ABSTRACT:
A dispensing closure for a container is disclosed. The dispensing closure includes a closure body including an upper wall having a dispensing orifice. The closure body further includes an upper peripheral skirt depending from the upper wall, a closure deck depending from the upper peripheral skirt, and a lower peripheral skirt depending from the closure deck. The lower peripheral skirt has a diameter larger than the upper peripheral skirt. The lower peripheral skirt is configured to be mounted on a container. A cap having an upper wall and a wall flange depends from the upper wall. A hinge body is also included. A first living hinge joins a first end of the hinge body to the lower peripheral skirt and is hingeably movable from an open position to a closed position in facing mating relation with the upper peripheral skirt. The hinge body and the upper peripheral skirt include interfitting mating formations to secure the hinge body in facing mating relation with the upper peripheral skirt. A second living hinge joins a second end of the hinge body to the sealing cap. The sealing cap is hingeably movable from an open position to a closed position overlying the upper wall of the closure body. A latch bump is also included and may be located on either the closure deck adjacent to the hinge or on the hinge adjacent to the closure deck. A latch bead is formed on the upper wall of the cap.
