ABSTRACT:
A dispensing closure for closing an end of a canister containing dispensable articles includes a top adapted to fit over an open end of a canister. The top has depending therefrom an integral peripheral axial flange. The top has therein a dispensing opening and a slit connected with the dispensing opening. The closure may be originally provided with the dispensing opening, or alternatively the closure may be originally provided with a tear-out member which is removed by the consumer to form the dispensing opening. The dispensing opening and slit may be formed directly in the top, or alternatively the top may have a recess defined by a bottom wall and a side wall, with the dispensing opening and slit being formed in the bottom wall of the recess. A lid is selectively movable between a first position covering the top or fitted within the recess and a second position removed from the top or recess. The lid includes a first portion adapted to cover the tear-out member or the dispensing opening when the lid is in the first position thereof. The lid includes a second portion adapted to cover the slit when the lid is in the first position thereof. The second portion of the lid is integrally but flexibly connected to the first portion of the lid, such that when the lid is in the first position therof the second portion of the lid is selectively pivotable with respect to the first portion of the lid away from the top, thereby to uncover the slit.
