Measuring/dispensing closure flip-top cap and built in shut-off blade

A container assembly including a container body and a measuring dispensing closure secured to the container body, the closure comprising a hollow body having an opening therein, and a pivotable flip top, said flip top mounted on the body for pivotal motion about a horizontal hinge axis between closed and open positions, said flip top having a first planar cap portion sized and adapted to cover said opening, and second press portion adapted to be pressed by a user to move said flip top from said closed to said open position;

• said hollow body having an internal, curved weir panel located below said opening and having an edge extending parallel with said hinge axis thus establishing a weir opening adjacent said weir edge, said weir panel defining, in cooperation with an underside portion of said flip top and a peripheral portion of said opening, a measuring chamber within said closure, and wherein said flip top is formed with a shut-off blade extending downwardly from and substantially perpendicularly to said planar cap portion, said shut-off blade movable into engagement with said weir edge when said flip top is in said open position.
