Pouring spout

A spout to pour a liquid from and through a liquid outlet toward and into an inlet, consisting of a main elongated tubular section, a connector member fixed at one end of said tubular section and releasably secured to said outlet, and a nozzle at the other end of said main section and adapted to freely engage said inlet;

• said tubular section forming bellows defining a plurality of interconnected first ribs, and being made from a semi-rigid material;
• further including first means whereby said tubular section will be flexible transversely to its longitudinal axis upon a first forcible action being applied thereon, yet will maintain its last chosen flexed condition when said first forcible action ceases, and second means whereby said tubular section is telescopingly extendable or retractable about its longitudinal axis upon a second forcible action being applied thereon, yet will maintain its last chosen extended or retracted condition when said second forcible action ceases;
• wherein each rib is circular and consists of a pair of radially inwardly diverging frusto-conical walls which are interconnected at their larger diameter ends by a rounded section and by an offset section;
• a smaller diameter joint being defined between two adjacent ribs and being provided with a weakening groove at its outer surface;
• the wall which merges with said offset section being less inclined than the other wall relative to the longitudinal axis of the spout when the latter is straight.
