  • Patent number: 11618612
    Abstract: A pour spout has a spout section with an elongate tubular body defining a liquid flow channel. The body has a fluted or corrugated configuration rendering the body flexible or bendable. A dispensing orifice is disposed at a dispensing end of the pour spout and an attachment end is disposed at an end of the body opposite the dispensing end. The attachment end has a liquid inlet orifice. A vent section of the pour spot is joined to the attachment end of the body. The vent section includes an air vent that defines an air flow path, which directs air from outside of the pour spout along the air flow path toward a container interior while bypassing the liquid flow channel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9908669
    Abstract: A lid for a liquid container has a lid wall with a perimeter, a top side surface, and an underside surface. The lid has an anti-glug device carried on the lid wall and positioned to coincide with a dispensing orifice in the lid wall. The anti-glug device has a channel that partly circumferentially surrounds the dispensing orifice. Terminal ends of the channel define a circumferential gap therebetween. One or more air vents are formed axially through a part of the channel and are disposed circumferentially opposite the circumferential gap.

  • Patent number: 9669972
    Abstract: A container assembly for holding liquids has an interior space and a pour spout including a spout portion carried by and extending from part of the container assembly. The pour spout has an outlet and defines a liquid flow path in fluid communication between the interior space and the outlet. An anti-glug device is carried by part of the container assembly. The anti-glug device has a channel only partly circumferentially surrounding the liquid flow path and has one or more air vents through a wall of the channel.

  • Publication number: 20140332568
    Abstract: A pour spout has an elongate body with a primary flow channel and a secondary flow channel, a dispensing orifice at one end of the pour spout, and an attachment end at an opposite end of the pour spout. An air vent is positioned nearer the attachment end and has an air inlet into the elongate tubular body and in fluid communication with the secondary flow channel. The air vent allows air to flow from the inlet opening into the secondary flow channel and toward the attachment end during pouring of liquid from the dispensing end of the pour spout.
