(54) Container with cam means


(57) A container screw cap (10) is provided with a lid (15) with an end wall (16) obturating dispensing orifice (27) in the cap body (13). The lid has two concentric side walls (17) (18) the wall (17) terminating in a frusto-conical lip (25) which engages a bead (26) on the body to resiliently urge the lid into contact with the body to close the orifices. The inner wall (18) carries the cam followers (22) inter-engaging cams (24) on the body. When the lid is rotated relative to the body the cam followers ride up the cams thus raising the lid and opening the dispensing orifices. The container contents expressed through the orifices are expelled through an aperture (28) in the lid.
