A combination pour spout and lid assembly includes pour spout having a lower portion extending radially across the inner and outer edges of the paint can and includes a locking ridge extending downwardly and inwardly therefrom. A sealing ridge is inwardly spaced from the locking ridge and extends downwardly from the lower portion. The sealing ridge has a notch for receiving the inner edge of the paint can. The pour spout further includes an upper portion integral with the lower portion and defines an obliquely shaped lip. The upper portion further includes a flange portion integral therewith and extending radially outward therefrom. A lid is sized and shaped to cover the pour spout. The lid has substantially planar top and bottom surfaces and a sidewall portion integral therewith and extending downwardly therefrom. The sidewall portion includes a ridge portion integral therewith and extending downwardly and inwardly therefrom.

What is claimed as new and what is desired to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is: 1. A combination pour spout and lid assembly attachable to paint cans and like containers for assisting a user to pour fluid therefrom, said assembly comprising: a pour spout removably attachable to a top opening of the paint can and comprising a lower portion extending radially outwardly from a perimeter thereof, said lower portion having a diameter greater than a diameter of said pour spout, said lower portion comprising a locking ridge extending downwardly and inwardly for engaging an outer edge of the paint can, and a sealing ridge inwardly spaced from said locking ridge and extending downwardly from said lower portion for engaging an inner edge of the paint can; said pour spout further comprising an upper portion monolithically formed with said lower portion and extending upwardly therefrom, said upper portion defining an obliquely shaped lip for directing fluid outwardly and away from the paint can while preventing fluid from contacting the outer edge of the paint can, said upper portion further including a flange portion integral therewith and extending radially outward therefrom, said upper portion having a circumference less than a circumference of said lower portion, said sealing ridge extending about an outer perimeter of said pour spout; said lower portion having a planar top surface horizontally extending away from said top surface and terminating above the outer edge of the paint can; and a lid being sized and shaped to cover said pour spout and effectively prevent fluids from exiting the paint can, said lid having substantially planar top and bottom surfaces and a sidewall portion monolithically formed therewith and extending orthogonally and downwardly therefrom, said sidewall portion including a ridge portion monolithically formed therewith and extending downwardly and inwardly therefrom, said ridge portion being removably securable to said flange portion of said upper portion. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said sealing ridge has a notch for receiving the inner edge of the paint can and for preventing fluid from exiting the paint can via non-spout routes during operating conditions. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said pour spout and said lid are formed from plastic material. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said lid and said pour spout have a generally tear drop shape to prevent fluid from exiting a container during non-operating conditions. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein said lower portion extends radially across the inner and outer edges of the paint can. 6. A combination pour spout and lid assembly attachable to paint cans and like containers for assisting a user to pour fluid therefrom, said assembly comprising: a pour spout removably attachable to a top opening of the paint can and comprising a lower portion extending radially outwardly from a perimeter thereof, said lower portion having a diameter greater than a diameter of said pour spout, said lower portion comprising a locking ridge extending downwardly and inwardly for engaging an outer edge of the paint can, said locking ridge being removably securable to the outer edge of the paint can, and a sealing ridge inwardly spaced from said locking ridge and extending downwardly from said lower portion for engaging an inner edge of the paint can; said pour spout further comprising an upper portion monolithically formed with said lower portion and extending upwardly therefrom, said upper portion defining an obliquely shaped lip for directing fluid outwardly and away from the paint can while preventing the fluid from contacting the outer edge of the paint can, said upper portion further including a flange portion monolithically formed therewith and extending radially outward therefrom, said upper portion having a circumference less than a circumference of said lower portion, said sealing ridge extending about an outer perimeter of said pour spout; said lower portion having a planar top surface horizontally extending away from said top surface and terminating above the outer edge of the paint can; and a lid being sized and shaped to cover said pour spout and effectively prevent fluids from exiting the paint can, said lid having substantially planar top and bottom surfaces and a sidewall portion monolithically formed therewith and extending orthogonally and downwardly therefrom, said sidewall portion including a ridge portion monolithically formed therewith and extending downwardly and inwardly therefrom, said ridge portion being removably securable to said flange portion of said upper portion. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein said sealing ridge has a notch for receiving the inner edge of the paint can and for preventing fluid from exiting the paint can via non-spout routes during operating conditions. 8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein said pour spout and said lid are formed from plastic material. 9. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein said lid and said pour spout have a generally tear drop shape to prevent fluid from exiting a container during non-operating conditions. 10. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein said lower portion extends radially across the inner and outer edges of the paint can. 11. A combination pour spout and lid assembly attachable to paint cans and like containers for assisting a user to pour fluid therefrom, said assembly comprising: a pour spout removably attachable to a top opening of the paint can and comprising a lower portion extending radially outwardly from a perimeter of said top opening, said lower portion having a diameter greater than a diameter of said pour spout, said lower portion comprising a locking ridge being integral therewith and extending downwardly and inwardly for engaging an outer edge of the paint can, said locking ridge being removably securable to an outer edge of the paint can, and a sealing ridge inwardly spaced from said locking ridge and extending downwardly from said lower portion for engaging an inner edge of the paint can; said pour spout further comprising an upper portion monolithically formed with said lower portion and extending upwardly therefrom, said upper portion defining an obliquely shaped lip for directing fluid outwardly and away from the paint can while preventing the fluid from contacting the outer edge of the paint can, said upper portion further including a flange portion integral therewith and extending radially outward therefrom along a substantially orthogonal plane, said upper portion having a circumference less than a circumference of said lower portion, said sealing ridge extending about an outer perimeter of said pour spout; said lower portion having a planar top surface horizontally extending away from said top surface and terminating above the outer edge of the paint can; and a lid being sized and shaped to cover said pour spout and effectively prevent fluids from exiting the paint can, said lid having substantially planar top and bottom surfaces and a sidewall portion monolithically formed therewith and extending orthogonally and downwardly therefrom, said sidewall portion including a ridge portion monolithically formed therewith and extending downwardly and inwardly therefrom, said ridge portion being removably securable to said flange portion of said upper portion. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein said sealing ridge has a notch for receiving the inner edge of the paint can and for preventing fluid from exiting the paint can via non-spout routes during operating conditions. 13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein said pour spout and said lid are formed from plastic material. 14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein said lid and said pour spout have a generally tear drop shape to prevent fluid from exiting a container during non-operating conditions. 15. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein said lower portion extends radially across the inner and outer edges of the paint can.
