US Patent 9598209 Cap and spout assembly with positive orientation features

A food containment and dispensing system includes a collapsible pouch forming a cavity to contain a food product. A spout fitment is coupled to the collapsible pouch and includes a spout that extends from the collapsible pouch. A spout thread extends radially from the spout. The spout thread starts at a spout rib, which defines a spout rib contact surface. A cap is in threaded engagement with the spout, and it includes a cylindrical wall. A cap thread extends radially from the cylindrical wall and terminates at a cap rib, which defines a cap rib contact surface that is in contact with the spout rib contact surface to prevent further rotation of the cap with respect to the spout.
