Abstract (en)

A drinking spout and closure combination for a beverage container includes a drinking spout (21) constructed and arranged to snap onto a neck of the container (20) and a closure (22) constructed and arranged to snap onto the drinking spout. The neck of the beverage container defines an opening and the neck is shaped with an enlarged annular lip. The spout (21) includes an annular channel having an inwardly protruding ridge that cooperates with the annular lip of the neck for a snap-fit assembly onto the neck. An inner wall of the spout seals against an inner surface of the neck. The closure (85) is an annular generally cylindrical structure with an internally threaded sidewall (86), and the closure is for screwing onto co-operating external threads (84) on the spout.
