  • Patent number: 5353970
    Abstract: A dispensing cap construction for containers includes a cap body for attachment to a container neck, the cap body having a discharge spout portion, and a closure cap turnably carried by the cap body and overlying the spout portion. The closure cap has a non-round orifice, and a stopper blade located in the closure cap and receivable in the orifice so as to close off the same. Resilient oppositely-disposed spaced-apart support legs are connected with the stopper blade and mount the latter on the spout portion. The resilient legs retain the stopper blade against outward axial movement with respect to the spout portion of the cap body while simultaneously enabling limited rotary movement of the stopper blade with the closure cap as the latter is shifted axially outward on the cap body, to thereby effect removal of the stopper blade from the orifice.
