Abstract: A closure for a container includes a base having a first end configured for mounting on a container and a second end enclosed by a top portion. The container includes a first projection extending from an outside wall. The top portion includes a platform having at least one opening for dispensing material from the container. At least one flap is coupled to the top portion and movable between an open position for dispensing the material and a closed position for covering the opening. A second projection extends from an inside wall of the base toward the top portion and is configured to coact with the first projection on the outside of the container, so that the closure is configured to resist separation from the container once the closure has been attached to the container.

Abstract: A closure for a container having a body and a cover is disclosed. The body includes a base configured to be coupled to a receptacle, a top portion coupled to the base, a dispensing aperture in the top portion, and a recess extending around at least a portion of the periphery of the top portion. The top portion has a first contour, at least a portion of which is non-planar. The cover includes a bottom surface having a second contour and a skirt configured to be received within the recess in the top portion when the cover is in the closed position.

Abstract: A closure for a container includes a base with at least one opening for dispensing a material from the container and a cover coupled atop the base. The cover includes at least one flap that is movable between an open position for dispensing the material and a closed position for covering the opening. At least one projection extends from the flap to releasably retain the flap in the closed position. A tab extends from the projection. A guide surface is provided on the tab and is configured to contact an edge of the opening when the flap is moved toward the closed position and is configured to create a wedging interaction with the edge of the opening when the flap is moved further toward the closed position. The flap is retained in the closed position by the wedging interaction of the tab and the edge.

Abstract: An integrally-formed cover for a container is disclosed. The integrally-formed cover comprises a cylindrical portion, a top portion, a shaker flap, a spooning flap, and an upwardly projecting lip. The top portion has a plurality of shaker openings and a spooning opening. The shaker flap and the spooning flap each have an outer edge with a downwardly extending skirt. The shaker flap and spooning flap are configured for selective movement between an open position and a closed position. The lip extends substantially around the shaker flap and the spooning flap and is configured to provide a guide for positioning a bottom of a container stacked on the top portion of the container cover. The cover may also comprise a sealing projection. The sealing projection may be circular and may be disposed inside the cylindrical portion. A container comprising a closed-bottom receptacle having an open and cylindrical upper end to which an integrally-formed cover is secured is also disclosed.

Abstract: An integrally formed closure for a container is disclosed having a base with a plurality of dispensing apertures and a cover coupled to the base for movement between a closed position and an open position to allow dispensing of matter from the container. The base includes a top portion having a first contour and the cover has a second contour configured to substantially correspond to the first contour. A closure for a container is also disclosed having a base that includes a topside having a contour. A cover is coupled to the base and includes an underside configured to substantially correspond to the contour and a rib extending downwardly from the underside to move matter accumulated on the topside of the base into the container when the cover is moved toward the closed position.

A guide surface is provided on the tab and is configured to contact an edge of the opening when the flap is moved toward the closed position and is configured to create a wedging interaction with the edge of the opening when the flap is moved further toward the closed position. The flap is retained in the closed position by the wedging interaction of the tab and the edge.
