Embodiment Construction

[0038] Referring to the drawings in greater detail and by reference characters thereto, it should initially be noted that since many different embodiments are disclosed herein, similar reference numerals are used for similar components although the appearance of the components may differ slightly. Thus, for example, in many of the embodiments, a single reference numeral will be utilized for the neck portion of the container although different configurations of necks are illustrated.

[0039] In FIG. 1, there is illustrated an upper portion of a container 10 and which container 10 includes a lower neck generally designated by reference numeral 12 and an upper neck generally designated by reference numeral 14. Upper neck 14 includes a neck outer surface 16, a neck inner surface 18 and a rim 20 extending therebetween.

[0040] Provided on the neck outer surface 16 are a plurality of outer threads 22. A cap 24 has a top wall 26 and a downwardly depending side wall 28. On the interior surfac...

Abstract

A container having a body portion (10) and a dispensing opening, a neck (14) surrounding said dispensing opening, the neck having a rim (20), an inner neck surface (18) and an outer neck surface (16), and a drip minimizing member (32, 68) extending inwardly over a portion of the dispensing outlet, the member being located proximate the rim (20), the member terminating in a sharp edge (34, 70) to minimize dripping when pouring from the container.
