Abstract

See full text

Dispensing closure comprising a cap including an upper surface and a depending skirt adapted to be secured to a dispenser, a spout with an enlarged base and an elongated body, and mounting members, such as trunnions and a cavity defined within the upper surface of the cap, to secure the spout in the cavity for pivotal movement. A lug is formed on the spout, and a stop is defined within the cavity; the lug and stop cooperate to positively limit the travel of the spout toward a vertical orientation. A scoop, or enlarged opening, at the inlet end of the spout enables the contents of the container to be discharged through the spout, even when the base of the spout partially eclipses the opening the cap that communicates with the interior of the dispenser.
