Venting and flow control closure device having repeating vented fracture pattern

A venting and flow control closure device for use with a dispensing opening of a liquid container, said device comprising:

• (a) a metal foil disc having a peripheral sealing area attachable to a rim encircling the dispensing opening of the container;
• (b) a repeating vented fracture pattern having a central portion being substantially zig-zag in shape with peaks and valleys and having a plurality of alternating vents and rupturable bridges formed on said disc and extending from a first edge to an opposite second edge of said peripheral sealing area of said disc;
• (c) said repeating fracture pattern being adapted to provide automatic adjustment of the internal pressure of the container to the atmospheric pressure by allowing air to be exchanged therethrough and being adapted for passage of the liquid stored in the container at a rate which provides sufficient time for a user to place an uncapped inverted container over a receptacle opening for reception of the container's contents before drops of the liquid begin to seep out through said vents of said repeating fracture pattern;
• (d) said repeating fracture pattern on said disc further being rupturable by the user squeezing the container and forcing liquid through said vents of said repeating fracture pattern;
• and
• (e) said alternating vents and said rupturable bridges and said repeating fracture pattern formed therewith enabling said disc to be attached to the rim of the dispensing opening of the container without the need for indexing or centering of the design in the installation process.
