Abstract
A plastic container that includes a hollow container body having a body opening, a cylindrical finish wall portion surrounding the body opening and extending from the body, with external threads for receiving a closure, and a spout secured to and projecting axially from the externally threaded wall portion. The body, wall portion and spout are of as-molded one-piece or monolithic integral plastic construction. The axial dimension of the spout preferably is greater than that of the externally threaded wall portion of the container finish. The threaded wall portion or the spout has an axially oriented surface that lies in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the container finish for sealing engagement with a closure or cap that is threaded onto the container finish.
