Dispensing device for dispensing liquids or fluids in general

A closure and nozzle assembly for use with a dispensing container, the assembly comprising:

• a cap defining a dispensing duct, said cap having a nozzle seat with curved sealing edges, at least one camming surface, and at least one groove disposed along a lower facing of the nozzle seat,
• a rotatable nozzle having an outlet end and a cylindrical- or spherical-shaped end received within the nozzle seat so that the cylindrical- or spherical-shaped end is fluidically sealed to the cap, said rotatable nozzle further defining an internal duct and having a camming seat formed on an external surface of the rotatable nozzle and a corresponding projection formed on a top facing of the rotatable nozzle;
• wherein the corresponding projection is received in the at least one groove to unwanted prevent rotation of the rotatable nozzle relative to the nozzle seat;
• wherein the internal duct forms a sealed flow path with the curved sealing edges when the rotatable nozzle is in a dispensing position;
• wherein an outer surface of the cylindrical- or spherical-shaped end abuts the curved sealing edges and seals the dispensing duct when the rotatable nozzle is in a folded position;
• wherein a plurality of stopper surfaces are spaced apart on the nozzle seat and cooperating upper and lower stopper facings on the rotatable nozzle so that rotation of the rotatable nozzle between the dispensing and folded positions is constrained by one of the stopper surfaces coming into contact with one of the upper and lower facings;
• and
• wherein the at least one camming surface abuts an edge of the camming seat when the rotatable nozzle is in a dispensing position to constrain rotatory movement of the rotatable nozzle between the dispensing position and the folded position.
