A method of injection molding a container having a body and an upper opening surrounding a neck of a container produces a container in which a diameter of the body is greater than the diameter of the neck. The method includes injecting plastic or other appropriate material into a cavity of the mold assembly and, after the container material has cooled sufficiently to retain its shape, sequentially removing portions of the mold assembly from the container.

[ We claim:] [1.] A method of injection molding a container having a body and an upper opening proximate a neck of the container, a diameter of the body being greater than a diameter of the neck, the method comprising:injecting plastic into a cavity of a mold assembly in which the mold assembly comprises a mold base having a well, an ejector assembly having a first portion and a second portion, and a ring, wherein the ejector assembly is initially at least partially positioned in the well of the mold base to form the body of the container and the first portion of the ejector assembly forms the interior portion of the neck and the ring is positioned intermediate the mold base and the ejector assembly to form the exterior circumference of the neck of the container;separating the mold base from the ejector assembly and thereby removing the container from the well;removing the first portion of the ejector assembly from the container;removing the ring from the exterior circumference of the neck of the container by temporarily compressing the neck inwardly; andremoving the second portion of the ejector assembly from the container by temporarily expanding the neck outwardly after the ring is removed from the exterior circumference of the neck.
