ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a sealable pour spout. The pour spout provides a conduit which allows liquid to leave a bottle and a vent which allows air to enter the bottle and replace the liquid. A cap moves vertically along the conduit which provides fluid communication with the interior of the bottle. When the cap is moved upward, the spout opens. A through hole in the side of the cap also allows fluid communication with the interior of the bottle. When the cap is depressed, a stopper occludes the pour hole and closes the spout. The vent is occluded, in the closed position, by the interior surface of the cap. Therefore, the interior of the bottle is completely sealed when the spout is in the closed position.
