Abstract
The cover of the present invention includes a base member and a lid which can be fastened to a container such as a paint can to provide an air-tight and fluid-tight arrangement. The base snaps on to a top of a container and includes a central portion, one-half of which is open and the other half of which is closed to provide a shelf. A lid is pivotally attached to the base and includes a spout which is disposed above the opening in the base when the base and the lid are interconnected but arranged so that the lid can be pivoted away from and above the base. The lid also includes a vent which permits the contents of the container to be poured through the opening in the base and the spout in the lid when the lid and the base are tightly interconnected.
