  • Patent number: 8245880
    Abstract: A dispensing closure with a rotational stop that limits the rotation of the closure and generally prevents removal of the closure from the container. The dispensing closure may include a cap body operably engaging a fitment and a container finish. When the cap body is rotated about the container finish, the interior abutment surface of the recessed squeeze pad engages a lug stop located on the container finish so as to limit the rotation, thereby preventing removal of the cap body from the container finish.

  • Patent number: 7648051
    Abstract: The dispensing closure is provided having a stopping mechanism that limits the rotation of the closure and generally prevents removal of the closure from the container. The dispensing closure includes a cap body, fitment, and container finish. The cap body has a double shell design, which includes at least one drop lug reverse tapered from the inner shell. When the cap body is rotated about the container finish, the reverse tapered drop lug engages at least one lug stop located on the container finish so as to limit the rotation, thereby preventing removal of the cap body from the container finish. The reverse taper of the drop lug maximizes the abutment surface and stability of the drop lug when engaging the corresponding lug stop.

  • Patent number: 6543650
    Abstract: A dispenser closure is provided having a stopping mechanism that limits the rotation of the closure and generally prevents removal of the closure cap from the container. The dispenser closure includes a cap body, fitment and container finish. The cap body has a double shell design, which includes at least one drop lug projecting from the inner shell. When the cap body is rotated about the container finish, the drop lug engages at least one lug stop located on the container finish so as to limit the rotation, thereby preventing removal of the cap body from the container finish.
