Abstract
The push-pull spout assembly (10) is configured to dispense fluid materials from a container (12). The spout assembly (10) includes a pair of generally tubular, telescopically interfitted first (20) and second members (54) defining a fluid passageway (22). Each member includes a complemental closure wall (30,58) projecting into the fluid passageway (22). In a blocking position the complemental walls (30,58) are aligned and block fluid flow through the passageway (22) and in an offset position the members (20,54) are shifted axially relative to one another to allow fluid flow through the passageway.
Claims15
A push-pull spout assembly for dispensing fluids from a container, the assembly comprising:
- a pair of telescopically coupled first and second members cooperatively defining a fluid passageway,
- said first member including a coupler for connecting the spout assembly to the container,
- said members including complemental closure walls projecting into the passageway and being selectively positionable in a blocking position, in which they are aligned and block flow through the passageway, and an offset position to permit flow through the passageway, when the members are shifted axially relative to one another, said complemental closure walls being generally semicircular in shape and substantially similar in size.
A push-pull spout assembly for dispensing fluids from a container comprising:
- a pair of generally tubular first and second members cooperatively defining a fluid passageway, said first and second members being generally cylindrical in shape;
- said second member being axially shiftable relative to said first member between a blocking position and an offset open position
- said members including complemental walls projecting into the passageway, in said walls being aligned in said blocking position to block flow through the passageway;
- in said offset position, said walls being shifted axially relative to one another allowing fluid to flow through the passageway, said complemental walls being generally semicircular shaped and generally similar in size.
