ABSTRACT:
A biased swivel closure is provided for a container and includes a cap cover which is pivotably mounted to a closure cap for pivoting between a closed position sealing a discharge nozzle and an open position. The cap cover is normally biased to the closed position by a pretensioning device which is connected between the cap cover and the closure cap. The pretensioning device includes an inverted V-shaped leaf spring having first and second legs which are spread outwardly in an arc shape in the untensioned state when the cap cover is removed from its mounting in the closure cap. When the cover is pivotably mounted in the closure cap and oriented obliquely downwardly and generally in the same plane and parallel to one another with the root connection of the two legs resting on a portion of the closure cap.
