Abstract: A device for containing and dispensing materials, particularly pourable bulk materials, such as, foodstuffs, includes a cup-shaped container of synthetic material with a closure ring connected to the container. The closure ring has two recesses arranged on oppositely located sides for receiving pins of a cover which is mounted in an opening of the closure ring so as to be pivotable about a common axis formed by the pins. The cover includes an upper wall and a circumferentially extending collar extending towards the inside of the container. The collar has at least one dispensing opening which is released when the cover is in a pivoted position. The outer shape of the cover and the shape of the opening of the closure ring have the shape of a section of a laterally flattened body of rotation. The cover is pivotally guided in the opening of the closure ring in a positively engaging and sealing manner.
