Abstract[English]
A spill-resistant spout and method of injection molding a spill-resistant spout. The spill-resistant spout includes a conduit portion having an exit aperture in fluid communication with a central channel; and a seal portion having a bottom surface, the seal portion secured to the conduit portion and in fluid communication with the central channel, the bottom surface comprising at least two intake apertures configured to receive foodstuffs from a container. The use of multiple intake apertures increases the surface tension on the foodstuffs attempting to pass through the intake apertures while maintaining or increasing the total flow volume of foodstuffs through the spill-resistant spout. Additionally, the barrier qualities of the spill-resistant spout can be enhanced by providing one or more discrete layers of thermoplastic material and one or more layers of barrier material within at least one portion of the spill-resistant spout.[French]
Un bec verseur anti-déversement et un procédé de moulage par injection d'un bec verseur anti-déversement. Le bec verseur anti-déversement comprend une partie conduit ayant une ouverture de sortie en communication fluidique avec un canal central ; et une partie d'étanchéité ayant une surface inférieure, la partie d'étanchéité étant fixée à la partie conduit et en communication fluidique avec le canal central, la surface inférieure comprenant au moins deux ouvertures d'admission conçues pour recevoir des aliments d'un récipient. L'utilisation de multiples ouvertures d'admission augmente la tension de surface sur les aliments qui tentent de passer par les ouvertures d'admission tout en maintenant ou en augmentant le volume d'écoulement total des aliments à travers le bec verseur anti-déversement. De plus, les qualités de barrière du bec verseur anti-déversement peuvent être améliorées par fourniture d’une ou plusieurs couches distinctes de matériau thermoplastique et d’une ou plusieurs couches de matériau barrière à l'intérieur d'au moins une partie du bec verseur anti-déversement.
