  • Patent number: 4646948
    Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in a container for measuring discrete quantities of poured-out liquid, which comprises a primary storage container, a measuring head, and a modified pour-spout, formed as a unitary body. The improvements include a first embodiment having a single pour-out mouth, also serving as a filler opening, wherein a removable insert plug formed integrally with the modified pour-spout is interposed into the neck between the measuring head and the primary container. In a second embodiment including a single pour-out opening, and a removable plug between the measuring head and the primary storage container, the modified pour-spout is formed integrally at the back of the measuring head by a compression-molding process. In another embodiment, having a single pour-out opening, an annular bulge interposed in the neck between the measuring head and the primary storage container provides an orifice for filling, and is collapsed to provide closure.
