The spout can be used on a rigid or a nonrigid container. It includes a first member slidingly movable with reference to a second member so as to open and close a valve located at a front end of the spout. In use, the liquid flow can automatically be decreased and even stopped when the receptacle is full. The spout can include an annular outer gasket to create an airtight connection between the spout and the opening of the receptacle during pouring. This allows nonrigid containers to be emptied without collapsing. It also allows any airborne droplets and vapors present in the opening of the receptacle to be drawn into the container with the incoming air during pouring, thereby preventing or minimizing the presence of such droplets and vapors in the surrounding environment.
The vented pouring spout includes a main body and a valve system movable between a normally closed position and a fully opened position. The main body includes a first member and a second member. The valve system includes a valve member and two spaced-apart and parallel stems projecting from an inner side of the valve member into the first member. A push button is mounted within a housing and is in an axial force-transmitting engagement with the stems. The spout, among other things, can include a child-resistant closure (CRC) device that can be operated using a single finger, for instance the thumb or any other finger, and while holding a small container.

The pouring spout includes a first tube detachably connectable to a liquid-storage container, a second tube slideably connected to the first tube, and a liquid outlet duct and an air inlet duct. The liquid outlet duct and the air inlet duct can be both selectively opened and closed by a spring-biased valve system. The air inlet duct, when the valve system is moved from a closed position to an opened position, is initially made in fluid communication with the liquid-storage container only either simultaneously with the liquid outlet duct or immediately after the liquid outlet duct is initially made in fluid communication with the liquid-storage container. This arrangement prevents the liquid from filling the air inlet duct when the liquid is poured using the pouring spout. It also minimizes evaporation and permeability of the liquid on internal surfaces inside the pouring spout.
The device is provided for collecting sap from a tapped hole of a tree. It includes a collector having a substantially frustoconical outer peripheral wall surface and an inner peripheral wall surface. The collector also has a portion that is removably insertable into the tapped hole with a frictional engagement. The material between the peripheral wall surfaces at the removably-insertable collector portion is elastically and temporality deformable in response to a peripheral pressure exerted inwardly on the outer peripheral wall surface when the removably-insertable collector portion is inserted with a forced frictional fit into the tapped hole.

The pouring spout has an inlet tube detachably connectable to a liquid-storage container and an outlet tube slideably connected to the inlet tube. A liquid duct and an air duct are defined into the inlet tube and the outlet tube. A valve system is provided for opening the liquid duct and the air duct when the outlet tube is slideably moved relative to the inlet tube. The liquid duct and the air duct open separately into the liquid-storage container. When pouring, the liquid flows through the liquid duct and air separately enters into the liquid-storage container via the air duct.
