Biodegradable packaging with pouring spout
First Claim
1. Packaging of biodegradable material comprising:
- a retractable pouring spout corresponding to a trapezoidal opening in a central region of a lateral wall of the packaging, said trapezoidal opening having a large base, and two sides slanted in opposite directions, said large base being located between upper corners of the packaging, said retractable pouring spout being assembled from an external trapezoidal shape corresponding to said opening and an internal assembly having a central portion about which two lateral wings are articulated by means of lines slanted in directions opposite from the sides of said trapezoidal opening, such that the wings have clearance with said sides, said pouring spout is adapted to be opened without substantial friction of the lateral wings against the sides of the trapezoidal opening, said external trapezoidal shape constituting a grasping tongue for the pouring spout, said lateral wall having two slots above the grasping tongue, said slots defining a spacing having a width sufficiently wide to permit insertion of a human finger, and said width being smaller than the large base of the trapezoidal opening.

Abstract
Packaging of biodegradable material comprising a retractable pouring spout corresponding to a trapezoidal opening in the central region of one wall of the packaging. The large base of the opening is located on the side of the upper corners of the packaging. The retractable pouring spout is assembled from an external trapezoidal shape (19) corresponding to the opening and an internal assembly (24, 37) having a narrowed central portion (26) about which two lateral wings (25a, 25b) are articulated by lines (26a, 26b) oriented in the opposite direction from the sides (13, 15) of the trapezoidal shape (19). As a result, the wings (25a, 25b) have clearance with the sides (13, 15) of the trapezoidal opening (19), and the opening of the pouring spout takes place without friction of the lateral wings against the sides of the trapezoidal opening.
