Container, closure, and methods of manufacture and use

A closure cap comprising:

• a base including an inner skirt with threads to attach the closure cap to a container body, the base including:
• a central member with an opening for fluid to flow through,
• a skirt depending from the central member, the skirt having skirt threads corresponding to neck threads of the container body to thereby secure the closure cap relative to the container body, and
• an internal shaft disposed on an interior surface of the central member and about the opening, the internal shaft having threads disposed thereon;
• a flip-top lid hingedly connected to the base;
• a movable tube threaded onto the internal shaft via corresponding threads to thereby form an expandable serum well;
• and
• a liner disposed at an end of an annular ring and secured thereto;
• wherein the movable tube has an extension that engages the liner such that when the closure cap is subsequently at least partially unthreaded from the container body, the movable tube is retained in position relative to the container body and the liner to thereby expand the expandable serum well.

A dispensing bottle comprising:

• a container body having a neck defining an opening, the neck including threads thereon;
• a seal liner having a lower surface secured to the container body to seal the opening and an upper surface opposite the lower surface;
• and
• a closure cap having a base including a dispensing opening and a skirt with threads thereon configured to engage the threads of the neck of the container body,
• the closure cap including an extendable tube forming a fluid flow channel to the dispensing opening, the extendable tube movable between a contracted configuration and an extended configuration having increased axial length relative to the contracted configuration, wherein the extendable tube is in the contracted configuration when the closure cap is initially threaded to the container body with the extendable tube engaging the upper surface of the seal liner and is moved to the extended configuration as the closure cap is unthreaded from the closure cap from the container body;
• wherein the extendable tube includes a first portion secured to or extending from the base with first threads thereon and a second portion with second threads thereon and the second portion does not rotate relative to the neck of the container body when the closure cap is initially unthreaded from the container body to thereby unthread the second portion of the extendable tube from the first portion of the extendable tube.

A closure cap comprising:

• a base including a dispensing opening and a skirt with threads thereon configured to engage neck threads of a container body;
• and
• an extendable tube extending from the base and forming a fluid flow channel to the dispensing opening, the extendable tube movable between a contracted configuration and an extended configuration having increased axial length relative to the contracted configuration, wherein the extendable tube is configured to be in the contracted configuration when the closure cap is initially threaded to the container body with an end of the extendable tube engaging an upper surface of a seal liner;
• wherein the extendable tube includes a first portion fixed to or extending from the base, the first portion having first threads and a second portion having second threads thereon and wherein the second portion of the extendable tube is configured to move to the extended configuration as the closure cap is unthreaded from the container body while the second portion does not rotate relative to a neck of the container body when the closure cap is initially unthreaded from the container body.
