Abstract:
1. A system for pouring a liquid from a vessel, having at least a bottom wall and a sidewall with inner and outer surfaces and a free circumferential edge portion, the system comprising: a mounting flange, having first and second opposite surfaces and a free lower edge portion; said mounting flange being shaped to be placed in a use position, closely adjacent the inner surface and circumferential edge portion of the vessel sidewall; a spout, having a free distal end portion and a proximal end portion that is operatively coupled with said mounting flange; a fluid pathway being defined by an upper surface of said spout intermediate the proximal end portion and the distal end portion; and a biasing member, depending from said spout and formed to be deformably resilient; said biasing member being positioned so that, when the mounting flange is placed in said use position, said biasing member at least partially engages the outer surface of the vessel sidewall and exerts a force on said spout and mounting flange that biases the first surface of said mounting flange against the inner surface of the vessel sidewall.
