A molded plastic container includes a one-piece bottom portion having a cylindrical mouth and a one-piece top portion having an extendable center spout and raised neck. The spout is held within the neck and moveable between extended and retracted positions. The container is filled through the cylindrical mouth after which the top and bottom portions are non-removeably joined. Initially, the spout, neck and cap are joined by a removeable tear-off ring which seals the container. Once the tear-off ring is removed, the spout is free to move between extended and retracted positions, and the cap may be placed on the neck to hold the spout in its retracted position and reseal the container.

A molded container comprising: a one piece molded vessel having a bottom surface and side walls extending therefrom to form an interior cavity, and a mouth aperture; a one piece molded top defining a substantially planar portion defining first and second surfaces and an outer periphery, a raised neck extending from said first surface and terminating in a neck aperture, an outwardly extending neck rim surrounding said neck aperture, a neck passage passing through said neck and said planar portion, and a side wall encompassing said outer periphery and extending away from said second surface substantially perpendicular thereto in the direction opposite to said neck, said side wall including mating means cooperating with said mouth aperture for attaching said one piece molded top to said molded vessel; an elongated spout, having first and second ends and a central passage therethrough, said elongated spout extending through and moveable within said neck aperture and said neck passage and having a cross section and size substantially similar to said neck aperture and defining first and second stop rims at each of said first and second ends extending outwardly from said central passage, and snap means cooperating with said neck passage for securing said spout in an extended position in which said spout extends beyond said neck; a cap having a planar surface and side walls substantially perpendicular thereto defining a cap cavity and a cap snap ring extending inwardly from said side walls into said cap cavity; and a tear-off ring, joined to said one piece molded top, said elongated spout and said cap, defining interfaces therebetween; said one piece molded top, said elongated spout, said cap and said tear-off ring being molded in a single molded unit in which said tear off ring is the sole member joining said molded top, said elongated spout and said cap and is removable therefrom by tearing along said interfaces.
