Abstract

A pouring spout assembly for pouring fluid from a bottle without spillage includes a spout that is attachable to a bottle to pour a fluid contained in the bottle. A trigger is movably integrated into the spout that can be depressed by a user and the trigger is biased into an up-depressed position. A disk is coupled to the trigger such that the disk is positioned within the spout. The disk closes the spout when the trigger is not depressed to inhibit the fluid from pouring outwardly through the spout. Conversely, the disk opens the spout when the trigger is depressed to facilitate the liquid to pour from the spout.
