Abstract: A vessel configured to contain a powder, semi-solid or liquid product and to dispense predetermined amounts of the product. The vessel includes a container, a limiting member, and a dispensing closure. The container, limiting member and dispensing closure are not integral with each other, are constructed as discrete components, and are assembled to form the vessel. The limiting member limits inward deflection of the container during each squeezing of the container to limit the amount of product displaced from the container into the dispensing closure.
Abstract: A dispensing closure for a vessel comprising a base member and a spout member engaged with the base member. The base member including a rupture member having a camming surface and the spout member having a cam actuator for engaging the camming surface to rupture the rupture member during twisting of the spout member in a first direction relative to the base member from a sealed position to a flow position to define a flow opening in the base member to permit fluid flow through the flow opening. The dispensing closure may include a pair of spaced rupture members and cam actuators. The dispensing closure may include a cap member hingedly attached to the spout member. The dispensing closure may include tamper evidency ring or other structure and a locking mechanism configured to lock the cap member in the closed position until the cap member and spout are rotated a sufficient distance to break the tamper evidency ring.
