Abstract:

A pour spout container with a pour spout which may be pulled out of the container is disclosed as including a container (10) and a pour spout (24, 48). The sealing cap (20, 50) is provided for sealing the container and the pour spout. Threads (16, 22) are formed between the cap and a container neck (12). Threads (30, 32) are formed between an inner cap (20a, 50a) and pour spout (24, 48). Turns of threads (30, 32) are greater than the turns of threads (16, 22) so that the sealing cap may be removed from the container while remaining attached to the pour spout. Grasping of the cap may be utilized to extend the pour spout fully from the container without contacting the pour spout which has been in contact with the fluid in the container. Thereafter the cap may be removed from the pour spout for dispensing fluid. For this purpose, the pour spout is prevented from turning relative to the container so that unthreading thereof can be accomplished without grasping the pour spout.
