Abstract

A pour spout used in bottles containing liquid substances with different degrees of viscosity. The pour spout comprises a pouring opening, which is defined by at least a first and a second pouring orifice for the liquid substances, being the pouring area of the first orifice bigger than or equal to the area of the pouring area of the second orifice. The use of the pour spout allows to obtain different flows of the contained liquid, according to the user'"'"'s choice. Each orifice presents its respective lids, which are proportional to the orifice the cover. Alternatively, each orifice defines air inlet paths.

Claims

A pour spout used in bottles containing liquid substances with different degrees of viscosity, wherein said pour spout comprises a pouring opening defined by at least a first and a second orifice for the pouring of liquid substances, the pouring area of the first orifice being bigger than or equal to the pouring area of the second orifice.

2. The spout of claim 1, wherein said first and second orifices comprise respective blocking lids for the pouring of contained liquid.

3. The spout of claim 2, wherein the sizes of said lids are is proportional to the sizes of the first and second orifices.

4. The spout of any one of claims 1, 2, and 3, wherein said first and second spouts are symmetrically arranged.

5. The spout of claim 1, wherein a rim neck that defines a spout projects from the pouring opening.

6. The spout of claim 5, wherein said rim neck comprises a pair of grooves arranged in a fashion that faces each of the first and second pouring orifices.

7. The spout of claim 2, wherein each respective lid comprises a pulling portion.

8. The spout of claim 7, wherein said pulling portions present fastening means attachable to the rim neck edge.

9. The spout of any one of claims 1, 2, and 3, wherein said first and second pouring orifices alternatively define a sort of air inlet path.

10. The spout of claim 2, wherein said lids are opposing each other and joined by means of a hinge.
