Abstract
Pourer consisting of an elongated, tubular part of plastic material. This part of plastic material is made resilient and has an external diameter greater than that of the associated bottles. The tubular part is provided with a split, as a result of which the diameter can be reduced to some extent and the pourer can be accommodated with a clamping action in a bottle. This clamping can be even further promoted by providing ribs. The pourer is provided with a search point to facilitate introduction into a bottle and the pouring end is flared.
Claims14
A pourer (1, 21) comprising:
- a sleeve-shaped elongated body constructed at one end (3, 23) for clamping introduction into a pouring facility of a container and constructed at an other end (15, 35) as a collector for liquid droplets;
- wherein a pouring section (2, 22) is arranged in said other end (15, 35), a free end (9, 29) of said pouring section in the pouring position protruding further than a free end (13) of the collector,
- wherein a collection channel (14) is delimited between said collector and said pouring section, said collection channel having a transverse section (19) extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis (7) of said elongated body and merging into a longitudinal section (18) on either side,
- wherein the longitudinal section (18) of the collection channel opens into the sleeve-shaped body, and
- wherein the cross-section of said channel gradually decreases from said transverse section to the opening of said longitudinal section into the sleeve-shaped body.
