Abstract
An attachment for use with paint cans, kitchen containers, laboratory equipment and the like in a wide range of sizes serves to prevent both spillage when pouring liquids from such containers or splashing when pouring liquids into such containers. Attachment and detachment of the device is rapid, involving merely slipping the device on and off in one embodiment, or the turning of a simple knob on several attachment clips in another embodiment. Variations in the design of specific instances of the device may be made to accommodate liquids having widely different viscosity.
