Benefits of technology

[0011]The present invention provides a device and method for venting a can or other container which contains, or is intended to contain, a liquid such as an organic, non-organic, volatile, or non-volatile liquid, or any other type of liquid or fluid. A device and method of the invention are useful for preventing spills and surging when pouring a liquid from an unvented container. Many solvents, cleaners, fuels, oils or other liquids for household or industrial use are sold to the consumer in a can or other type of container that lacks a venting port. For example, many paint products and solvents such as paint thinner or mineral spirits are sold in a can having a removable cap for pouring the liquid but no venting port. As a result, it is generally difficult to pour from the container, especially when the container is full, without splashing the liquid on
