To all 'whom t may concern.' Y

Be it known that l, CHAnrns H. hlowacn,

- a subject of the Emperor of Austria-Huw gary, residing in @ak Park, in the county of Cook and State of Blinois, have invented a new and useful lmprovement in Pouring- Spouts, of which the following is a specication.

'lhis invention relates in general to pourlu ing spouts and has more particular reference to pouringspout-s provided for use on containers for liquids of various' sorts, such as Syrups, oils and the like. Liquids of various sorts are packaged for market in containers L5 having nozzles through which the contents may be poured out by the user. ll'here these liquids are of considerable density, slow pouring of them is dicult without Vsmearing on the container.

Bu lt is a principal object of this invention to provide a spout independent and separable from the nozzle, which may be readily attached by the user after opening the nozzle closure so that accurate pouring may result it and so that any form of closure may be used for the nozzle without requiring special construction by the presence of a spout.

A further obgect of the invention is the provision of a spout-which may be closed Lu'. between its periods of use and which may be operated if desired without particular attention of the consumer, enabling him to merely pour the li uid contents out, such pouring automatica] y opening the spout and closing 5 it when the pouring 1s finished.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a spout of this character which may be cheaply. manufactured and which when positioned will be rmly held in place without necessitating the provision of any threads upon the nozzle or spout.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent as it is better understood from the following ,description Awhen considered ,in connection withthe accompanying drawing illustrating a preferred embodiment thereof.

On the drawing,

Figure l is a perspective view of a nozzle u provided with a spout embodying my invention Fig. 2 isa similar view showing vthe parts separated;

VFig. A3 is a vertical section through the same; and

Fig. 4 is a rear elevation of said spout.

F or the purpose of illustrating my present invention l have shown on the drawing a can or container of general rectangular form, having an upwardly extending nozzle l5 at its top about which may lit a spout C, in which my present invention is incorporated;

'lhe container A is joined to the nozzle by a seam ot any preferred construction and the nozzle extends upwardly thereabove. Near the upper end the nozzle shown on the drawing is pressed inwardly and bumped to provide a attened bead 11 upon which is seated a rangible seal of paper or the like 12. 'lhe upper edge 13 of the nozzle is curled down upon the rangible seal 12 to hold itin place. Such is the arrangement of the con- .tainer shown as it is received, by the consumer filled with any desired contents. Accompanying the container it is intended to furnish a spout which may be in place or may merely be supplied as a separate article, it being preferably, however, sold by the retail dealerpositioned upon the container. This nozzle consists in the present instance of one sheet of metal or the like constituting the body' and a second sheet constituting the cover. The sheet constituting the body is formed into a body part or portion 14 or' cylindrical shape, slightly smaller in internal diameter than the external diameter of the nozzle B. The sheet is divided vertically along the line- 15 to render the spout body yieldingV and enable it to engage tightly about the nozzle. This body is provided -near its upper end with an inwardly extending attened bead 16 extending circumferentially .and adapted to rest upon the curl in the edge 13 of the nozzle, and it may also, if desired, have a second reinforcing bead at or near its bottom. The body extends above the bead 13 and provides a round opening from lwhich the spout proper or lip 1S extends outwardly toward one side, this lip.

being curved. as shown on the drawing to accurately direct the stream or1 flowing liquid. f

The cover 19 is hinged'on a line across the division lextending vertically through the spout body, this hinge in thepresent instance being formed by a pair of lips 21 spaced apart and inserted through two slots 22, one

positioned on each side of the division 15, Y

the ends of the lips being curled up over the liti adjacent edge of the spout body to fornrthe pivotal connection Without the use of a pivot pin, although other construction may be re sorted to Without departing from the spirit of the invention. The lips 21 serve not only to form a pivotal connection but also to retain the ends 23 of the body meeting at the division line together and reinforce the entire structure. The cover 19 is a propriately curved and anged at to t down over the opening through the spout body and also over the lip or spout 18. The division dii line 15 is located preferably diametrically opposite the center of the lip 18, so that when liquid is poured the cover may be lifted suiiciently by the liquid to permit it to pass and when the container is righted to move down into closed position.

it is thought that the invention and many of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it willbe apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the partswithout departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacricing any of its material advantages, the form hereinbefore described being merely a preferred embodiment thereof.

I claim:

v l. A. spout adapted for ready attachment about the nozzle of a container comprising a lip extending outwardly at one side, and a spring iange of sheet metal adapted to engage about said nozzle and having its ends meeting at the rear side of said nozzle opposite to said lip.

2. A. spout adapted to tit upon the nozzle of a container comprising a metal sheet hav ing a cylindrical part separated vertically and yicldingly engageable entirely about said nozzle and terminating in its upper end in an outwardly extending spout.

3. A spout adapted to fit upon the nozzle of a container comprising a metal sheet having a 'cylindrical part separated vertically and yieldingly engageable about said nozzleand terminating 1n its upper end in an outwardly extending spout, and a cover hinged thereto across the line of -vertical separation so as to unite the ends of said cylindrical part.

4. A spout adapted to fit upon the nozzle of a container comprising a metal sheet having a cylindrical part'separated vertically and yieldingly engageable about said nozzle and terminating in-its upper end in an outwardly extending spout, and a cover having a spout-inclosing lip 20 and hinged at the division of said sheet.

5. A spout adapted to tit upon the nozzle of a container comprising a body divided Leonesa said nozzle, and a cover hinged to said body on each side of the line of division so as to unite the divided ends of said bod 6. A spout adapted to fit upon the nozzle of a lcontainer comprising a yielding body adapted to it over said nozzle and having an inwardly extending bead engageable with the top of said nozzle and havin(r an outwardly extending spout above saidj bead.
