Abstract: A snap hinge dispensing closure has dual dispensing capability for dispensing large or small quantities of content from a container on which it is used. The hinged cover cap when opened exposes a large orifice dispensing spout on the body of the closure, and when closed the large orifice connects with a small orifice in the cover cap. The small orifice is controlled by a rotary disc mounted on the cover cap which includes a spout that registers with the small orifice for dispensing smaller quantities, or is set out of registry to close the small orifice. Upon opening the cover cap about the hinge, the large orifice is accessible to dispense larger quantites of content from the container.

Abstract: A dispensing closure for attachment to the finish of a bottle to selectively permit or prevent the dispensing of a flowable product in the bottle through an opening in the closure. The closure is made up of a molded plastic, cup-shaped base cap member, the dispensing opening being in a top of such base cap member, and a molded plastic generally planar closing member an end of which is pivotally received in a depressed socket portion of the base cap member. The closing member carries a plug which is engaged in the dispensing opening of the base cap member when the closing member is in a first position relative to the base cap member, and the plug is out of engagement with the dispensing opening when the closing member has been pivoted with respect to the base cap member from the first position to a second position.

Abstract: A molded plastic dispensing closure for attachment to the finish of a container. The closure has a body portion which is directly attached to the finish and a cover portion which is hingedly attached to the body portion and which is foldable with respect to the body portion. The body portion has a dispensing opening therein which is surrounded by an outwardly extending dispensing spout, and the dispensing spout is surrounded by a generally flat annular surface. The cover portion is foldable with respect to the body portion between a first position, in which the dispensing spout is sealed by inner and outer annular sealing fins that are carried by the cover portion, and a second position in which the container is open for dispensing through the body portion. One of the body and cover portions of the closure is provided with a secondary sealing fin which seals against the other portion in an annular pattern that surrounds the generally flat annular surface when the cover portion is in the first position.

Abstract: A dispensing closure for attachment to the finish of a bottle and a package which includes a bottle and such a dispensing closure attached to the finish thereof. The closure includes a molded plastic body portion with an irregular, generally horizontal top structure and a dispensing opening in such top structure, a pivotable member which is frictionally and pivotally attached to the top structure and which is pivotable in a vertical plane between a generally horizontal, closing position and an upright, open or dispensing position in which a dispensing passage in the pivotable member is aligned with the dispensing opening in the body portion.
