Abstract
This relates to a closure unit which is of a two-piece construction including a measuring cup and a ring member. The ring member includes an annular flange and a skirt having formed thereon locking elements such as threads for engaging the neck finish of a container. The measuring cup is provided mid-height with a flange which is clamped against an end sealing surface of a container by the annular flange of the ring member. The measuring cup is formed of a resilient plastic material so that the flange of the measuring cup has a gasket-like characteristic and can form a seal with the end sealing surface of an associated container. The measuring cup may be fixed relative to the ring member or may be axially movable relative thereto so that in condition of use an open end of the measuring cup will project beyond the skirt of the ring member to permit pouring from the measuring cup. Because the open end of the measuring cup is positioned within the container after use, any residue on the measuring cup drains back into the container.
