ABSTRACT:
A container for dispensing pourable materials, ideally liquids, having a cup-shaped lower portion with a bottom wall and a continuous upstanding peripheral wall terminating at an upper edge, a seal engaging the upper edge in a liquid type manner, a pouring spout extending upwardly from the seal, an upstanding wall integral with the seal and surrounding the pouring spout, a small opening in the bottom of the wall which permits any liquid collected within the area inside the wall to drain through the hole and into the cup-shaped portion, and a pivotally mounted cap movable from an open position (to permit liquid to be dispensed from the pouring spout) to a position over the pouring spout to seal the pouring spout and the wall opening from the atmosphere. The cap is maintained in the open position by a portion of the pivoting mechanism engaging the top of the seal in a cam-like action.
