Abstract

A pouring device 2 which can be attached to or moulded with a container (4, fig 3) has means to control the flow of material from the container and means to seal the container after use. The pourer, which may be conical in form, has a hollow chamber provided with a dispensing outlet (5, fig 2). A sliding closure (6, fig 4) is movable along rails (7, fig 4) to selectively open or close the dispensing outlet and an outer hinged closure 1 may also be provided. A restrictor or baffle may be provided within the pourer as a means of controlling flow from the container, either in place of or in addition to the sliding closure. The pourer may have a filter or mesh as a further means of controlling flow. A removable foil 3 may be provided to seal the dispensing outlet prior to initial opening.

Description

HOLLOW POURER
This invention relates to a hollow pourer that is attached, inserted, moulded etc to a carton, cylinder, box, packaging etc. The hollow pourer allows the person to easily open up the carton, cylinder, box, packaging in order to gain access to the fluid ( e.g. milk, juice, mineral water, wine, cooking oil, etc) or mass ( e.g. cereals, washing powder, gravy granules, frozen food).
The hollow pourer will also help the person to control the amount of fluid or mass when pouring out the fluid or mass from the hollow pourer of the carton, cylinder, box, packaging etc. The hollow pourer will also help the person to stop unwanted smells from further going inside the carton, cylinder, box, packaging etc. In the market place there a variety of cartons, cylinders, box, packaging that hold all types of fluid or mass. One type is a carton where the person uses a knife, their fingers, scissors to gain access to the fluid ( e.g. juice, milk etc). Unfortunately when opening up this type of carton could cause spillage, which is very annoying to the person, it can also be very difficult to open especially if the person is elderly or disabled.
Also this type of carton that displays fluid or mass e.g. can not stop smells from going inside it.
There are other types of cartons that contains juice, milk, wine etc. The person would again access to the fluid ( juice, milk, wine etc) by opening up a plastic tab, lid etc and then removing a foil. The person could also gain access to the fluid by unscrewing a cap etc to gain access to the fluid e.g. juice, fabric conditioner, wine etc. The person could also gain access to a carton eta by opening the top by their hands or by scissors etc. Unfortunately it can be difficult to open and the person cannot also easily control the amount of fluid or mass. The person can also gain access to a box that contains cereals, washing powder.
Unfortunately the person cannot control the amount of flow of cereals or washing powder. - 2 -
The person can also gain access to the contents by a type of packaging ( that could contain frozen food etc) by using their hands or by scissors etc. Unfortunately the person when pouring out the contents ( e.g. stirfry, frozen peas etc) the person cannot easily control the amount of mass, etc. Also the person cannot easily seal up the packaging that could spill over and allow further smells.
It is the aim of the hollow pourer to address the afore mentioned problems by allowing the person to easily open up the contents of the fluid, mass of the carton, cylinder, box, packaging to gain access to the fluid or mass.
The hollow pourer will help the person to control the amount of flow of fluid or mass when pouring from the hollow pourer. The hollow pourer will also enable the person to seal up the contents of the fluid or mass thus to stop spillage or further smells from going to the mass or fluid.
Brief description of the illustrations
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying diagrams comprising the following Figure 1 Front perspective view of the pourer slider closed Figure 2 Front perspective view of pourer slider open Figure 3 Pourer attached to a carton Figure 4 Plan view of the pourer Figure 5 Side internal view of pourer Figure 6 Rear plan view of the pourer Referring to figure 1 The lid 1 has a outer moulded lip, grove eta that allows the lid 1 to fit on to the top of the hollow pourer 2.
The lid 1 can be manufactured has a one component ( e.g. plastic etc) and then be attached to the top of the hollow pourer by hand or by a suitable machine. The lid 1 can also form part of the body of the pourer 2. The hollow pourer body 2 is manufactured from a suitable material e.g. plastic etc. The hollow pourer 2 and its inner components can be manufactured in a variety of different sizes and lengths, depths in order fit the requirements of the carton, cylinder, box, packaging 4 etc. The foil 3 is attached, welded, inserted by machine etc to the top of the hollow pourer 2. The person would open up the lid 1 and then remove the foil 3 either by their fingers, scissors or knife etc. The pourer 2 is manufactured, moulded, inserted, by hand, machine to a carton, cylinder, box 4, etc. Has the foil 3 is removed the person is able to see the contents of the fluid or mass by the hollow section 5 of the hollow pourer 2.
Referring to figure 2 the moving slider 6 is manufactured from a suitable material e.g. plastic, etc. The moving slider 6 is attached along side the rails 7 of the hollow pourer 2 either by hand or by machine. The rails 7 is designed to allow the moving slider 6 that has a grip in order to enable the person to move the moving slider 6 forwards or backwards in a limited direction. The moving slider 3 is situated on top of a cover 8 that forms part of the body of the pourer 2. The moving slider 6 moved along the rails 7 over the body of the cover 8. Has the moving slider 6 moves over the cover 8 the moving slider 6 will cover up the hollow section 5 in order to cover up the contents of the fluid or mass. The moving slider 6 is clipped, attached to the closing device 9 and the lid 1 closed onto the top of the pourer 2 will stop fluid or mass from escaping or leaking from the pourer.
Referring to figure 6 the hollow section 5 is designed in its shape ( e.g. cone, circular etc) to help to control the fluid or mass when from exiting the carton, cylinder, box, packaging etc 4.
The hollow section 5 is designed to that it has a filter, mesh that helps to control the fluid or mass when from exiting the carton, cylinder, box, packaging 4. The flow or fluid or mass is controlled by entering the opening of a hollow section 5 that its opening hole is reduced in size and by its walls increasing in size e.g. by a cone design etc. Has the fluid or mass travels through the hollow cone design etc 5 the hollow cone design 5 helps to controls the flow of fluid or mass. Thus the pourer will help the person to control the amount of flow of fluid or mass by slowly holding the carton, cylinder, box, packaging eta 4 and then turning it at an angle so that they via the moving slider 6 ( to help control amount of flow of fluid or mass) from the opening of the hollow pourer 2. 4 -
The hollow section 5 can also be designed so that in its body it has a restrictor e.g. a plastic etc material that would act has a baffle. The baffle would help to control the amount of flow of fluid or mass.
The hollow pourer 2 can also be designed so that its hollow section 5 can help to control the amount of flow of fluid or mass without having to use a moving slider 6.
The hollow pourer 2 can also be designed so that hollow section 5 can help to control the amount of flow of liquid or mass by having a restrictor e.g. a baffle without the hollow pourer having to have a moving slider 6.
The hollow pourer 2 can also be designed so that it has a moving slider that will help to control the amount of flow of fluid or mass.
