ABSTRACT:
A dispensing container is disclosed herein with an improved collapsible pouring spout. The container, preferably a blow molded container, has at least one side wall with a nestable dispensing spout secured thereto. Most preferably a wall, top and spout are integral having been blow molded with a bottom being provided by way of a metal cap or the like and applied during the filling operation. Initially the pouring spout is nested within the container and is extractable to a dispensing position. The nestable dispensing spout has a bellows section therealong about which the spout partially everts from a nested to an extended position and vice versa, with the bellows section containing a series of progressively smaller pleats from bottom to top. At least certain of the pleats have circumferentially compressible sections therearound which may be protrusions, detents or both. The protrusions and/or detents permit a circumferential compression and thus a reduction of an outside or inside diameter of same, depending upon the type section that is employed. Partial eversion of the spout is thus fostered. A cover is secured to the top of the pouring spout and is removeable therefrom to permit dispensing. The cover may be adapted to be replaceable after removal from the spout to reclose and/or reseal same.
