Abstract

A pouring element for a composite packaging, in particular a beverage carton for liquid foodstuffs is shown and described, comprising a basic body having a fastening flange and a pouring tube, a cutting element which is arranged and guided in the pouring tube and a closure cap which can be joined to the basic body, wherein during actuation for the first time, the cutting element can be driven by first drive means formed on the closure cap and by second drive means formed on the inner wall of the cutting element and wherein the movement of the cutting element follows different gradients, and a composite packaging is also shown and described, in particular a beverage carton for liquid foodstuffs, having a pack gable-top panel which is suitable for receiving a pouring element. In order to improve the drive and guidance of the cutting element during opening of the composite packaging, simultaneously with optimised producibility, and to facilitate the opening of the composite packaging in the region of a weakening in the pack material, it is provided that the second drive means is configured as a rib which runs obliquely and includes an angle with the longitudinal direction, and that th…
