A pour spout assembly for providing a pour spout attachable to a bottle and including a cap securable to the pour spout between uses. The pour spout assembly includes a spout member having an attachment portion adapted for coupling to various sizes of bottle openings. The spout member further includes exterior threading on an outer perimeter of a spout portion extending from the bottle when the spout member is attached to the bottle. A cap member is provided for covering the spout portion of the spout member. The cap member has threading on an interior surface complimentary to the threading on the spout portion of the spout member to permit securing of the cap member to the spout member.

1. A pour spout assembly comprising: a pour spout member having a connection portion adapted for insertion into an opening of a bottle whereby said pour spout member is coupled to the bottle, said pour spout member further having a spout portion extending from the connection portion and a conduit

1. A pour spout assembly comprising: a pour spout member having a connection portion adapted for insertion into an opening of a bottle whereby said pour spout member is coupled to the bottle, said pour spout member further having a spout portion extending from the connection portion and a conduit passing through said pour spout member such that said pour spout member is adapted for permitting pouring of contents of the bottle through said pour spout member; a cap member, said cap member having a closed top and a perimeter wall extending from a perimeter edge of said closed top, an interior surface of said closed top being threaded; an exterior surface of said spout portion being threaded, said pour spout threads being complimentary to said threading of said cap member whereby said cap member is securable to said spout portion of said pour spout member; an annular lip member extending outwardly from said pour spout member between said connection portion and said spout portion, a bottom of said perimeter wall of said cap member abutting said annular lip when said cap member is fully secured to said pour spout member for preventing leakage between said pour spout member and said cap member; and a reinforcing ring coupled to said connection portion and positioned adjacent to said annular lip for supporting said annular lip. 2. The pour spout assembly of claim 1, further comprising: said pour spout member including a venting duct extending through said pour spout member, said venting duct being positioned proximate an outer edge of said pour spout member to permit tilting of the pour spout member such that an end of said venting duct is positioned above a surface of contents of the bottle when tilted to pour contents of the bottle through said conduit. 3. The pour spout assembly of claim 1, further comprising: said connection portion of said pour spout member including an interior wall and a plurality of annular flanges extending outwardly from said interior wall such that said annular flanges are adapted for frictionally engaging an interior surface of the bottle when the connection portion is inserted into the bottle whereby said connection portion is coupled to the bottle. 4. The pour spout assembly of claim 3, further comprising: each of said annular flanges having a unique diameter with respect to each other annular flange, said annular flanges being arranged in spaced relationship to each other by increasing diameter moving from a distal end of said connection portion to a proximal end of said connection portion. 5. The pour spout assembly of claim 4, further comprising: an annular lip member extending outwardly from said pour spout member between said connection portion and said spout portion, a bottom of said perimeter wall of said cap member abutting said annular lip when said cap member is fully secured to said pour spout member for preventing leakage between said pour spout member and said cap member; and said annular lip member having a diameter greater than an adjacently positioned one of said annular flanges for facilitating grasping of said annular lip when removing and inserting said pour spout member. 6. The pour spout assembly of claim 2, further comprising: said venting duct having a distal portion extending downwardly from a bottom of said connection portion. 7. The pour spout assembly of claim 1, further comprising: an upper portion of said conduit being curved for directing contents of the bottle outwardly from said pour spout member at an acute angle relative to a longitudinal axis of a substantially straight portion of said conduit. 8. A pour spout assembly comprising: a pour spout member having a connection portion adapted for insertion into an opening of a bottle whereby said pour spout member is coupled to the bottle, said pour spout member further having a spout portion extending from the connection portion and a conduit passing through said pour spout member such that sai d pour spout member is adapted for permitting pouring of contents of the bottle through said pour spout member; a cap member, said cap member having a closed top and a perimeter wall extending from a perimeter edge of said closed top, an interior surface of said closed top being threaded; an exterior surface of said spout portion being threaded, said pour spout threads being complimentary to said threading of said cap member whereby said cap member is securable to said spout portion of said pour spout member; said pour spout member including a venting duct extending through said pour spout member, said venting duct being positioned proximate an outer edge of said pour spout member to permit tilting of the pour spout member such that an end of said venting duct is positioned above a surface of contents of the bottle when tilted to pour contents of the bottle through said conduit; said connection portion of said pour spout member including an interior wall and a plurality of annular flanges extending outwardly from said interior wall such that said annular flanges are adapted for frictionally engaging an interior surface of the bottle when the connection portion is inserted into the bottle whereby said connection portion is coupled to the bottle; an annular lip member extending outwardly from said pour spout member between said connection portion and said spout portion, a bottom of said perimeter wall of said cap member abutting said annular lip when said cap member is fully secured to said pour spout member for preventing leakage between said pour spout member and said cap member; each of said annular flanges having a unique diameter with respect to each other annular flange, said annular flanges being arranged in spaced relationship to each other by increasing diameter moving from a distal end of said connection portion to a proximal end of said connection portion; said annular lip member having a diameter greater than an adjacently positioned one of said annular flanges for facilitating grasping of said annular lip when removing and inserting said pour spout member; said venting duct having a distal portion extending downwardly from a bottom of said connection portion; an upper portion of said conduit being curved for directing contents of the bottle outwardly from said pour spout member at an acute angle relative to a longitudinal axis of a substantially straight portion of said conduit; and a reinforcing ring coupled to said connection portion and positioned adjacent to said annular lip for supporting said annular lip.
