Abstract

A plastic pouring spout including a container engaging body portion with a spout portion projecting therefrom and adapted for mounting in juxtaposition to the outer surface of a container within the end confines of the container in retracted position and slidable along the container to a position with the spout portion extended beyond the adjacent end of the container; and in which extended position, the opposite elongate edges of the spout portion may be brought together relative to one another by partial separation from the remnant container engaging body portion adjacent the container end surface to reduce the size of the spout portion for pouring of the container contents into a relatively smaller recipient orifice.
