Abstract

A container closure and pouring device comprises a cap with a hollow interior defined by a cylindrical wall having internal threads and a number of inlet ports. The cap receives a spout formed with external threads which is movable between a closed position in which it seals the inlet ports and is threaded into engagement with the cap, and an open position wherein the inlet ports of the cap are uncovered allowing liquid from a container to pass into the spout for pouring.
