Abstract
A container () includes a body () defining an internal volume and a first opening () that provides a path of fluid communication between the internal volume and an exterior of the body. A nozzle piece () is positioned at least partially within the opening in the body. The nozzle piece defines a second opening () that is smaller than the first opening in the body. A cap piece () is integral with the body. The cap piece is configured to pivot between an open position and a closed position via a hinge () that is positioned between the body and the cap piece. Fluid flow is permitted through the second opening in the nozzle piece when the cap piece is in the open position, and the cap piece prevents fluid flow through the second opening in the nozzle piece when the cap piece is in the closed position.
