Closure assembly having a spout with a thicker band for spout directing

摘要

A closure assembly (20) for a container, the container including a raised outlet (27) defining a dispensing opening, includes a closure body (22) having a nestable and extendable spout formed with a generally cylindrical section (53), a frustoconical section (54), and a transitioning region, including an invertible fold (48), located between these two sections so as to enable the closure body to be either nested or extended. The generally cylindrical section defines an outlet opening and a threaded closing cap (23) is assembled to the generally cylindrical section for closing off the outlet opening. A retainer (24) is used for connecting the closure body to the raised outlet wall and the frustoconical section includes a thicker wall portion for enabling the spout to maintain a selected orientation upon deflection into the selected orientation in order to provide directional discharge of the container contents.
