Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018114513A1] The invention relates to a pouring closure for a liquid container, comprising a pour spout (10) which can be sealingly fixed to a container neck and the cross-section of which is closed by a membrane (1) prior to use. A membrane (1) part (1') which extends transversely over the membrane (1) and which is approximately pear-shaped in plan view is connected to the remaining part of the membrane via an easily tearable line of weakness (2) and can be detached from the membrane (1) so as to release a membrane (1) opening (5), which is correspondingly pear-shaped in plan view, after the detachment such that liquid can be poured selectively out of the relatively narrower section (6) or the relatively wider section (7) of the pear-shaped opening (5) according to the orientation of the container upon tilting the container. The aim of the invention is to provide a pouring closure for liquid containers of the aforementioned type, wherein the pour opening can be produced in a well-controlled and well-defined manner by detaching a membrane section, and the metered pour of the liquid is further simplified in said liquid containers. This is achieved in that the membrane (1) has webs (8) on the inner face of the membrane with a narrow spacing parallel to the line of weakness (2) and outside of the detachable section, said webs extending away from the membrane surface and inwards substantially transverse to the membrane surface and running on both sides of the narrow section (6) of the detachable part (1') or the opening (5) and along at least one part of a transition region (9) between the narrower and the wider section.
