Two piece, T-shaped dispensing tap and method of making same

A dispensing tap comprising:

• a hollow tubular body having a T-shape with a narrowing funnel portion defining a container attachment end, a tapering sidewall defining a dispensing port end, an upper sidewall defining a cap-receiving end, and a flow channel fluidically connecting the container attachment end to the cap-receiving end and the dispensing port end and wherein:
• (i) an outer facing of the upper sidewall is provided with at least one radially extending outer camming protrusion, (ii) an inner facing of the upper sidewall is provided with at least one annular sealing bead and at least one radially extending inner camming protrusion, and (iii) an inner facing of the tapering sidewall is provided with an annular outlet sealing bead, wherein the outer camming protrusion on the outer facing is formed adjacent and opposite to the inner camming protrusion on the inner facing;
• and
• a cap having an skirt coaxially fitted around an sealing cylinder and a top panel connected to top terminal edges of the skirt and the sealing cylinder and wherein:
• (a) at least one camming groove spirals axially along each of an inner facing of the skirt and an outer facing of the sealing cylinder, (b) a bottom terminal edge of the sealing cylinder extends axially beyond a bottom terminal edge of the skirt, and (c) when the cap is fitted over the upper sidewall of the body, the cap-receiving end of the upper sidewall is positioned in a gap formed between the skirt and the sealing cylinder, and the inner and outer camming protrusions are received in the at least one camming groove.
