Abstract:
Liquid container nozzles including a valve handle, valve body, spool, and spout assembly, where the valve body may move slidingly into the valve handle over the spool to control the flow of liquid through the nozzle. Liquid flow may be controlled by adjusting the position of the valve body in relation to the valve handle and spool using varying force or pressure. The spool may include one or more holes to control the flow of liquid. In some examples of the invention, the spool may narrow in an S-shaped fashion, and the holes of the spool may be located on a portion of the spool that narrows to form S-shaped holes. These holes may swirl liquid as it is poured from the nozzle to create a more uniform flow.

Claim (Index 1):
A liquid container nozzle, comprising:\n a valve handle, wherein the valve handle is a hollow and tubular shape, with a valve handle exterior surface, valve handle interior surface, valve handle first end, and valve handle second end, and wherein the valve handle is hollow with an open valve handle first end and open valve handle second end; a valve body, wherein the valve body is a hollow and tubular shape, with a valve body exterior surface, valve body interior surface, valve body first end, and valve body second end, and wherein the valve body is hollow with an open valve body first end and open valve body second end; wherein\n the valve handle and the valve body are sized such that the valve body may slidingly fit within the valve handle; and wherein \n there is a resistive force that is exerted as the valve body moves slidingly into the valve handle, where the force is exerted in a direction opposite of the sliding movement of the valve body; and \n a spool, wherein the spool is a hollow and tubular shape that varies in diameter and allows the flow of liquid through it, the spool having a spool first end that includes an opening, and a spool second end that is closed, and where the diameter is greater at the spool first end and narrows toward the spool second end in an S-shaped fashion, the spool further comprising;\n at least one spool hole to control and release the flow of liquid through the liquid container nozzle, wherein the at least one spool hole is positioned on a perimeter surface of the spool and is positioned substantially toward the spool second end, wherein the at least one spool hole is located on the perimeter surface at a position over where the spool narrows in an S-shaped fashion, wherein the spool hole is shaped to swirl liquid as it passes through the liquid container nozzle to allow for a quicker, more uniform flow; and \n at least one fin disposed on the perimeter surface of the spool adjacent to the at least one hole, wherein the at least one fin is sized and positioned to further swirl the liquid; and \n a spout assembly, wherein the spout assembly is hollow and tubular and is fitted at a spout first end to the valve body second end such that it is liquid tight, and a spout second end opposite the spout first end, and wherein the spout assembly includes a pour at a spout second end to control liquid flow as liquid is passed through the liquid container nozzle.
