  • Patent number: 11772885
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a liner structure adapted for insertion within a discharge spout of a container. The liner structure may include a neck formed of a liner material and enclosing a cross-sectional area substantially equal to a cross-sectional area of the discharge spout. A collar formed of the liner material may be coupled circumferentially to an end of the neck, wherein the collar has a cross-sectional area greater than the cross-sectional area of the discharge spout. A constrictable sidewall is on the neck proximate the collar. Constricting the constrictable sidewall compresses the collar such that it is within the cross-sectional area.
