ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the invention, a liquid dispensing fitment for use on a container having a neck comprises a plastic body which has an inner wall defining an axial spout extending from within the neck of a container and axially beyond the end of the neck. The body has an outer annular wall spaced from the spout and connected to the spout by an integral annular connecting portion. The spout extends axially beyond the outer wall and has an upper generally C-shaped cross section defining an opening and a lower annular cross section. The annular connecting portion is inclined with respect to the axis of the spout and has its lowermost portion aligned with the opening of the C-shaped portion of said spout. The outer wall has an axial opening extending from a position aligned with the juncture of the C-shaped portion and annular portion of the spout through the annular connecting portion to define a combined drain back opening and a near empty pour out hole. The fitment is provided with threads on the upper end of the outer wall for engaging the neck of a container. The lower portion of the spout is substantially smooth in an axial direction to facilitate drain back. The lower portion of the spout has an inner surface formed with an integral axial rib aligned with the axial opening in the outer wall to facilitate manufacture. The outer wall has the portion of the outer wall containing the near empty opening such that it is radially offset from the portion of the outer wall axially below the near empty opening thereby facilitating manufacture of the fitment.
