Abstract: A self-venting closure assembly includes a closure body having a deck with a peripheral mounting skirt and an annular seal on an underside of the deck adjacent to the peripheral mounting skirt, further including a circular valve seat within the center portion of the deck, and a plurality of vent openings circumferentially spaced within the valve seat, all surrounded by an annular spillover wall. An elastomeric umbrella valve is centrally mounted to the deck and has a frustoconical valve flap arranged on an underside of the valve seat. The valve flap cooperates with the vent openings to normally seal the vent openings but permits air to flow into an interior of the closure body when a vacuum is applied to an interior of the container on which the closure is mounted.

Abstract: A two-piece dispensing closure for dispensing essential oils includes an insert received into a container opening and a closure body including a dispensing spout and a hinged cap. The cap is connected to the closure body by a living hinge to allow the user to selectively open and close the container. A tamper-evident tear strip is integrally formed with the closure body. The insert and the closure body including mating helical ramps which cooperate to insure that the insert remains installed within the container neck when the closure body is removed after purchase.

Abstract: A dispensing closure for a squeeze-type container produces a fan-type spray in a low pressure environment. The dispensing closure includes a closure body having an upper deck and a skirt depending from the upper deck. The skirt is configured and arranged to attach to a product container, such as a squeeze-type container. A flow conduit extends from an interior of the closure body and through the upper deck to provide a flow path from an interior of the closure to an exterior of the closure. The flow conduit has an entrance orifice and an exit orifice. The flow conduit has an inner wall extending between the entrance orifice and the exit orifice. The flow conduit and the closure body are integrally formed. The flow conduit includes a tip portion with an exit orifice defining a shape to provide a fan-type spray in a low pressure environment.

Abstract: A closure assembly includes a vented closure and a dispensing fitment. The closure includes an upper deck, a tubular hub extending downwardly from the upper deck, an annular outwardly threaded fitment neck extending upwardly from the upper deck, and a fitment seat surrounding the fitment neck. The fitment seat has a vent hole radially spaced from the hub. The dispensing fitment includes a fitment body, an arbor extending downwardly from the fitment body, an annular inwardly threaded sealing wall extending downwardly from the fitment body, and a dispensing neck extending upwardly from the fitment body. The arbor is movable between an open venting position and a closed position which blocks the vent hole.

Abstract: A dispensing closure for dispensing a flowable product from a squeeze-type product container includes a closure body having an upper deck, an exit orifice, and a skirt configured to attach to the product container. A measuring reservoir is received in engagement with a lower surface of the upper deck. The measuring reservoir is filled with a measured dose of flowable product through flow ports when the container is inverted. A piston valve is slidably movable within the measuring reservoir between an open position and a closed position. The piston valve is movable from the open position to the closed position to dispense the measured dose of product responsive to pressure within the container induced by squeezing.

Abstract: A one-piece dispensing closure for dispensing essential oils includes an integrally formed closure body, tubular dispensing spout, a hinged cap and a latch for maintaining the cap in an open position. The cap is connected to the closure body by a living hinge to allow the user to selectively open and close the container.

Abstract: A squirt dispensing closure (10) for liquid drink flavor concentrate includes a closure body (12), a hinged cap (14), and a flow baffle (18). The closure body has a closure deck (20) and a tubular dispensing spout (22) having a lower portion (26) extending downwardly to provide a flow conduit (28) from the interior of the closure body. The flow baffle (18) includes a bottom wall (40), and a side wall (42) which is snap mounted over the lower portion of the dispensing spout (22). A fluid well (50) is formed in the bottom wall (40) and a fluid opening (52) is formed on a peripheral edge of the bottom wall. An arcuate baffling wall (54) extends upwardly from the bottom wall (40) adjacent the fluid opening (52), forming a restricted flow gap (56) from the fluid opening into an interior of the flow baffle (18). A baffling post (58) extends upwardly from within the fluid well 50) into the flow conduit (28) to form a restricted annular flow passage (60) therebetween.

Abstract: A closure assembly includes a vented closure and a dispensing fitment. The closure includes an upper deck, a tubular hub extending downwardly from the upper deck, an annular outwardly threaded fitment neck extending upwardly from the upper deck, and a fitment seat surrounding the fitment neck. The fitment seat has a vent hole radially spaced from the hub. The dispensing fitment includes a fitment body, an arbor extending downwardly from the fitment body, an annular inwardly threaded sealing wall extending downwardly from the fitment body, and a dispensing neck extending upwardly from the fitment body. The arbor is movable between an open venting position and a closed position which blocks the vent hole.
