Abstract
An expandable contractible pour spout cap adapted to secure to openings of fluid containers for motor oils, transmission fluids, cooking oils, liquors, etc. with an extendable corrugated hose in communication with the interior of the container and an open pouring end, which extends in a pour position, and collapses back into the pour spout cap in a storage position.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . An expandable contractible pour spout cap adapted to secure to openings of fluid containers, comprising:
a. a flexible telescoping accordion pour spout with a first end and a second end defining a channel in communication with an interior of a fluid container, when mounted, b. a pull cap removably affixed to a pull cap base, the pull cap removably secured to the first end of the accordion pour spout to close its channel in a storage mode, which pull cap is removed from the pull cap base to extend the pour spout for pouring in a pouring mode, and replaced on the first end for storing liquids in the fluid container in a storage mode; the pull cap base structured to affix to and form a seal with openings of fluid containers; c. a flexible extension/inversion coupling with a top affixed to the second end of the telescoping accordion pour spout and a bottom structured to be secured by the pull cap base to seal the opening of the fluid container in communication with the accordion pour spout channel; the coupling of a length sized to enfold within the opening of the fluid container at a depth to accommodate the collapsed telescoping accordion pour spout in a collapsed mode for the pull cap and base to close over the fluid container opening, and the coupling extendable beyond the opening of the fluid container to release the telescoping pour spout for pouring in an extended mode.
2 . The pour spout cap according to claim 1 , wherein the expandable contractible pour spout cap is constructed of one piece with the fluid container.
3 . The pour spout cap according to claim 1 , wherein the flexible telescoping accordion pour spout segment and the flexible extension/inversion coupling are of one piece uni-body construction.
4 . The pour spout cap according to claim 1 , wherein the pull cap is threaded, and the first end of the pour spout has corresponding threads so that the pull cap screws on and off the first end of the pour spout.
5 . The pour spout cap according to claim 1 , wherein the pull cap is structured with a finger pull ring.
6 . The pour spout cap according to claim 1 , wherein the pull cap base is threaded with threads corresponding to threaded openings of the opening of fluid containers to screw on and of the fluid container.
7 . An expandable contractible pour spout cap adapted to secure to threaded openings of fluid containers comprising:
a. a flexible telescoping according pour spout with a threaded first end and a second end defining a channel in communication with an interior of a fluid container when mounted, b. a pull cap removably affixed to a threaded pull cap base, the pull cap screw mounted to the first end of the accordion pour spout to close its channel in a storage mode, and which pull cap is removed from the threaded pull cap base to extend the pour spout for pouring in a pouring mode; the pull cap base structured to screw onto and form a seal with the threaded openings of fluid containers; c. a coupling with a top affixed to the second end of the telescoping accordion pour spout and a bottom structured to be secured by the pull cap threaded base to seal the threaded opening of the fluid container in communication with the accordion pour spout channel; the coupling of a length sized to fit within the opening of the fluid container at a depth to accommodate the collapsed telescoping accordion pour spout in a collapsed mode for the pull cap and base to close over the fluid container threaded opening, and release the telescoping pour spout for pouring in an extended pouring mode.
8 . The pour spout cap according to claim 7 , wherein the coupling is flexible and extendable of a length sized to enfold within the opening of the fluid container at a depth to accommodate the collapsed telescoping accordion pour spout in a collapsed mode for the pull cap and base to secure and close over the fluid container threaded opening in a storage mode, and the coupling extendable beyond the opening of the fluid container to release the telescoping pour spout for pouring in an extended pouring mode.
9 . The pour spout cap according to claim 8 , wherein the bottom of the coupling is structured as a flanged gasket to secure about the opening of the fluid container when the pull cap threaded base is screwed onto the container threaded opening.
10 . An expandable contractible pour spout cap adapted to secure to openings of squeezable fluid containers, comprising:
a. a flexible telescoping accordion pour spout with a first end and a second end defining a channel in communication with an interior of a fluid container, when mounted, b. a pull cap removably affixed to a pull cap base, the pull cap removably secured to the first end of the accordion pour spout to close its channel in a storage mode, which pull cap is removed from the pull cap base to extend the pour spout for pouring in a pouring mode, and replaced on the first end for storing liquids in the fluid container in a storage mode; the pull cap base structured to affix to and form a seal with openings of fluid containers; c. a flexible extension/inversion coupling with a top affixed to the second end of the telescoping accordion pour spout and a bottom structured to be secured by the pull cap base to seal the opening of the fluid container in communication with the accordion pour spout channel; the coupling of a length sized to enfold within the opening of the fluid container at a depth to accommodate the collapsed telescoping accordion pour spout in a collapsed mode for the pull cap and base to close over the fluid container opening, and the coupling extendable beyond the opening of the fluid container to release the telescoping pour spout for pouring in an extended mode, and d. a flow valve mounted proximate the second end of the pour spout, which in one mode allows fluid to pass when the container is squeezed for pouring, and in another mode prevents fluids from passing.
11 . The pour spout cap according to claim 10 , wherein the expandable contractible pour spout cap is constructed of one piece with the fluid container.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
