Abstract
A container configured to hold liquid contents includes a sidewall defining a longitudinal axis having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, and a base coupled to the sidewall adjacent the first end. The sidewall and the base define a cavity. The container further includes a rim coupled to the sidewall adjacent the second end. The rim defines a plane that intersects the longitudinal axis. The container further includes a lid removably coupled to the rim to selectively enclose the cavity and a pour spout coupled to the rim and positioned entirely below the plane along the longitudinal axis. The lid includes a face configured to align with the plane.

A container configured to hold liquid contents, the container comprising:
- a sidewall defining a longitudinal axis having a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
- a base coupled to the sidewall adjacent the first end, the sidewall and the base defining a cavity;
- a rim coupled to the sidewall adjacent the second end, the rim defining a plane that intersects the longitudinal axis;
- a lid removably coupled to the rim to selectively enclose the cavity, the lid including a face configured to align with the plane;
- and
- a pour spout coupled to the rim and positioned entirely below the plane along the longitudinal axis.
A container configured to hold liquid contents, the container comprising:
- a base;
- a sidewall extending upward from the base and defining a longitudinal axis;
- a rim coupled to the sidewall opposite from the base and configured to selectively receive a lid removably coupled thereto, the rim including
- a lip defining an outer periphery of the rim,
- a channel disposed radially inward from the lip, and
- a rim projection disposed radially inward from the channel, an end of the rim projection defining a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a pour spout integrally formed with the rim and disposed entirely between the plane and the base along the longitudinal axis, the pour spout configured to convey the liquid contents over the lip during pouring.
A container configured to hold liquid contents, the container comprising:
- a cavity defined by a base and a sidewall coupled to the base;
- a rim disposed adjacent the cavity, the rim including a
- a lip,
- a channel extending inward from the lip,
- a rim projection extending inward from the channel;
- a lid removably coupled to the rim to selectively enclose the cavity, the lid including a face and a lid projection, the face contacted by the rim projection, the lid projection received in the channel when the lid is coupled to the rim;
- and
- a pour spout coupled to the rim below and out of contact with the lid when the lid is coupled to the rim.
