Two member pouring device having vent

Claim 2

A pourer for guiding the flow of liquid from a bottle comprising a spout member and a sealing member, said spout member comprising a rigid body having an upper spout portion and a lower base portion and having a passage therethrough opening at one end through the bottom of said base portion and at its other end through the top of said spout portion, said base portion being generally cylindrical and having a longitudinal trough in the exterior wall surface thereof, said sealing member comprising a flexible tubular body tightly fitted over said base portion, said sealing member having a longitudinally extending tubular air vent attached as an integral part of the inner wall surface thereof and seating in said trough to prevent relative rotational movement of said spout member and said sealing member relative to one another.

Claim 3

A pourer in accordance with claim 1 wherein said base portion of said spout member and said sealing member have cooperating means interlocking them against longitudinal movement relaitve to one another.

Claim 4

A pourer in accordance with claim 1 wherein the passage through said spout portion and the trough of said base portion of said spout are separated from and do not communicate with one another.

Claim 5

The pourer of claim 3 including a circular flange separating said base portion and said spout portion from one another and closing the upper end of said trough.

Claim 6

The pourer of claim 4 wherein said flange has a groove in the undersurface thereon in communication with said trough and said vent tube for venting air radially outwardly therefrom.

Claim 7

A pourer for dispensing liquid from a narrow necked bottle, said pourer comprising a rigid spout member for guiding the flow of liquid from the bottle and a flexible resilient sealing member for sealingly seating within the neck of the bottle and removably attaching the pourer thereto, said spout member including a rigid base portion having a longitudinal bore therethrough and having a longitudinally extending trough in the outer wall thereof, said flexible sealing member comprising a tubular body tightly fitting over said rigid base portion and having a longitudinal vent tube provided as an integral part extending along the inside wall thereof and seating within said trough.

Claim 8

A pourer for dispensing liquid from a narrow necked bottle, said pourer comprising a rigid spout member for guiding the flow of liquid from the bottle and a flexible resilient sealing member for sealingly seating within the neck of the bottle and removably attaching the pourer thereto, said spout member including a rigid base portion having a longitudinal bore therethrough and having a longitudinally extending trough in the outer wall thereof, said flexible sealing member comprising a tubular body tightly fitting over said rigid base portion and having a longitudinal vent tube provided as an integral part extending along the inside wall thereof and seating within said trough.

Claim 9

The pourer of claim 6 wherein said spout member includes a circular flange surrounding the upper end of said base portion for overlying the top of a bottle, said flange having a radially outwardly extending groove in the undersurface thereof into which the upper end of said trough opens.

Claim 10

The pourer of claim 6 wherein said sealing member has a recess on the inside wall surface thereof and said base portion of said spout member has a projection on the outer wall surface thereof seating in said recess thereby preventing longitudinal movement of said spout member and said sealing member relative to one another.

Claim 11

The pourer of claim 8 wherein said recess is a circumferentially extending groove and said projection is a circumferentially extending lip.

Claim 12

A pouring device comprising a spout member for guiding the flow of liquid from the mouth of a bottle and a sealing member for mounting the device in the neck of a bottle, said spout member comprising a rigid body having an upper spout portion and a lower base portion and having a passage therethough opening at one end through the bottom of said base portion and at its other end through the top of said spout portion, said base portion being generally cylindrical and having a longitudinal trough in the exterior wall surface thereof, said sealing member comprising a flexible resilient tubular body tightly fitted over said base portion and having a longitudinally extending tubular air vent attached to the inner wall surface thereof and projecting therebelow, said tubular air vent seating in said trough and fixing said members against rotational movement relative to one another, said spout member including a circular radially extending flange surrounding the upper end of said base portion for overlying the top of a bottle, said flange having a radially outwardly extending groove in the undersurface thereof into which the upper end of said vent tube opens, said sealing member further having a circumferentially extending groove on the inside wall surface thereof, said base portion having a circumferentially extending lip on the outside wall surface thereof seating in said sealing member groove thereby fixing said members against longitudinal movement relative to one another.

Claim 13

A pouring device comprising a spout member for guiding the flow of liquid from the mouth of a bottle and a sealing member for mounting the device in the neck of a bottle, said spout member comprising a rigid body having an upper spout portion and a lower base portion and having a passage therethough opening at one end through the bottom of said base portion and at its other end through the top of said spout portion, said base portion being generally cylindrical and having a longitudinal trough in the exterior wall surface thereof, said sealing member comprising a flexible resilient tubular body tightly fitted over said base portion and having a longitudinally extending tubular air vent attached to the inner wall surface thereof and projecting therebelow, said tubular air vent seating in said trough and fixing said members against rotational movement relative to one another, said spout member including a circular radially extending flange surrounding the upper end of said base portion for overlying the top of a bottle, said flange having a radially outwardly extending groove in the undersurface thereof into which the upper end of said vent tube opens, said sealing member further having a circumferentially extending groove on the inside wall surface thereof, said base portion having a circumferentially extending lip on the outside wall surface thereof seating in said sealing member groove thereby fixing said members against longitudinal movement relative to one another.
