Dispensing cap with internal measuring chamber

A measuring/dispensing cap adapted for attachment to an open upper end of a container the cap comprising:

• a substantially horizontal top and a peripheral skirt extending downwardly from said top, said skirt having means for removably attaching the cap to the container;
• a partition extending parallel to said top and separating said peripheral skirt into upper and lower sections, such that a substantially cylindrical measuring chamber is defined by said top, said upper section of said skirt and said partition;
• and wherein at least one of said top and upper section of said peripheral skirt is provided with volume indicators;
• said partition formed with a weir aperture therein on one side of a diametrical centerline extending across said cap, said weir aperture formed in a portion of said partition lying parallel with said substantially horizontal top, said aperture having a weir edge extending parallel to and laterally spaced from said centerline;
• said top including at least one dispensing door having a peripheral, arcuate depending flange frictionally engageable over a corresponding arcuate portion of an upper edge of said upper section of said skirt, said depending flange and said upper edge having cooperating means for enabling snap fit engagement therebetween, said dispensing door pivotally secured to said top by a first integral hinge having a hinge axis parallel to said centerline and said weir edge, and wherein a portion of the door opposite said hinge axis lies on the other side of said diametrical centerline.
