Abstract: A two shot dispensing closure wherein the spout and base component of the closure is molded in a first molding step and a repositionable cap is molded over at least the spout of the closure in a second molding step. The cap may be molded in the closed position over the spout to provide a fluidic seal between the cap and spout. The cap is repositionable between a closed position closing off an aperture of the spout and an open position thereby opening the aperture of the spout.

Abstract: A method of molding a container closure providing selective fluid communication between an interior of a fluid container and an exterior environment, the method comprising: (i) configuring and closing a mold having a first cavity negatively defining a base of a container closure that includes a spout and a container mount, where the spout and container mount cooperate to define a conduit therethrough in fluid communication with an outlet orifice of the spout; (ii) injecting a first material into the first cavity to mold the base; (iii) cooling the first material in the mold to impart at least minimal rigidity to the base; (iv) reconfiguring at least a portion of the mold to define a second cavity adjacent to the first material, the second cavity negatively defining a cap covering the outlet orifice of the spout; (v) injecting a second material into the second cavity to mold the cap over the outlet orifice; (vi) cooling the second material in the mold to impart at least minimal rigidity to the cap; and (vii) r

Abstract: A dispensing closure of three separately formed interlocking components including a container mountable base with a central post mounting a spout for vertical movement thereon between a closed position with a post mounted plug sealing within a spout aperture, and a second open position with the plug remote from the aperture, movement of the spout relative to the post and plug being achieved by a sleeve rotatably mounted on the base and engaged with the spout for rotation of the spout with the sleeve and, through cooperating engagement of the spout with the post, for longitudinal adjustment of the spout relative to the post.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a product from a body having a pivot flange formed on the external surface thereof. A trigger is mounted on the pivot flange to be pivotal thereupon by a user's hand wrapped about the body with the user's finger digits positioned on the trigger. A product engaging platform is mounted upon a screw gear positioned within the body and is movable to dispense the product from the body when the screw gear is turned by pivotal movement of the trigger and engagement thereof against the screw gear. The product to be dispensed may be retained in a cartridge which is removable and replaceable within the body.

Abstract: A dispensing cover for a cream or gel product contained in a sleeve with an elevator platform for advancing the product toward the cover. The cover includes a dome portion having at least one passageway to permit the product to pass through the cover for dispensing. A weakened area about the periphery of the cover permits the dome portion to flex downwardly into contact with the product when a force is exerted against the cover, and to return to its original unflexed position with an air gap between the dome part and the product when the force is removed from the cover.
