Abstract:
A filling spout for distributing a liquid to a container, of the type in which the spout has a liquid-distribution passage of at least quasi-annular cross section which generates an umbrella-shaped liquid jet at the outlet orifice, said passage being defined by two roughly parallel and roughly frustoconical facing walls, one of them, the outer one, belonging to a spout body and the other, the inner one, belonging to a central core of conical shape widening toward the aforesaid orifice and supported, by support means inserted between said core and the spout body roughly coaxially in a roughly cylindrical duct defined in the spout body and ending at the aforesaid outer frustoconical wall,wherein said support means comprise a leg which is inserted between said conical core and at least the wall of the cylindrical duct and which runs at least from the tip of the conical central core toward the orifice, wherein the leg is in the shape of a dihedron resting on the wall of the duct and comprising a knife edge coinciding with the axis of the conical central core, and wherein the upstream transverse wall of the leg, which is approximately triangular in shape, is inclined, upward, from the upstream to downstream direction.
