Abstract:

A passive liquid measuring and pouring device adapted for mounting on the open mouth of a liquid container. The measuring and pouring device includes an attachment transition adapted to attaach the device in sealing relationship to the open mouth of the liquid container. The attachment transition provides fluid communication between the container and the liquid measuring and pouring device. The device further includes a measuring reservoir having a predetermined volume, and has an inlet port located adjacent its uppermost portion when in its upright position, and a drain hole located near its lowermost portion. The drain hole provides fluid communication between the measuring reservoir and the liquid container. A substantially vertical liquid filling channel provides direct fluid communication between the inlet port of the measuring reservoir and the attachment transition. A dispensing tube has its proximal end attached to the measuring reservoir and is oriented upwardly away from the measuring reservoir at a predetermined angle such that the distal end thereof provides an extended pouring spout for the device.

Abstract:

A tray/shroud shipping container which is convertible to a display container upon removal of the shroud. The container is preassembled before being filled with packaged goods from two separate blanks which are joined together to form the container. The container is made from a tray blank for forming the tray and a shroud blank for forming the shroud. The shroud telescopes within the tray and is releasably secured within the tray and covers and protects the packaged goods. The container includes two diagonally opposing vertical fold lines which comprise two substantially parallel lines of weakness. The lines of weakness of each pair are spaced apart by distances least as great as the thickness of the container so that the container can be folded along the lines of weakness thereby collapsing the container to a generally flat condition.
