ABSTRACT:
A closure with a snap type hinge cap including a first part adapted to interengage with the open neck of the container and a second part forming a cap. An integral hinge interconnects the first part and second part. Each of the parts includes a base wall and a peripheral skirt. A pair of hinged straps are attached to the skirts and extend from the skirts on opposite side of the integral hinge. The ends of the straps are straight and lie in substantially the same plane when the first part and second part are in fully open position. Each strap is stretched along its length during opening and closing of the first part and the second part. Each strap has a portion intermediate the ends which extends out of the plane when the first part and second part are in fully open position. Each intermediate portion of each strap is thinner than the ends of said strap. Each strap is untensioned when the first part and second part are in fully open position.
