Abstract:
A pouring device for pouring material from a container and method of using same are disclosed. The pouring device is movable between open and closed configurations. An embodiment provides a pouring device that includes a main body which comprises a main body portion, an attachment portion, and at least two hinges which connect to at least two movable walls extending angularly from the main body to form a conduit when the pouring device is in the open configuration. Another embodiment provides a pouring device that has a central portion rigidly connecting two walls. The attachment portion is placed within the container below an upper plane of a rim of the container. Embodiments foster a pouring solution that can be easily and quickly mounted within a container and that allows a user to close the container while the pouring device is mounted entirely within the container.

Claim (Index 1):
A pouring device for pouring material from a container, the pouring device being movable between a closed configuration and an open configuration different from the closed configuration, the pouring device comprising:\n an attachment portion, wherein the attachment portion is configured to be attached to a portion of the container when the pouring device is in the closed and open configurations; and at least two walls hingedly coupled to a main body portion via at least two hinges; wherein at least a portion of the at least two walls extends exteriorly from the container when the pouring device is in the open configuration, wherein the at least two walls extend from the main body portion to form at least a portion of a conduit when the pouring device is in the open configuration, and wherein the material from the container is capable of flowing through the conduit when the pouring device is in the open configuration; wherein the at least two walls retract when the pouring device is in the closed configuration; and wherein the at least two walls are not substantially planar when the pouring device is in the open configuration, and wherein the at least two walls are substantially planar when the pouring device is in the closed configuration.
