Abstract
A dispensing closure includes a closure base having a base wall, a skirt with an axis and at least one internal thread or bead for securing the closure to a container finish. A deck is raised with respect to the closure base wall and has an arcuate convex external surface at an angle to the axis of the skirt to prevent the puddling of moisture on the upper or external surface of the deck. A dispensing opening is disposed in the deck, and a lid is integrally connected to the closure base by at least one hinge.
