ABSTRACT:
A closure and dispensing device intended to be fitted to a container. The device includes a body which can be mounted on the container, with the body including a dispensing aperture in communication with an opening by the container. A lid is stable in the open position, and capable of selectively closing off the dispensing aperture, with the lid being pivotable relative to the body about an axis of a hinge. At least one resiliently deformable strip connects the lid to the body, and the lid includes two ends on an axis perpendicular to the hinge axis. The hinge axis is preferably located relative to the ends so that opening of the lid can occur as a result of pressure exerted on a portion of the lid situated between the hinge axis and the opposite end of the lid. The opposite end of the lid preferably includes a portion which at least partially closes off the dispensing aperture.
