Abstract: A liquid dispenser (10) for a container of liquid, comprises a spout (12) and a liquid uptake structure (18) aligned to provide liquid to the spout from a container. The liquid uptake structure has first openings (20) radially distributed at the spout end, second openings radially distributed around the container end and a third opening centrally located at the container end. The liquid uptake structure provides an airflow path through the second openings and a principle liquid flow path separate from the airflow path through the third opening, thus separating the two flow paths and providing a smooth pour.

Abstract: A mixing tumbler with two or more compartments, each designed to contain a different component used to prepare a desired mixture, which is structured so as to enable the user to initiate the collapse of the partitions between the compartments, enabling the components to mix and create the desired mixture. The mixing tumbler comprises a flask that is divided into two or more compartments, a cover, and separation discs between the said compartments.

Abstract: A bottle accessory for application with a cap to the neck of a bottle, includes: a housing dimensioned so as to be fixedly received within the bottle neck; and a connector disc attached to the upper end of the housing and receivable within the cap to serve as an inner liner thereof when the cap is applied to the neck of the bottle. The housing and connector disc are constructed to enable the housing to be attached with the cap to the bottle neck and, once so attached, to enable the connector disc to be released from the housing, such that when the cap is removed, the connector disc will remain as a liner within the cap, while the housing will remain attached to the bottle neck. The invention is particularly useful in a retractable spout assembly wherein the housing houses a retractable spout.

Abstract: A retractable spout assembly for a container having a dispensing opening for dispensing contents from the container, the retractable spout assembly includes a mounting member configured to be fixedly mounted in the dispensing opening; and a spout carried by the mounting member and movable with respect thereto from a retracted position within the container to an extended position extending outwardly of the container for use in dispensing contents of the container; wherein the retractable spout assembly further includes a cap removably attached directly to the mounting member and configured such that, when the cap is attached to the mounting member, the cap closes the spout and retains the spout in its retracted position, and when the cap is removed from the mounting member, the cap opens the spout and permits the spout to move to its extended position for use in dispensing the contents of the container.

Abstract: A retractable spout assembly for application to the neck of a bottle includes: a sleeve-like housing fixedly receivable within the bottle neck; a spout movable within the housing from a retracted position, when the housing is fixed within the bottle neck and the bottle neck closed by the cap, to an extended position projecting outwardly of the housing and the bottle neck for pouring out contents of the bottle; and an air-return passageway for returning air into the bottle when contents therefrom are being poured out through the spout. The air-return passageway is fixed with respect to the housing such that it does not change its position during the extension and retraction of the spout. The housing is formed with a plurality of holes adjacent its inner end to enable complete emptying of the bottle.
