Abstract
A stackable and reusable, container cover is disclosed for safe, sealed, and protected confinement of fluid contents therein to prevent, among other matters, spillage, contamination, evaporation and hardening of the fluid contents. The cover consists of a single molded disc shaped device with an elevated flat surface, platform for supporting another container thereon. The cover also provides for multiple and different sized spouts for various and particular flow rates and flow confinements, and angled in such manner for easy drip less pouring. In addition, the cover provides for a significant step in providing a very convenient snap on, attachment, and snap off, detachment means for reuse of the cover on yet another container.

A reusable cover for mounting on top of a fluid container, comprising:
- platform means in the form of a severely truncated cone having inclined sides and a flat top for supporting and stacking another container thereon;
- means, disposed on said platform means for centering and locking a stacked container on top of a lower container;
- a plurality of different sized spouts emanating perpendicularly from said inclined sides of said platform means, said spouts having removable closure means;
- means for sealing said platform means from said container, wherein said sealing means consists of a peripheral male protruding ring for a snugly fit insertion into a peripheral female recessed ring of said container;
- and
- means for disengaging said platform means from said container, wherein said disengaging means consists of an elevated lip around the peripheral based of said platform means thereby causing a gap between said platform and the top of said container that can conveniently be pried open.
A dripless, spill proof fluid container cover, comprising;
- a base having a peripheral lip for engagement with said container;
- a platform with inclined sides concentrically disposed on said base;
- at least two different sized spouts extending from said platform wherein said spouts extend perpendicularly from said inclined sides and are provided with sealing caps;
- and
- cover disengagement means disposed between said peripheral lip and said container, wherein said disengagement means consists of a built in gap between said peripheral lip and top rim of said container, thereby enabling one to insert a screwdriver there between and easily snap off said cover.
A reusable paint can cover, comprising:
- a disc shaped base having a peripheral lip for engagement with said paint can;
- an elevated platform, concentrically disposed on said base;
- inclined sides connecting said platform with said base;
- a plurality of notched flanges disposed around the periphery of said platform for securing a paint can to said platform;
- at least two spouts emanating from and perpendicular to said inclined sides;
- cover engagement means disposed on said base for attaching and sealing said cover to said paint can;
