ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A passive liquid measuring and pouring device adapted for mounting on the open mouth of a liquid container is disclosed. The measuring and pouring device includes an attachment transi- tion adapted to attach the device in sealing relationship to such open mouth of the liquid container, with the attachment transition providing fluid communication between the container and the liquid measuring and pouring device. The device further in- cludes a measuring reservoir having a predetermined volume, and having an inlet port located adjacent its uppermost portion when in its upright position, and a drain hole located near its lower- most portion. The drain hole provides fluid communication be- tween the measuring reservoir and the liquid container. A sub- stantially vertical liquid filling channel provides direct fluid communication between the inlet port of the measuring reservoir and the attachment transition. A dispensing tube has its proximal end attached to the measuring reservoir and is oriented upwardly away from the measuring reservoir at a predetermined angle such that the distal end thereof provides an extended pouring spout for the device. The length and orientation angle of such dispensing tube is sufficient to prevent spillage of liquid held within the measuring reservoir from such dispensing tube when the device is in its upright position, Vent means formed in the device allows air to enter the liquid container during liquid measuring and dispensing procedures, and drip collection means adjacent the distal end of the dispensing tube Insures maximum dispensing and mess control. The drip collection means includes drain-back means for returning residual liquid to the liquid container. Closure means for sealing the measuring and pouring device are also provided.
