Abstract: A pour spout device including a lid and a vented pour spout for improving the sealing of an opening of a wide-mouthed jar or container. The lid has a cover and a threaded outer wall, and a seal ring track on the inner side of the cover, having an inner boundary defined by a plurality of retaining ribs spaced radially inwardly from the outer wall of the lid. An annular seal is removably secured within the seal ring track and is retained by the plurality of retaining ribs. Each quadrant of the inner side of the lid has at least one of the arcuate-shaped retaining ribs, each having an outer-facing surface that retains the inside edge of all four quadrants of the annular seal from being biased laterally out of the seal ring track when the annular seal is squeezed between the lid and the upper rim of the container.
