Abstract
Abstract A valve for a bottle having a port, the valve having a body adapted to be received in sealing relation on the port, the body having a passage extending therethrough in communication with the port; a closure rotationally mounted in sealing relation on the body, the closure having a passage registrable with the passage of the body; and a follower and cam way individually mounted on and interconnecting the closure and the body to limit rotation of the closure between an opened position in which the passages are in registration and a closed position in which the passage of the body is sealed by the closure.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
252 words
A valve for a bottle having a threaded end and opening, the valve comprising a plate adapted to be received on the end of the bottle in sealing relation to the opening, the plate having a passage extended therethrough in communication with the opening of the bottle; an air tube mounted on the plate extending inwardly through the opening of the bottle; an eccentric pouring spout rotationally mounted on the plate in covering relation to the passage and air tube; and guide means interconnecting the plate and pouring spout to guide the spout during pivotal movement so as selectively to seal and open the passage and air tube of the plate, said guide means including a flange radially extending from the pouring spout and mounted in facing engagement with the plate, the flange having an air opening registrable with the air tube of the plate when the pouring spout is in registration with the passage of the plate, said guide means further including a cap mounted in circumscribing, covering relation on the plate and flange of the spout and adapted to be threadably received in sealing relation on the threaded end of the bottle, and said guide means further including a cam and a cam follower individually mounted on and interconnecting the plate and flange to limit rotational movement of the spout between an open position in which the spout and passage and the air opening and tube are in registration and a closed position in which they are displaced from registration.

A valve for a bottle having a threaded end and opening, the valve comprising a plate adapted to be received on the end of the bottle in sealing relation to the opening, the plate having a passage extended therethrough in communication with the opening of the bottle; an air tube mounted on the plate extending inwardly through the opening of the bottle; an eccentric pouring spout rotationally mounted on the plate in covering relation to the passage and air tube; and guide means interconnecting the plate and pouring spout to guide the spout during pivotal movement so as selectively to seal and open the passage and air tube of the plate, said guide means including a flange radially extending from the pouring spout and mounted in facing engagement with the plate, the flange having an air opening registrable with the air tube of the plate when the pouring spout is in registration with the passage of the plate, said guide means further including a cap mounted in circumscribing, covering relation on the plate and flange of the spout and adapted to be threadably received in sealing relation on the threaded end of the bottle, and said guide means further including a cam and a cam follower individually mounted on and interconnecting the plate and flange to limit rotational movement of the spout between an open position in which the spout and passage and the air opening and tube are in registration and a closed position in which they are displaced from registration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
129 words
A pouring spout valve for a bottle, the valve comprising a substantially cylindrical body having a sealed end and an opposite entrance opening, a pouring opening provided in the body adjacent to the sealed end; a flange borne by the body extending radially therefrom to define a pouring portion of the body adjacent to the sealed end and a plug portion adjacent to the entrance opening; an air tube mounted within the body communicating with the exterior thereof in the pouring portion and extending outwardly of the body through the entrance opening; and a substantially cylindrical sealing closure, having a discharge opening and an air orifice selectively registrable with the pouring opening and air tube respectively of the pouring portion, secured in fitted, rotational relation about the pouring portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
129 words
A pouring spout valve for a bottle, the valve comprising a substantially cylindrical body having a sealed end and an opposite entrance opening, a pouring opening provided in the body adjacent to the sealed end; a flange borne by the body extending radially therefrom to define a pouring portion of the body adjacent to the sealed end and a plug portion adjacent to the entrance opening; an air tube mounted within the body communicating with the exterior thereof in the pouring portion and extending outwardly of the body through the entrance opening; and a substantially cylindrical sealing closure, having a discharge opening and an air orifice selectively registrable with the pouring opening and air tube respectively of the pouring portion, secured in fitted, rotational relation about the pouring portion.
