  • Patent number: 5467896
    Abstract: A no drip pour spout including a tapering tubular spout having a lid piercing member affixed to a larger end thereof using a perforated interface member wherein the interface member has a liquid collection lip arranged to gather liquid which ordinarily would drip from the container. The liquid collection lip is drained by a liquid recovery conduit which is connected to the smaller end of the tapering tubular spout. Liquid which would ordinarily drip from the container is forceably removed from the liquid collection lip by slight suction created by liquid flow through the tapering tubular spout and by gravity. An alternate embodiment includes a provision for use with threaded cover bottle type liquid containers.
