  • Patent number: 5713491
    Abstract: A pourer which may be used for concurrently pouring dark and white liqueurs from adjacent containers of a bottle. The pourer has a main pourer body with pourer body sections which is engagable, for example by snap fitting, with the respective container. Each pourer body section has a liquid passageway which extends from a liquid inlet to a pouring outlet. The liquid passageways include upstanding portions extending into the containers and separate upper bend portions leading to the outlets. The angle between the longitudinal axes of the outlets is approximately 120.degree. for concurrent pouring of the liquids to opposite sides of a glass. Separate air passageways extend from air inlet parts to air outlets. The air flow is controlled by an air pot over each outlet. The air pots are sized and positioned so that fluid does not enter the air passageways on pouring and only air is forced up the air passageways on finishing pouring.
