Pour bag with grippable dispensing funnel

Abstract

A bag made of two opposing sheets, shaped to have a dispensing funnel extending outward from one side at the bottom. The bag is primarily for dry contents and constructed so that it is easy to pour dry contents with control, even if they are heavy. The dispensing funnel has a grippable spout and a flow area that allows the contents to flow through the spout easily. The grippable spout can be held in the hand, and affords more control over the flow by manually opening and shutting the opening. The structure of the funnel allows the user to hold the bag in one hand, tip the bag 45 degrees and hold on to the spout with the other hand to control the speed and direction of the flow. The bag is easy to construct and can be sold with or without contents.

1 . A bag comprised of two opposing flexible sheets joined together to create said bag's interior cavity and shaped such that the bag comprises a rectangular body and a dispensing funnel extending outward from the bottom of the rectangular body, wherein the dispensing funnel comprises:
 a. a grippable spout at least two inches long and comprising an openable end; and   b. a curved flow area connecting the grippable spout to the rectangular body of the bag, wherein the bottom border of the curved flow area is coincident with the bottom of the bag, and the top border of the curved flow area is a curved seam coincident with the top side of the dispensing funnel of the bag, and wherein the angle of the curved seam is at least 45 degrees nearest the grippable spout and increases from the grippable spout to the rectangular body of the bag.   
     
     
         2 . The bag of  claim 1  wherein the top of the grippable spout at the openable end is angled approximately 37.5 degrees. 
     
     
         3 . The bag of  claim 1  wherein the openable end of the grippable spout comprises a first zipper closure, and the dispensing funnel further comprises a second zipper closure that is openable to release contents of the bag into the dispensing funnel. 
     
     
         4 . The bag of  claim 2  wherein the openable end of the grippable spout comprises a first zipper closure, and the dispensing funnel further comprises a second zipper closure that is openable to release contents of the bag into the dispensing funnel. 
     
     
         5 . The bag of  claim 1  wherein the dispensing funnel further comprises measurement markers to determine the amount of contents released from the bag. 
     
     
         6 . The bag of  claim 2  wherein the dispensing funnel further comprises measurement markers to determine the amount of contents released from the bag. 
     
     
         7 . The bag of  claim 3  wherein the dispensing funnel further comprises measurement markers to determine the amount of contents released from the bag. 
     
     
         8 . The bag of  claim 4  wherein the dispensing funnel further comprises measurement markers to determine the amount of contents released from the bag.
