AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a squeezable fluid container with a built-in pour spout that can be customized for different containers. The pull cap includes a flow valve that allows fluid to pass when squeezed and prevents it from passing when the spout is positioned for emptying the container. This design eliminates the need for additional attachable spouts, which are more expensive, and provides a flexible plastic spout that sits inside the cartridge. The technical effects of this invention are its cost-effectiveness, adaptability to different containers, and convenient disposability or reusability of the pull cap.

Problems solved by technology

Most of these pour spouts and funnels are combination cap / pour spouts that are difficult to construct, produce, or to secure to the opening of a liquid container.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of the extended pour spout cap 10 affixed to the neck of a fluid container. The pour spout cap 10 has a pull ring 12. The pour spout cap 10 is attached to a threaded end 14 of a flexible accordion hose 16 to extend the same for pouring. The other end 18 of the flexible accordion hose 16 is affixed to the top 20 of a flexible extension / inversion coupling 22 forming a continuous channel in communication with the interior of the container, when mounted to the neck of a fluid container by the pour spout cap base 26. The bottom 24 of the flexible extension / inversion coupling 24 is flanged, and secured by the pour spout cap base 26 to the neck of the fluid container forming a gasket type fluid tight seal.

[0031]The pour spout cap 10 is unscrewed from the threaded end 14 of the flexible accordion hose 16 for pouring fluids from the container. After pouring, the pour spout cap 10 is screwed back on to store remaining fluids in the container.
