  • Patent number: 8051999
    Abstract: A closure construction of the present invention includes a container with male threading on the neck thereof with a pair of locking notches. The cap includes a pair of split arcuate walls with partial threading thereon, which provides, in cooperation with each other, a threaded connection between the cap and the male threading disposed thereby releasably securing the cap to the container. A pair of protrusions are connected to and emanate inwardly from the inner surface of the outer wall. The pair of protrusions are releasably respectively seated in the pair of locking notches when the cap is threaded past a predetermined point onto the neck of the container. When the cap is squeezed in a direction generally perpendicular to a line running through the protrusions, the protrusions lift out of their respective locking notches to permit the cap to be unthreaded from the container.

  • Patent number: 6460729
    Abstract: A one-piece side-dispensing closure including a cap, a dispensing lid, and a flexible actuating section connected between the cap and the dispensing lid is described. The cap has an inner wall connectable with a container, a platform overlying the inner wall and having an aperture, a discharge tube positioned over the aperture, and a top wall supported by the platform. The dispensing lid includes a lever portion, a conduit portion formed on an end of the lid opposite the lever portion, a fulcrum about which the lid rotates, a connector for pivotally connecting the lid to the cap, and a fluid passageway formed in the conduit portion and connected to the discharge tube. The flexible actuating section is connected on its upper end to the dispensing lid by a top hinge and on its lower end to the cap by a bottom hinge. The closure is formed to permit transition from a closed position to an open position when a force is applied to the flexible actuating section.
