Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 114 words
A liquid containing and dispensing device comprising: (a) a rigid wall container adapted to receive a sealed liquid containing pouch having flexible walls in close contact with the walls of said container; and (b) a pouring spout having a tubular depending portion with a sharpened end movably mounted at the top of said container and adapted to perforate the top of said pouch and form a seal around the opening of the pouch to effect pouring of the contents of the pouch, said pouring spout including two rust-proof wires and said container including two wire guiding means, one on each side thereof, permitting said wires to slide down along the sides of the container.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 114 words
A liquid containing and dispensing device comprising: (a) a rigid wall container adapted to receive a sealed liquid containing pouch having flexible walls in close contact with the walls of said container; and (b) a pouring spout having a tubular depending portion with a sharpened end movably mounted at the top of said container and adapted to perforate the top of said pouch and form a seal around the opening of the pouch to effect pouring of the contents of the pouch, said pouring spout including two rust-proof wires and said container including two wire guiding means, one on each side thereof, permitting said wires to slide down along the sides of the container.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 63 words
A liquid containing and dispensing device as defined in claim 1, wherein said guiding means include a hole in the upper edge of the container, an open guide in line with said hole and a cut-away portion on one side of said open guide for permitting tilting of the wires supporting the pouring spout to permit insertion of a pouch into the container.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 109 words
A liquid containing and dispensing device as defined in claims 1, or 2, wherein said tubular depending portion is a tube which has a bevelled end edge and which is partly flattened longitudinally of the tube to form a pointed tip, said end edge being sharpened only partially around the same, so as to cut a hole in a pouch of a size smaller than the cross-sectional area of the tube, whereby the wall of said pouch will be stretched around the tubular depending portion of the pouring spout and form a seal around it to prevent escape of the contents of said pouch around the tubular depending portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 177 words
A liquid containing and dispensing device comprising: (a) a rigid wall container adapted to receive a sealed liquid containing pouch having flexible walls in close contact with the walls of said container; and (b) a pouring spout having a tubular depending portion with a sharpened end movably mounted at the top of said container and adapted to perforate the top of said pouch and form a seal around the opening of the pouch to effect pouring of the contents of the pouch, said tubular depending portion being a tube which has a bevelled end edge and which is partially flattened longitudinally of the tube to form a pointed tip, said end edge being sharpened only partially around the same, so as to cut a hole in a pouch of a size smaller than the cross-sectional area of the tube, whereby the wall of said pouch will be stretched around the tubular depending portion of the pouring spout and form a seal around it to prevent escape of the contents of said pouch around the tubular depending portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 177 words
A liquid containing and dispensing device comprising: (a) a rigid wall container adapted to receive a sealed liquid containing pouch having flexible walls in close contact with the walls of said container; and (b) a pouring spout having a tubular depending portion with a sharpened end movably mounted at the top of said container and adapted to perforate the top of said pouch and form a seal around the opening of the pouch to effect pouring of the contents of the pouch, said tubular depending portion being a tube which has a bevelled end edge and which is partially flattened longitudinally of the tube to form a pointed tip, said end edge being sharpened only partially around the same, so as to cut a hole in a pouch of a size smaller than the cross-sectional area of the tube, whereby the wall of said pouch will be stretched around the tubular depending portion of the pouring spout and form a seal around it to prevent escape of the contents of said pouch around the tubular depending portion.
