ABSTRACT:
A sanitary drinking spout interiorly attached to a liquid container and extendable therefrom. The container includes a top wall with an aperture sealed by a tear tab. The spout includes a pair of flanges integrally attached together and spaced apart by a flexible center portion. The flanges are interiorly mounted to the top wall on opposite sides of the sealed aperture. The center portion of the spout is projectable when the aperture is opened by tearing the tab sealing the aperture closed. In one embodiment, a finger is mounted interiorly to the tear tab with the spout projecting between the finger and tear tab. Upon removal of the tear tab from the can, the finger forces the spout outwardly through the aperture. In another embodiment, a second aperture is provided on the top wall of the can for allowing air to enter the can facilitating pouring through the spout. In the preferred embodiment, the tear tab is not removed from the top wall but is torn partially from the top wall and bent over adjacent the rim of the container and then against the vertical side wall of the container. The preferred embodiment includes a T-shaped pull attached to the tear tab.
