Abstract

A resealable container is provided for storing and dispensing liquids. The container is formed in a one-piece molded construction and includes a cap covering an outlet defined by an externally threaded neck, with a frangible section coupling the cap to the neck. An outer ring is threadedly interfitted over the cap in engagement with the neck, with the outer ring having a plurality of inwardly extending slightly flexible fingers which fit around the cap to captivate the cap. The cap is forced downwardly during downward rotation of the outer ring thereby severing the cap from the neck at the frangible section.
