ABSTRACT:
A container (20,20') is disclosed as having a unitary plastic blow molded bottle (22,22') which has a dispensing spout (32) projecting upwardly from a hollow body portion (26) and also has a moat (34) that surrounds the dispensing spout such that securement of a measuring cup (24,24') to the bottle in a sealed relationship permits excess liquid contents in the measuring cup to drain back into the bottle through an opening (36) in the moat. The unitary blow molded bottle is preferably constructed with the moat (34) inclined and having the opening (36) at a lower portion of the moat. In one embodiment of the container (20), retainers (42) on the dispensing spout (32) secure retainers (44) on the measuring cup (24) to secure the measuring cup with round sealing surfaces (52,54) on the bottle and the measuring cup sealing about the moat (34). In another embodiment, an annular insert (100) surrounds the moat (34) and has retainers (106 ) that secure retainers (108) on the cup (24') to provide sealing between a round sealing surface (112) on the insert and a round sealing surface (114) on the cup.
