Abstract: A liquid dispensing spout having a housing, a detachably attached cylindrical hollow gasket, a flat circular hollow gasket and a lid with a flat circular lid gasket at the inner top surface. The housing includes a top open end with an outer threaded end, a bottom open end with an inner threaded end adapted to mount to at least one container, an outer portion and an inner portion. The inner portion has an open channel extending between the top open end and the bottom open end. A triangular shaped non-moving in-line splitter is positioned in the open channel to provide a dual passage of the liquid and air thereby controlling the flow of the liquid and air flowing back from the container such that the liquid gently flows out at a greatly reduced velocity.

Abstract: The pouring spout includes a first tube detachably connectable to a liquid-storage container, a second tube slideably connected to the first tube, and a liquid outlet duct and an air inlet duct. The liquid outlet duct and the air inlet duct can be both selectively opened and closed by a spring-biased valve system. The air inlet duct, when the valve system is moved from a closed position to an opened position, is initially made in fluid communication with the liquid-storage container only either simultaneously with the liquid outlet duct or immediately after the liquid outlet duct is initially made in fluid communication with the liquid-storage container. This arrangement prevents the liquid from filling the air inlet duct when the liquid is poured using the pouring spout. It also minimizes evaporation and permeability of the liquid on internal surfaces inside the pouring spout.
