Closure for containers of ophthalmic solutions containing a spout cap

A closure for covering a container comprising a

• base comprising an upper surface and a neck,
• wherein said neck is adapted to be fastened to the opening of a bottle and said upper surface sits above the opening of a bottle and is attached to said neck
• wherein said upper surface comprises a spout
• cap comprising an angled exposed front surface, an angled front inside surface, an apex, and a cap rim
• wherein said cap is pivotally attached to said base to permit movement of the cap relative to the base between a open position and a closed position
• wherein each of said exposed front surface and said angled front inside surface comprises a bottom end and a top end
• wherein the angled exposed front surface sits at an angle from the cap rim at bottom end towards the apex at the top end
• wherein the angled exposed inside surface sits at an angle from the cap rim at bottom end towards the apex at the top end and said angled exposed inside surface comprises a spout cap
• wherein when said cap is closed the spout cap mates with said spout to form a liquid tight seal
• wherein when said cap is opened the liquid tight seal between the spout and the spout cap is broken.

A method of storing an ophthalmic lens solution in a bottle comprising a closure which comprises

• a base comprising an upper surface and a neck,
• wherein said neck is adapted to be fastened to the opening of a bottle and said upper surface sits above the opening of a bottle and is attached to said neck
• wherein said upper surface comprises a spout
• cap comprising an exposed front surface, an front inside surface, and a cap rim
• wherein said cap is pivotally attached to said base to permit movement of the cap relative to the base between a open position and a closed position
• wherein each of said exposed front surface and said front inside surface comprises a bottom end and a top end
• wherein said bottom end of said exposed front surface and said inside surface are located closer to the upper surface when the bottle is in the closed position and the top end is located further away from the upper surface when the bottle is in the closed position
• wherein said inside front surface comprises a spout cap
• wherein when said cap is closed the spout cap mates with said spout to form a liquid tight seal
• wherein when said cap is opened the liquid tight seal between the spout and the spout cap is opened.

A method of storing an ophthalmic lens solution in bottle comprising a closure which comprises

• a base comprising an upper surface and a neck,
• wherein said neck is adapted to be fastened to the opening of a bottle and said upper surface sits above the opening of a bottle and is attached to said neck
• wherein said upper surface comprises a spout
• cap comprising an angled exposed front surface, an angled front inside surface, an apex, and a cap rim
• wherein said cap is pivotally attached to said base to permit movement of the cap relative to the base between a open position and a closed position
• wherein each of said exposed front surface and said angled front inside surface comprises a bottom end and a top end
• wherein the angled exposed front surface sits at an angle from the cap rim at bottom end towards the apex at the top end
• wherein the angled exposed inside surface sits at an angle from the cap rim at bottom end towards the apex at the top end and said angled exposed inside surface comprises a spout cap
• wherein when said cap is closed the spout cap mates with said spout to form a liquid tight seal
• wherein when said cap is opened the liquid tight seal between the spout and the spout cap is broken.

A method of storing an ophthalmic lens solution in a bottle comprising:

• providing a bottle with a closure which comprises:
• a base comprising an upper surface and a neck, wherein said neck is adapted to be fastened to the opening of a bottle and said upper surface sits above the opening of a bottle and is attached to said neck;
• wherein said upper surface comprises a spout comprising an exposed front surface, an front inside surface, and a cap rim;
• wherein said cap is pivotally attached to said base to permit movement of said cap relative to the base between a open position and a closed position;
• wherein each of said exposed front surface and said front inside surface comprises a bottom end and a top end;
• wherein said bottom end of said exposed front surface and said front inside surface are located closer to the upper surface when the bottle is in the closed position and the top end is located further away from the upper surface when the bottle is in the closed position;
• wherein said inside front surface comprises a spout cap;
• wherein when said cap is closed said spout cap mates with said spout to form a liquid tight seal;
• wherein when said cap is opened the liquid tight seal between said spout and said spout cap is opened;
• and placing an ophthalmic lens solution in said bottle.
