A closure system is provided for a container. The system has a body for extending from the container at the container opening. The body defines a dispensing orifice. A lid is provided for covering the orifice. The body has a bearing member with two spaced-apart walls for defining a channel for receiving a pivot shaft on the lid. At least one deflectable finger projects from one of the body bearing member walls for being temporarily, elastically deflected to accommodate the insertion of the lid pivot shaft into the channel. The finger is resilient, and moves back over the lid pivot shaft to prevent removal of the lid pivot shaft from the channel.

Closure with deflectable finger for retention of lid hinge shaft

A dispensing closure system (A,B,C,D) is provided with a peripheral wall or closure body (A,B,C,D) for extending from a container. In one form of the system, at least one lid (orA orA/B orB/D orD) includes a latch post (D) for being received in a latch aperture (D) in a rim (D) of the peripheral wall (A,B,C,D) to increase the opening resistance of the lid. In another form of the system, two lids (andA andA/B andB/D andD) are molded with the body (A,B,C,D) as a unitary structure, and the lids are closable over two openings (A,A/B,B/C,C/D,D).

Closure with one or more lids

A dispensing closure system is provided with a peripheral wall or closure body for extending from a container. Two lids are molded with the body as a unitary structure, and the lids are closable over a pouring opening and a scooping opening.

Multi-fold closure

A dispensing closure system is provided with two or more dispensing apertures and two or more pivotable lids. Each lid can be selectively opened and retained in a fully opened orientation. In a preferred form of the invention, the lids are incorporated in a top that is snap-fitted into a closure body which defines the dispensing apertures.
