Abstract
A dispensing closure (A,B) includes a first body (A,B) for being located at an opening of a container (A,B) and having a first peripheral wall (A,B) and a membrane (A,B) that is integrally molded with the first peripheral wall (A,N) to initially occlude access to the interior of the container (A,B). The closure (A,B) includes a second body (A,B) for surrounding at least a portion of the first body (A,B) and defining a dispensing orifice (A,B). Either the first body (A,B) and/or the second body (A,B) includes means for accommodating engagement by a user to breach only a portion of the membrane (A,B) in a direction toward the interior of the container (A,B) to permit access to the interior of the container (A,B).
