Baffled Dispensing Closure

A dispensing closure assembly that includes:

• a base having a skirt with a longitudinal axis, an opening remote from said skirt, an inner wall extending inwardly from an inner periphery of said opening, and a baffle wall carried at an inner end of said inner wall and connected to said inner end of said inner wall by connecting elements such that fluid flow passages are formed between said connecting elements, said inner end of said inner wall and an outer periphery of said baffle wall, and
• a closure secured to said base and overlying said opening, said closure having a deck overlying said opening, an outlet orifice in said deck, and an outlet conduit extending through said deck inwardly from said outlet orifice and coaxially with said inner wall of said base,
• wherein a fluid chamber is at least partially defined radially inwardly of said inner wall, and fluid flowing between said connecting elements enters said fluid chamber and then flows into said outlet conduit and out said outlet orifice.

A dispensing closure assembly that includes:

• a closure base including an opening of said closure base, an outer wall extending axially inwardly and tapering radially outwardly, and an inner wall extending axially inwardly and terminating in an inner end carrying a baffle wall and including fluid flow passages, and
• a closure including a collar coupled to said closure base and having a transversely extending deck with an outlet orifice and also having an orifice tube outlet conduit in communication with said outlet orifice and extending axially toward said baffle wall of said closure base and terminating in an open end spaced from said baffle wall, wherein a fluid chamber is defined between said orifice tube outlet conduit and said inner wall of said closure base,
• such that product being dispensed flows through said fluid flow passages and enters said fluid chamber before flowing into said orifice tube outlet conduit and out said outlet orifice.

A dispensing closure assembly that includes:

• a closure base including a deck having an outlet orifice, an orifice tube outlet conduit extending from said deck generally coaxially with respect to said outlet orifice, and an inner wall extending from said deck generally coaxially with respect to said orifice tube outlet conduit, wherein a fluid chamber is at least partially defined between said orifice tube outlet conduit and said inner wall, and
• a baffle coupled to said closure base and including a baffle wall carried radially inwardly of said inner wall, wherein one or more fluid flow passages are defined between said inner wall and said baffle wall, said baffle wall including a central portion opposed to said orifice tube outlet conduit and a raised peripheral portion extending axially and radially outwardly from said central portion,
• such that fluid flowing through said fluid flow passages enters said fluid chamber through said fluid flow passages, is directed toward said inner wall by said baffle wall, and then flows into said orifice tube outlet conduit and out said outlet orifice.
