Abstract
A dispensing closure () for a fluent substance-containing system, such as a container, includes a body () for receiving the fluent substance from the system, a locking member () assembled with the body (), and a pivotable actuator () assembled with the locking member () and defining a dispensing flow passage () for discharging the fluent substance. The locking member () is rotatable relative to the body () from a locking position to an unlocking position to permit a user to pivot the actuator () from a closed position to a dispensing, open position. The body () has an abutment () that extends through the locking member () in the locking position to prevent the actuator () from moving into the open position. In the unlocking position of the locking member (), the actuator () is not prevented by the abutment () from being moved into the open position.
