Abstract
A dispensing closure for a container, the closure including a universal base for use with either a twist operational cap or a cap which is operational on the same base by pull/push operation. The universal base includes helical grooved channels to receive drive threads formed on the inner facing surface of a twist operational cap. The helical grooved channels do not interfere with operation of a pull/push cap when such cap is employed, as an alternative to a twist cap, for use on the same universal base.
