Abstract

A dispensing closure (10) has a flow conduit (50) that provides a sufficient flow restriction to prevent unwanted spurting of the product when the container is initially opened. The dispensing closure (10) includes a closure body (20) with an upper deck (30) and the flow conduit (50) extending through the upper deck (30). The flow conduit (50) includes an entry orifice (50A) having an entrance axis and an exit orifice (50B) having an exit axis. The entrance axis is offset from the exit axis to provide a non-linear flow path from an interior of the closure (10) to the exterior of the closure (10).

Claims (10)

1. A dispensing closure comprising:
an upper deck;

a skirt depending from the upper deck, said skirt being configured and arranged to mount to a product container; and a flow conduit extending through said upper deck, said flow conduit including an entry orifice having an entrance axis and an exit orifice having an exit axis, said entrance axis being offset from said exit axis to provide a non-linear flow path from an interior of said closure to an exterior of said closure.
2. The dispensing closure of claim 1 wherein said entrance axis is parallel to said exit axis.
3. The dispensing closure of claim 1 wherein said entrance axis is perpendicular to said exit axis.
4. The dispensing closure of claim 1 wherein said entrance orifice is larger than the exit orifice.
5. The dispensing closure of claim 1 wherein the exit orifice is circular and said entrance orifice is non-circular.
6. A dispensing closure comprising:
a closure body;

a closure lid; and a living hinge structure hingeably connecting said closure lid to sad closure body, said closure body including an upper deck, a skirt depending from the upper deck, said skirt being configured and arranged to mount to a product container, and a flow conduit extending through said upper deck, said flow conduit including an entrance orifice having an entrance axis and an exit orifice having an exit axis, said entrance axis being offset from said exit axis to provide a non-linear flow path from an interior of said closure to an exterior of said closure.
7. The dispensing closure of claim 6 wherein said entrance axis is parallel to said exit axis.
8. The dispensing closure of claim 6 wherein said entrance axis is perpendicular to said exit axis.
9. The dispensing closure of claim 6 wherein said entrance orifice is larger than the exit orifice.
10. The dispensing closure of claim 6 wherein the exit orifice is circular and the entrance orifice is non-circular.
