The first body comprises a movement guide and a plurality of openings, and forms a first chamber which comprises a plug element which moves along the movement guide and a seated opening for the plug element. The second body forms a second chamber juxtaposed to the first chamber in which an element formed of a material which is resistant to penetration by piercing objects is situated.

  • Patent number: 4523687
    Abstract: A non-refillable pour spout, for use in the neck of a bottle to prevent introduction of liquid into the bottle but permit liquid already within the bottle to be poured from the bottle in any direction, includes a pair of check valves in a liquid pouring duct and a third check valve in a separate air entry conduit which extends through the pour spout alongside the liquid pouring duct. The pour spout fits within the neck of a bottle, where it is retained sealingly by a plurality of flexible collars extending about the circumference of the pourer spout. A horizontal flange extends radially about the upper end of the liquid discharge tube, a small distance above the upper end of the air entry vent conduit, to protect the air entry vent conduit against introduction of liquid and to permit liquid to be poured in any direction without spilling into the open end of the air entry conduit.
