Snap-on closure for bottles

摘要

Plastic dispensing closures adapted for use on bottles containing products such as syrup and the like and which have an integral handle include a snap-on base adapted to be securely attached to the neck of the bottle and shaped to form a pouring spout, and a pivotal lidi based into engagement with the base, the lid having a thumb-engagable extension positioned adjacent to the handle to facilitate opening and closing of the lid. The closures include a non-releasable tear-away inner seal connected to a pull ring, and are attached to the bottle such that they cannot be removed without being permanently deformed, thereby affording a tamper-evident closure. The closures are capable of accommodating a rather large dimensional bottle tolerance, thereby enabling them to be employed on plastic as well as glass bottles. The closures may be formed as either one-piece or two-piece structures.
