Abstract
A spout for a container, wherein the spout includes a spout body and a spout counterpart. The spout body has a first zone, and the spout counterpart has a final zone. In the final position of the spout, an outlet opening arranged on the spout is open, providing a liquid communication through the spout body to and through the outlet opening. The final zone features a first subzone and a second subzone, arranged free of mutual overlap, allowing the spout to be arranged in its final position in two different configurations: a first configuration of the final position, where a reference subzone of the first zone is arranged to physically interact with the first subzone, and a second configuration of the final position, where the reference subzone is arranged to physically interact with the second subzone.
