Abstract: A combined closure and pouring spout assembly is disclosed. The assembly consists of an outer closure member adapted to be received within an opening provided in a container and the outer closure has an outwardly opening recess to receive a closure plug. An inner transverse wall is provided in the outer closure and defines a bottom for the recess and a circular aperture is provided in the inner transverse wall and an elongate tube in the form of a pouring spout having inner and outer ends is carried in the circular aperture. The spout has throughout a major portion of its length an outer diameter less than the diameter of the aperture whereby the spout may be moved, when the closure plug is removed, to an extended pouring position and to a retracted non-pouring position.
