  • Beverage container pouring cap
    Patent number: 10106302
    Abstract: A pouring cap for a container automatically opens to pour the contents when tilted, and automatically closes when pouring is complete. The cap is affixed to the container along a bottom portion and to a locking upper lid along a top portion. An internal valve is provided which is guided vertically within the cap which covers a plurality of pouring apertures. When the cap and container are upturned during pouring, the valve is displaced to uncover the pouring apertures. When the container is downturned following pouring, the valve moves downwardly to cover the pouring apertures. When the locking upper lid is installed, it biases the valve to securely cover the pouring apertures.
