MEASURING CONTAINER WITH MODIFIED POUR-SPOUT AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SAME

摘要

MEASURING CONTAINER WITH MODIFIED POUR SPOUT AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FILLING THE SAME This invention relates to improvements in a container for measuring discrete quantities of poured-out liquid, which comprises a primary storage container, a measuring head, and a modified pour-spout, formed as a unitary body. The improvements include a first embodiment having a single pour-out mouth, also serving as a filler opening, wherein a removable insert plug formed integrally with the modified pour-spout is interposed into the neck between the measuring head and the primary container. In a second embodiment including a single pour-out opening, and a removable plug between the measuring head and the primary storage container, the modified pour-spout is formed integrally at the back of the measuring head by a compression-molding process. In another embodiment, having a single pour-out opening, an annular bulge interposed in the neck between the measuring head and the primary storage container provides an orifice for filling, and is collapsed to provide closure. In another embodiment having a separate filler opening and a closed neck, the modified pour-spout is compression-molded.
