  • Patent number: 5346100
    Abstract: A toggle-action container dispensing closure is provided for manipulation between a closed, non-dispensing orientation and an open, dispensing orientation. The closure includes an actuator mounted on a body secured to the container. The body defines a shearing wall-receiving recess. The body has a rear surface spaced from the abutment. The rear surface defines the rear of the recess. The body also has a control surface defining the bottom of the recess at the base of the abutment. The control surface extends from the rear surface to the abutment. This controls the fracture of the abutment from the control surface through the abutment.

  • Patent number: 5341960
    Abstract: A toggle-action container dispensing closure is provided for manipulation between a closed, non-dispensing orientation and an open, dispensing orientation. The closure includes an actuator mounted on a body secured to the container. The actuator is tiltable between a closed position and an open position. The body has a severable abutment portion under the actuator. The actuator has a shearing wall confronting the abutment. The actuator includes a depending structure defining a pair of spaced-apart retaining surfaces for sliding into engagement with the abutment when the actuator is subjected to at least a predetermined force to shear the abutment whereby the sheared off abutment is gripped between the retaining surfaces.
