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.
