ABSTRACT:
A device for use with a liquid container to control the flow of liquid poured from the container so as to eliminate dribbling or flow along the outer surface of the container, i.e., to eliminate the "teapot effect". The device has a spoon-shaped lower surface and is positioned near the upper edge of the container with a portion of such surface normally below the lip so that, when the receptacle is tilted, the liquid will contact the spoon-shaped surface before reaching the lip. Thus, the liquid flows along the surface and outwardly from the container rather than over and downwardly from the lip. The spoon-shaped surface also provides a guide for liquid returning to the container when the latter returns to its upright position after being tilted during pouring. Several embodiments of the device are disclosed.
