Abstract: A disposable plastic bottle used to contain fluid substances having an integral, flexible funnel spout, with sealable opening, featuring an external air vent integrally formed into the mouth of the spout suitable for accurately transferring fluids through tight filler openings which would ordinarily require the use of a separate funnel or spout. When the mouth of the spout is snugly inserted into a receptacle, the external air vent will provide a direct air passage to the contents of the bottle allowing the liquid to flow smoothly without restriction. The spout is integrally formed atop the bottle and comprises a plurality of bellows like ribs. Such ribs have a thinner cross-sectional wall than the side walls of the container body. This permits the spout to be flexed, enabling the ribs to collapse over-center and fold, allowing the spout to retain the flexed condition without external assistance, thereby creating a self latching feature.

Abstract: In a container such as a cardboard container for packaging milk which comprises sidewalls, a bottom flap and a top flap as well as an ear to be folded down around a folding edge for forming a pouring spout the problem is encountered that, for opening the container, an outer portion of the ear has to be cut away and, after opening the container, no reclosure is possible, but the pouring spout remains open and may be a source of pollution.In order to obviate this problem the ear of the inventive container comprises a socket member projecting from the ear at the surface thereof adjacent to the folding edge and facing a sidewall of the container, and there is an aperture provided in the facing sidewall for receiving the socket member. In this manner, the socket member forms a reclosable pouring spout of the container.
