ABSTRACT:
A container arrangement is disclosed comprising a container having a plurality of partition walls separating the container into three chambers including a filling chamber, a holding chamber and a source chamber. The holding chamber is connected to a container pouring spout for flowable media to flow from the holding chamber to the spout when the container is oriented in a pour position. The filling chamber has entrance openings and exit openings connecting it to the source chamber and holding chamber, respectively. The filling chamber and its openings are disposed for flowable media to flow from the source chamber to the filling chamber when the container is positioned in the pour position and for flowable media to flow from the filling chamber to the holding chamber when the container is disposed in the rest position. The filling chamber ensures that only a metered amount of flowable media can flow to the holding chamber and be available for pouring through the spout thereby prevent overpourage. In a preferred embodiment, the container arrangement comprises a container with an insert therein. Preferably, the insert is formed from two folded panel structures. In preferred embodiments, air vents are provided to facilitate fluid flow.
