Abstract

See full text

A closure for a container includes a main body portion that is constructed and arranged to be secured to a container and that has dispensing orifice defined therein for dispensing a liquid. The closure further includes a first lid portion that is hingedly mounted to the main body portion and is movable between a first, open position wherein material may be dispensed from the container through the dispensing orifice and a second, closed position wherein the dispensing orifice is blocked. A second lid portion overlies the first lid portion and is mounted for rotation with respect to the first lid portion. The second lid portion is rotatable between an unlocked position and a locked position wherein it engages the main body portion to prevent movement of the first lid portion away from the second, closed position. Pedestal bearing structure is advantageously mounted to one of the first and second lid portions that has a bearing surface that is positioned to engage the other of the first and second lid portions for reducing rotational friction between the first lid portion and the second lid portion.
