POUR ASSEMBLY FOR A BOTTLE OR CONTAINER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240034521 titled 'POUR ASSEMBLY FOR A BOTTLE OR CONTAINER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a pour assembly designed to protect a pourer for a bottle from contamination. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The pour assembly includes a rod that extends between a protector and a stop.
  • The rod can be inserted through the pourer, and the protector engages and blocks the spout of the pourer when the bottle is upright.
  • A retention member is received around an air return of the pourer and partially around the rod.
  • When the bottle is turned to complete a pour, the protector moves away from the spout.
  • The movement of the rod is limited by the stop encountering the retention member during a pour.

Potential Applications of this Technology:

  • This pour assembly can be used in various industries where contamination of the pourer is a concern, such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and chemical manufacturing.
  • It can be applied to different types of bottles, including those used for liquids, powders, or granular substances.

Problems Solved by this Technology:

  • Contamination of the pourer can occur when the bottle is not in use or during transportation. This pour assembly prevents contaminants from entering the pourer and ensures the integrity of the contents.

Benefits of this Technology:

  • The pour assembly provides a simple and effective way to protect the pourer from contamination.
  • It can be easily installed and removed, allowing for convenient use and maintenance.
  • The limited movement of the rod ensures that the pourer remains protected during a pour, maintaining the quality of the contents.
  • The pour assembly can be adapted to different bottle designs and sizes, making it versatile and adaptable to various applications.


Original Abstract Submitted

a pour assembly to protect a pourer for a bottle from contamination. the pour assembly may include a rod that extends between a protector and a stop. the rod may be inserted through the pourer such that the protector engages and blocks the spout of the pourer when the bottle is in an upright position. a retention member may be received around an air return of the pourer and also at least partially around the rod. when the bottle is turned to complete a pour, the protector may be moved away from the spout. the movement of the rod may be limited to a predefined distance due to the stop encountering the retention member during a pour.
