<p>A non-aerosol dispensing overcap closure (12) for a container (11) filled with a fluid medium is composed of a (A) dispenser/container seal unit (13) which both seals the open end (15) of the container (11) and contains a non-aerosol means (31-34) for dispensing the fluid medium within the container (11) and further contains at least one flange (38) extending from an exterior wall of the seal unit (13) for receiving (B) a shroud member (14) which overlies the seal unit (13) and through which the dispensing means (31-34) extends to permit the fluid medium to pass through the shroud member (14). The shroud member (14) is adapted to form an integral portion of the container (11) and thus aesthetically blends in with the design of the container (11) to form an attractive non-aerosol container package (10). The shroud member (14) contains a means for fixing an interior surface (39) of the shroud member to the flange (38) of the seal unit (13) which can be in the form of plastic pins (36) extending from the interior surface (39) of the shroud member (14) through corresponding openings (37) in the flange (38) or flanges (38) of the seal unit (13) to permit permanent attachment of the shroud member (14) to the seal unit (13). The overcap (12) has the advantage that the same dispenser/container seal unit (13) can be used with a variety of shroud members (14) and thus on a variety of containers (11).</p> |
