Publication number: 20250100757Abstract: In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods provided herein are useful for dispensing a fluid from a bottle that includes a closure cap with a flip-top lid, a base, and a tamper evident structure configured to indicate whether the closure cap has been previously opened. In some configurations, an area of the closure cap that a user manually leverages to open the cap includes a recess. By one approach, prior to initial opening, the movable wall covers most portion of the recess, and then upon initial opening, a user manually rotates the movable wall from the first generally vertical configuration to a second configuration that is moved inward into the recess.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2023Publication date: March 27, 2025Inventors: Balint Hiltser, Jonathan Ralph de Jong, Geert Petrus Jacobus Scholte, Bastiaan Pieter Hemmes, Fredrik Cornelis Stam, Charlotte Catherine Erik Devries
