Abstract
A dispensing lid includes a port through the lid, a slider in sliding engagement with the lid, and a detent on the slider. The slider is selectively movable between a closed position that closes the port, an open position that opens the port, and removal from the lid. The detent includes a wall extending from the slider, a lever attached to the slider at a pivot, a pawl extending from the lever, and a catch extending from the pawl. The lever is in an orientation opposing the wall with a gap between the lever and the wall. The catch engages a first stop in the lid when the slider is in the closed position with the lever released, engages a second stop in the lid when the slider is in the open position with the lever released, and does not engage the lid when the slider is removed.
