Abstract (en)

A pourer (10) for particulate material, such as soap powder includes a generally horizontal guide wall (12) and a generally vertical stop wall (16). A conduit (18) having a pointed piercing end (22) and sharp edged side walls is mounted to the stop wall (16) for being inserted in a carton by piercing the conduit into the carton with the guide wall (12) resting on the outer top surface (42) of the carton. The piercing action continues until the stop wall (16) contacts the vertical side wall (44) of the carton. The piercing end of the conduit is located remote from the guide wall. A spout (20) is connected outwardly of the stop wall (16) to assist in pouring the contents of the carton. Holes (26) are located in the conduit within the carton so as to facilitate flow of the contents to the spout (20). Projections (30) squeeze into the flap (46) of opened side wall (44) and assure that flap (46) remains against top wall (42) so that it does not impede flow from the carton.
