Abstract (en)
Flip-top dispensing closures are typically screwed onto associated containers. Capping of the containers during production involves machinery spinning the closures onto the containers. Accordingly, relative rotation between the base and lid forming the closures can occur damaging the hinge and/or spigot. The present invention addresses this problem by providing a flip-top dispensing closure (10) comprising a base (20) having a dispensing orifice (80), a lid (30), and hinge means (40) for articulating the lid (30) and base (20) with respect to one another, the closure (10) further including anti-rotation means (60,70) for substantially preventing relative rotation between the lid (30) and base (20).
