Dispensing closure for jars that stores the jar magnetically

摘要

A dispensing closure comprising a closure base, a dispensing disk, a magnet, and a fastener. The magnet and closure base sandwich the dispensing disk, which are all held together with the fastener. A user fills ajar with items to be dispensed and stored and then mounts the dispensing closure onto the jar with a jar screw band. To dispense the items, the user rotates the dispensing disk to an open position and then inverts the jar. To store and display, the user rotates the dispensing disk to a closed position and then attaches the jar with the magnet to a surface attracted to a magnet. The design allows for manual seal and storage in any orientation (horizontally, vertically, or some other odd angle) and for the dispensing disks to be easily switched. The dispensing closure may further comprise a spacer, which enables easier rotation of the dispensing disk.

主权项

1. A dispensing closure provided for a container having a threaded neck portion terminating in an annular rim defining the periphery of an open mouth, said dispensing closure comprising the following:
a. a dispensing disk made of plastic, metal, wood, glass, ceramic or some other rigid or semi-rigid material with a plurality of sections and at least one section containing at least one hole and at least one section without a hole; b. a closure base made of plastic, metal, wood, glass, ceramic or some other rigid or semi-rigid material with at least one hole and where said closure base further comprises a substantially cylindrical spacer where the thickness of said cylindrical spacer is slightly larger than the thickness of said dispensing disk; c. a magnet; d. fastening means for joining said base, said dispensing disk, and said magnet so as to hold said base, said dispensing disk, and said magnet together while also allowing for the rotation of said dispensing disk; whereby said dispensing closure can be mounted onto ajar with ajar screw band, providing the capability to dispense items from the jar, and to manually seal and store the jar magnetically in a horizontal, vertical, or some-other-odd-angle orientation on any surface attracted to said magnet.
