Dispenser closure

Abstract

A dispensing container for granular or powderous materials, The container body has a circular periphery and an upwardly facing opening with an upper edge which is preferably rolled as is known in the art. After the container has been filled with the appropriate contents a sealing disk is secured to the upper edge of the container side walls. The sealing disk includes several circumferentially spaced openings and has a periphery larger than that of the container body such that a peripheral edge extends outwardly and downwardly from the upper edge of the container walls. The openings in the sealing disk are initially covered with adhesive labels to maintain the contents within the container. A selector cap is then applied over the sealing disk simply by downward movement thereover. The selector cap includes a downwardly extending skirt having a detent portion which engages with the outwardly extending outer periphery of the sealing disk. This engagement maintains the selector cap upon the container but allows it to rotate about the longitudinal axis thereof. The selector cap is preferably formed of a somewhat resilient material such that the user may engage the skirt to remove the cap from the container. The labels covering the openings may then be removed and the selector cap replaced upon the container. The cap includes an opening therethrough which may be aligned with the openings in the sealing disk to allow dispensing of the contents from the container.
