Abstract

A sealing mechanism for a container for sealing an interface between two or more of the structural members includes a container body and a pouring spout. The pouring spout includes a ridge for securing the spout to the container body and a retention ridge that is positioned near the rim of the container body, once assembled. An angled retention surface on the spout is used to properly position a seal between the pouring spout and the container.
