Dull Bottle Pour Spout Appratus

Abstract

A dull bottle pour spout apparatus for preventing injury while bartending includes a plug core sealingly inserted into a bottle neck of a bottle. A plug top is coupled to the plug core and has a top aperture aligned with a core aperture extending through the plug core. The plug top rests on top of the bottle neck of the bottle. A spout cap has a cap aperture aligned with the core aperture. A spout bottom is coupled to the spout cap and extends from above the plug top through the top aperture and into the core aperture. A spout top is coupled to the spout bottom. The spout top is sufficiently dull and flexible to avoid injury yet sufficiently rigid for accurate pouring. A ventilation tube is coupled to the plug core and the plug top.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A dull bottle pour spout apparatus comprising:
 a plug core having a core top, a core sidewall, and a core bottom, the plug core having a core aperture extending from the core top through the core bottom, the core sidewall being configured to be sealingly inserted into a bottle neck of a bottle;   a plug top coupled to the plug core, the plug top being coupled to the core top and having a diameter greater than the plug core, the plug top having a top aperture aligned with the core aperture, the plug top being configured to rest on top of the bottle neck of the bottle;   a spout cap having a cap top side, a cap bottom side, and a cap aperture extending from the cap top side through the cap bottom side, the cap aperture aligning with the core aperture;   a spout bottom coupled to the spout cap, the spout bottom being selectively engageable with the plug core and the plug top, the spout bottom extending from above the plug top through the top aperture and into the core aperture;   a spout top coupled to the spout bottom, the spout top having a spout sidewall and a spout perimeter, the spout perimeter being sufficiently dull so as to be incapable of cutting human skin, the spout top being elastically deformable under blunt force to avoid injury yet sufficiently rigid for accurate pouring; and   a ventilation tube coupled to the spout bottom of the spout top, the ventilation tube extending from above the plug top through the top aperture and through the core aperture to below the core bottom.   
     
     
         2 . The dull bottle pour spout apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising the spout bottom and the spout top having a depressed tube channel, the ventilation tube being coupled within the tube channel. 
     
     
         3 . The dull bottle pour spout apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising the tube channel having a wider ventilation mouth portion extending into the spout sidewall around a tube top end of the ventilation tube. 
     
     
         4 . The dull bottle pour spout apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising the diameter of the spout cap being greater than the diameter of the plug top. 
     
     
         5 . The dull bottle pour spout apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising the plug core having a plurality of ribs radially extending from the core sidewall. 
     
     
         6 . The dull bottle pour spout apparatus of  claim 5  further comprising the diameter of each rib of the plurality of ribs tapering smaller towards the core bottom. 
     
     
         7 . The dull bottle pour spout apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising the core aperture having a wider base portion adjacent the core bottom. 
     
     
         8 . The dull bottle pour spout apparatus of  claim 7  further comprising the spout bottom extending through the core aperture to adjacent the base portion. 
     
     
         9 . The dull bottle pour spout apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising the spout top tapering thinner towards the spout perimeter. 
     
     
         10 . The dull bottle pour spout apparatus of  claim 9  further comprising the spout top being arcuate. 
     
     
         11 . A dull bottle pour spout apparatus comprising:
 a plug core having a core top, a core sidewall, and a core bottom, the plug core having a core aperture extending from the core top through the core bottom, the core aperture having a wider base portion adjacent the core bottom, the core sidewall being configured to be sealingly inserted into a bottle neck of a bottle, the plug core having a plurality of ribs radially extending from the core sidewall, the diameter of each rib of the plurality of ribs tapering smaller towards the core bottom;   a plug top coupled to the plug core, the plug top being coupled to the core top and having a diameter greater than the plug core, the plug top having a top aperture aligned with the core aperture, the plug top being configured to rest on top of the bottle neck of the bottle;   a spout cap having a cap top side, a cap bottom side, and a cap aperture extending from the cap top side through the cap bottom side, the cap aperture aligning with the core aperture, the diameter of the spout cap being greater than the diameter of the plug top;   a spout bottom coupled to the spout cap, the spout bottom being selectively engageable with the plug core and the plug top, the spout bottom extending from above the plug top through the top aperture and into the core aperture to adjacent the base portion;   a spout top coupled to the spout bottom, the spout top having a spout sidewall and a spout perimeter, the spout top being arcuate and tapering thinner towards the spout perimeter, the spout perimeter being sufficiently dull so as to be incapable of cutting human skin, the spout top being elastically deformable under blunt force to avoid injury yet sufficiently rigid for accurate pouring; and   a ventilation tube coupled to the spout bottom and the spout top, the spout bottom and the spout top having a depressed tube channel, the ventilation tube being coupled within the tube channel, the ventilation tube extending from above the plug top through the top aperture and through the core aperture to below the core bottom, the tube channel having a wider ventilation mouth portion extending into the spout sidewall around a tube top end of the ventilation tube.
