Abstract

A spout (10) for being connected to a refill container comprises connection means (12), which comprise a flow pipe (22) for communicating with the interior of the refill container, and a valve type closure (14) for opening and/or closing the flow pipe. An axially displaceable plug (18) seals the flow pipe (22) in a closing position and comprises at least one lateral connection opening (26) for communicating with an outlet orifice (28) of the closure (14) and the flow pipe (22) in an opening position. An operating assembly connected to the closure and the plug allows axial blocking of the closure in the closing position, and unblocking it by rotation, after which the closure (14) is reversibly axially moveable towards an opening position. Thus repeated opening and secure sealing of the spout is possible.
