ABSTRACT:
A telescoping nozzle assembly adapted to be secured to the pouring opening of a container to facilitate pouring of fluid from the container includes a base member adapted to be received in the container pouring opening. A helically formed member is provided having an end portion secured to the base member and an opposite end portion shaped in the form of a pull-tab member. The helically formed member is extendible from a normally collapsed helical condition within the container pouring opening to an elongated helical condition. A resilient covering surrounds the helically formed member and is extendible with the helically formed member from the normally collapsed helical condition to the elongated helical condition. The resilient covering has a bottom surface portion sealingly connected with the base member, and an open top surface portion which defines a generally circular opening in the resilient covering. In order to dispense fluid from the container through the telescoping nozzle assembly, the pull-tab member is grasped and pulled in a direction away from the pouring opening in the container to extend the helically formed member and resilient covering from the normally collapsed helical condition to the elongated helical condition. Extending the helically formed member and resilient covering forms a hollow interior portion within the resilient covering through which fluid is dispensed. After pouring is completed, the pull-tab member is released to allow the helically formed member and resilient covering to automatically collapse into the container pouring opening.
