Abstract
A container is provided which includes a dry pocket nozzle receptacle for storing a pouring implement such as a nozzle. The nozzle receptacle comprises a generally cylindrical tube for accommodating a nozzle. The tube includes a threaded proximal portion having an aperture for receiving the nozzle, and a cap, which is flexibly attached to the proximal portion of the tube, for sealing the tube so as to prevent environmental exposure to the nozzle and residual container contents. In one embodiment, the nozzle receptacle is an integral part of the container, while another embodiment provides a separate device which may be used with existing containers. Yet another embodiment includes an integral frustoconical portion disposed within the cap and a similar frustoconical portion disposed within the distal end of the tube for sealing the interior of the nozzle when it is situated within the tube during storage.
