<p>The invention concerns portable liquid containers with improved pouring capabilities. Particularly, there is disclosed a container comprising a body region (1) a hollow handle (3) with first and second ends (4, 5), an outlet spout (6) which communicates with both the body region (1) and the first end of the handle (3) and an elongate pouring tube (2) firmly located and fixed in position relative to the outlet spout (6). The pouring tube (2) has a first end (23) via which the interior of the pouring tube (2) directly communicates with the body region (1) and a second end from which, in use, liquid is dispensed. According to the invention, the interior of the pouring tube (2) forms a first passageway for the exit of liquid from the container, and a second passageway for allowing air to enter into the container is formed by an air gap (x) defined between a second portion (22) of the outer surrounding surface of the pouring tube (2) and the spout (6), air entering the container to replace displaced water, flowing into the air gap (x) and then into handle (3) before entering the body region (1). <IMAGE></p> |
