Abstract
An improved, preassembled ball-type dispensing package combination for cosmetics and the like. A ball is held in place in a fitment which is adapted to be 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 facilitate uniform dispensing and application of the contents of the container. The total package is completed by a closure which engages threads on the exterior of the finish portion of the container. The fitment and closure include engaging portions which are adapted to retain the fitment in a preassembled position within the closure for shipping and handling. However, when the combination closure, fitment and ball are placed in engagement with the container finish portion, the retentive engagement between the fitment and the closure may be overcome to allow the fitment and ball to remain on the container when the closure is removed.
