Pour connector and pour port structure of liquid container
A guide piece having a guide surface is integrally formed in a body portion so as to protrude from an inner circumferential wall surface of a pour passage toward the center thereof. A gas guide portion is formed in a portion of the pour passage in which the guide piece is formed. The gas guide portion is defined by a lower surface of the guide piece and the inner circumferential wall surface of the pour passage. When the pour connector is connected to the pour port of the liquid container to use the same, a projection edge of the guide piece is positioned below its base portion on the inner circumferential wall surface of the pour passage in the gravitational direction, so that the liquid poured into the pour passage can flow toward the center while it is guided by the guide surface, whereas the gas guide portion is positioned above the projection edge of the guide piece in the gravitational direction, so that gases in the container can be discharged from circumferential ends of the gas guide portion in a direction opposite to the pour direction.
