ABSTRACT:
An improved dispensing cap for supporting an associated container or bottle in an inverted position. A dispensing cap is provided which comprises a base, a funnel, a compression sleeve, and a seal. The base comprises a supporting flange fixed to a receiving well. The receiving well is adapted to slideably engage the funnel and provides a mechanism for controlling a flow of liquid or gel out of the funnel. The funnel comprises a plurality of flexible flanges mounted to a cap structure. The cap structure has an exterior surface adapted to engage the compression sleeve and an internal surface against which the seal may be disposed. The compression sleeve upon engaging the exterior surface of the cap structure forces the flanges fixed to the cap structure inward, and the flanges, in turn, push the seal inward. In this fashion, the dispensing cap may be adapted to engage not just bottles and containers having spouts of a single, selected diameter, but instead, bottles and containers having spouts of varying sizes and shapes.
