20. Pouring spout as claimed in any of the claims 16-18, further comprising a venting channel for supplying air from outside to the liquid container, which channel extends at least partially in the first tubular body, wherein the venting channel is fixedly connected to the second tubular body.
21. Pouring spout as claimed in claim 20, wherein the pouring spout is further embodied as defined in any of the claims 1-16.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A computer implemented method of garment design having certification based on the visibility characteristics of the garment, the method comprising:
(a) obtaining a garment template, said garment template comprising a plurality of individual panels which when assembled together contribute to an overall garment, each panel having an associated area, said garment template including at least one constraint selected from: a constraint requiring at least two of said plurality of panels to have a common visibility value, and a constraint on a maximum area of a specified one or more of said panels which may be overlaid with or replaced by indicia;
(b) obtaining a set of calculation rules associated with said garment template, said set of calculation rules operable to calculate a certification level for said garment template based on at least the area of each panel less the actual or maximum allowed area of any indicia overlaying or replacing said panel, and a value for a visibility characteristic chosen for said panel, and further operable to return no certification level in the event that said at least one constraint is breached;
(c) providing a selection control which is operable to select at least one of a fabric selection and a colour selection for one or more of said panels, said selection determining a visibility value for said panel in said calculation rules;
(d) calculating a certification level for said garment template using said set of calculation rules and said selection; and
(e) generating a garment design based on said selection and having associated therewith said certification level.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein calculating further comprises the presenting said calculated certification level.
