CONTAINER HAVING IMPROVED POURING CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

A container (10) for containing a flowable substance includes a container body (12), a substantially elliptical opening (16) in the container body (12), and a resealable closure affixed over the opening (16). The container body (12) defines an internal cavity (14) that is adapted to contain the flowable substance therein. The opening (16) is adapted to allow the flowable substance to flow therethrough. The resealable closure is adjustable between an open position, where the flowable substance can flow through the opening (16), and a closed position, where the closure obstructs the opening (16) to prevent the flowable substance from flowing through the opening (16). When the closure is in the open position and the container (10) is substantially filled with the flowable substance, the flowable substance can flow through the opening (16) without interrupting airflow through the opening (16) when the container (10) is tilted over a range of tilt angles of approximately 35 degrees.
