Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8701677A1] A container (1) including a conical shaped neck portion (8) leading to a circular peripheral channel (14) located outwardly of said neck and an outlet (11) from said channel located outwardly thereof, the cross sectional area of said outlet (11) being greater than the cross sectional area of said neck portion (8) thereby providing a shoulder in said neck which in a pouring operation causes liquid flowing from said container to separate from an upper portion of said outlet and a duct (13) communicating between said channel and the interior of the container whereby as liquid empties from the container in a pouring operation the resulting pressure differential arising between the interior of the container adjacent the inlet of said duct and the atmosphere draws air in an unimpeded manner into said container.
