Abstract
A spout connector and reinforcement ring assembly includes a rigid ring that is positioned around an exterior surface of an input connector of the spout and prevents expansion of the input connector as the input connector is screw threaded on a threaded opening of a container.
Claims18
A spout connector and reinforcement ring assembly comprising:
- a spout;
- an input connector on the spout, the input connector having internal screw threads and the input connector having an exterior surface that extends around the internal screw threads of the input connector;
- a ring, the ring and the spout being separate parts with the ring being separable from the spout, the ring being removably positioned on and in engagement over the input connector, the ring is positioned on the exterior surface of the input connector, the ring being operable to prevent expansion of the input connector as the input connector is positioned on an opening of a container;
- a torque surface on an exterior of the spout, the torque surface being adjacent to and separate from the input connector, the torque surface being configured for transmitting a turning, screwing force to the input connector connector on the opening of the container.

A spout connector and reinforcement ring assembly comprising:
- a spout, the spout being constructed of a material having a first rigidity;
- an input connector integrally on the spout, the input connector having internal screw threads and the input connector having a cylindrical exterior surface that extends around the internal screw threads;
- a ring, the ring being constructed of a material having a second rigidity, the second rigidity being greater than the first rigidity;
- and
- the ring being positioned on and fitting over the cylindrical exterior surface of the input connector and being operable to prevent radial expansion of the input connector as the input connector is positioned on a dispenser opening of a container;
- a torque surface on an exterior of the spout, the torque surface being adjacent to and separate from the input connector, the torque surface being configured for transmitting a turning, screwing force to the input connector, connector on the opening of the container.
