Abstract
An improved ball dispensing package combination for liquid cosmetics and the like. A ball is held in place in a fitment which is attached to the finish portion of a container for the product to be dispensed. The ball is allowed to move freely within the fitment to allow dispensing. The total package is completed by a closure which engages threads on the exterior of the finish portion. The closure has an internal downwardly depending sealing ring which engages the upper rim of the fitment as the closure is tightened. Simultaneously, the lower portion of an internal cavity of the closure engages the ball at its maximum chordal dimension. The ball does not touch the upper portion of the internal cavity, so any material on the ball does not tend to stick to the closure.
