Abstract
Disclosed are dispensing devices including an attachable dispensing lid adapted to be fitted to the open end of a package for particulate material especially ready-to-eat cereals. The dispensing device not only aids dispensing the particulate contents but also provides a good seal against moisture pickup. The dispensing lid includes a cover member having a peripheral groove which is adapted to frictionally engage the folded portion of the package formed by folding back the package top end flaps and the inner liner. The dispensing lid further comprises a spout member pivotably positioned within a corresponding opening in the cover member.
