Abstract
A package includes a container and a closure cap for mounting on the container. The closure cap is coupled to a neck of the container to block selectively removal of product stored within the container at the selection of a user.
Claims20
A package comprising
- a container formed to include an opening arranged to open into an internal volume formed in the container and adapted to store a product therein and
- a closure cap including a top wall having a central cover and a spacer wall arranged to extend away from the cover and around an axis of the closure cap, an annular inner sleeve arranged to extend away from the top wall along the axis, the central cover and annular inner sleeve cooperate to define a product-receiving region configured to receive product dispensed from the container therein, and an outer shell arranged to extend around the inner annular sleeve and couple to the top wall by an annular outer sleeve arranged to extend away from the top wall along the axis,
- wherein the annular outer sleeve is coupled to the spacer wall and spaced radially outward from the inner sleeve and the inner sleeve, spacer wall, and outer sleeve cooperate to define a residual-product catch basin configured to collect residual product remaining on the inner sleeve after a user discharges product from the container into the product-receiving region to allow the residual product to flow back into the container through the opening when the closure cap is mounted on the container.
