane with one or two sloping sides. It is used to split, lift, or tighten objects by converting a force applied to the wide end into a greater force applied at the narrow end.
A cup can be considered a double inclined plane because the sloping sides help guide liquids or solids into the opening at the top.
Inclined plane
That would be a wedge.

The handle of a key is a simple lever. The sloping sides of the teeth on a cylinder-lock key ('Yale' type) act as wedges to lift the internallocking pins.
A cup can be considered a double inclined plane because the sloping sides help guide liquids or solids into the opening at the top.
A funnel is considered a type of simple machine called an inclined plane. Its purpose is to channel liquids or powders smoothly from a wide opening to a narrower one. The sloping sides of the funnel help guide the substance being poured with less spillage or splashing.
