Abstract: Resealable caps and tops for directional pour spout containers currently available for liquid and semi-solid products are either a spout and cap design, in which the tip is cut off to pour or squeeze out the container contents, or a non-spout, hinged top-and-bottom design, which defines a flat surface with an opening. These designs have many limitations. For example, the closure portion of a conventional spout closure can become detached, leading to production line delays, lost tips in transit, product recall at the store level, loss of shelf life and potential chocking hazards to children and pets. The non-spout hinged, top-and-bottom design does not offer the directional dispensing capabilities. This invention addresses the shortcomings of conventional caps and tops by providing a one-piece directional pour spout container cap in which the base has an upwardly directed spout and a hinged flip top cap is attached to the spout.

Abstract: The present invention is a dispenser protector device and method. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention comprises a fastener that is associated with a dispenser spigot, or like device. A shield is formed, or otherwise connected, to the fastener such that when the fastener is mounted to a dispenser spigot, the shield prevents direct contact with the spigot of outside elements. While numerous, differing types of contacts are anticipated and protected against by the present invention, the most typical is that when water bottle openings come in contact with dispenser spigots, which generally occurs when water bottles are being refilled. The present invention protects against such direct contact, and other forms of bacterial transmission. It is anticipated that the present invention may be of varied configuration, size, and material construction.
