  • Patent number: 4140251
    Abstract: A decanter for use with a beverage, such as coffee, having a pouring spout provided with a mounting portion carrying a suitable handle. The mounting structure is sealingly secured to the neck of the decanter by compressive engagement with a seal ring set in place about the neck of the decanter below the upper edge thereof. The seal ring is compressed both axially and radially as a result of the engagement therewith by a stepped portion of the bore of the mounting structure. The mounting structure is retained against axial displacement from the installed condition wherein the seal is thusly compressed by an interlock at the lower end of the mounting structure and a cooperating portion on the decanter neck. An upper, inturned flange on the mounting structure is spaced slightly above the upper edge of the decanter neck in the installed arrangement of the spout on the decanter.
