Abstract
A dispensing closure (A,B) defines a central axis and has a first body (A,B) for being located at an opening of a container. The first body (A,B) having a first peripheral wall (A,B) and a membrane (A,B) that is connected to the first peripheral wall (A,B) to initially occlude access to the interior of the container. The membrane (A,B) includes a separation member (A,B) that accommodates engagement by a user to separate the membrane (A,B) from the first peripheral wall (A,B) to permit access to the interior of the container. The membrane (A,B) has an annular peripheral portion (A,B) adjacent the first peripheral wall (A,B) that slopes axially outwardly along the central axis in a radial direction moving away from the first peripheral wall (A,B) toward the central axis.
