Abstract
A flexible pour spout for controlling a flow of fluid. A pour spout includes a proximal portion configured to be inserted into an opening of a container and a distal portion configured to extend outside the container when the proximal portion is inserted into the opening of the container. The proximal portion includes a first sidewall defining a first internal cavity and a collar attached to an external side of the first sidewall. The distal portion includes a second sidewall defining a second internal cavity and a terminal opening located at a distal end of the second sidewall. The second sidewall comprises a bend such that at least a portion of the second sidewall collapses along the bend to reduce a size of the terminal opening in response to applying a pressure to the second sidewall.
