Abstract (en)

A liquid dispenser package is described which is adapted to dispense liquids without mess and which incorporates a measuring cup which is also the closure for the package. The package of the present invention includes a container (12) having a dispensing orifice (80) for storing the liquid product, a transition collar (14) to be attached to the container finish surrounding its orifice and having an extended pouring spout (52) and a transverse partition with drain to collect and return residual liquid to the container, and a measuring cup (16) with an open mouth having threads (40) on its exterior to attach the cup to the interior of the transition collar where it functions as the closure for the package. Because of the extended pouring spout, the residual liquid drain back feature, and the exterior threads on the measuring cup, virtually all mess normally associated with liquid product measuring and dispensing is obviated.
