Abstract
A two piece dispensing closure for a container in which one piece is a cap having means for attachment to the container such as internal threads which engage external threads on the container and a flat top having a dispensing orifice. The second piece of the closure is a lid connected to the cap by a detachable hinge. The hinge is constructed with a pair of posts projecting adjacent the perimeter of the cap or lid into slots in the other of the cap and lid to permit movement between a closed position in which the dispensing lid is covered to an open dispensing position. The hinge is hidden in the closed position providing a pleasing symmetrical appearance.
