LOOSE MATERIAL DISPENSING SYSTEM

摘要

An assembly and method of dispensing loose fill material from the interior of a container in which the loose fill material is originally packaged and/or transported. A spout body at least partially defining a material flow path is connected to an access opening formed in the container. An inlet on the body communicates with the flow path and is disposed through the access opening in receiving relation to the loose fill material. A flow regulating structure is movable from a closed position to an open position, thereby facilitating dispensing of the loose fill material through the spout. A suspension device may be attached to an exterior of the container to mount it on a support structure, thereby facilitating gravity flow of the loose fill material from the container interior, through and out of the outlet, to any of a plurality of intended locations.

主权项

1. An assembly for dispensing loose fill material from a container, said assembly comprising:
a spout including a body having a hollow interior structured to at least partially define a flow path of the loose fill material through said body, said body comprising an inlet and an outlet both disposed in communicating relation to said flow path, said flow path, said inlet and said outlet relatively disposed and cooperatively dimensioned to facilitate passage of the loose fill material along said flow path from an interior of the container, a connecting structure disposed on said body and structured to attached said body in an operative position on the container, said operative position comprising said inlet disposed in communicating relation with an interior of said container and in receiving relation to the loose fill material therein, and a flow regulating structure movably connected to said body and disposable into and out of a flow restricting orientation relative to said flow path.
