Abstract: The disclosure concerns an erecting spout cap for pouring liquid from containers without removal of the cap itself. The erecting spout cap comprises a lever in the outer lining of the cap embodiment, a memory recoil tongue, and a spout embedded in the casing of the cap, wherein relieving the use of two hands to open and close liquid containers. The lever is engaged with one finger which slides the seal of the cap open. The inner annular wall comprises a concave means to align the erecting spout cap with a stopper material. The serving spout comprises a type of “funnel” to precede passing liquid. An erecting and auto-retracting spout in a closure article thus secures liquid contents from foreign objects and provides a direct and accurate pour.
