Abstract

See full text

A shake-and-spoon cap for condiment containers and the like is formed of a one-piece injection-molded body. The cap provides a cylindrical skirt having inwardly projecting thread forms for mating with the male threads of a condiment container or the like. Two flaps are provided for selectively opening and closing a spoon opening and a plurality of shaker openings. The cap is structured so that the exposed end of the cap is a circular, planar surface when the flaps are closed. A sealing land inwardly spaced and concentric with the skirt is positioned to seal with the mouth of a container. The interior and exterior surfaces of the end wall are contoured so that substantially the entire cap has a uniform wall thickness. Peripherally spaced, radially extending ribs stiffen the cap between the land and the skirt to resist deflection and to ensure that the flap latching structure functions reliably.
