A measuring dispensing cap for a container comprising a peripheral sidewall and a pivotable flip top supported on the peripheral sidewall for rocking movement about a hinge axis; the hinge axis separating a push panel portion of the flip top from a dispensing panel portion of the flip top; and wherein a measuring chamber is formed an area enclosed the peripheral sidewall underlying the dispensing panel portion; wherein the measuring chamber is defined by a portion of the peripheral sidewall, the dispensing panel portion, and by an angled weir panel extending from the peripheral sidewall downwardly and inwardly, terminating at a weir edge in substantial vertical alignment with the hinge axis, thereby creating a weir opening into the chamber; and wherein the flip top is formed with a depending flange which engages the weir panel edge when the flip top is opened to thereby close the weir opening.
A measuring dispensing cap for a container comprising a peripheral sidewall and a pivotable flip top, said flip top having a push panel portion and a dispensing panel portion separated by a hinge axis, said flip top mounted for pivotal motion about said hinge axis, said peripheral sidewall having an internal weir panel having an edge extending parallel to and substantially vertically aligned with said hinge axis thus establishing a weir opening between said weir edge and said flip top, and defining, in cooperation with at least a portion of said flip top, an open-ended measuring chamber within said cap;
A measuring dispensing cap for a container comprising a peripheral sidewall and a pivotable flip top, said flip top having a push panel portion and a dispensing panel portion separated by a hinge axis, said flip top mounted for pivotal motion about said hinge axis, said peripheral sidewall having an internal weir panel having an edge extending parallel to and vertically aligned with said hinge axis thus establishing a weir opening between said weir edge and said flip top, and defining, in cooperation with at least a portion of said flip top, an open-ended measuring chamber within said cap;
A measuring dispensing cap for a container comprising a peripheral sidewall and a pivotable flip top supported on said peripheral sidewall for rocking movement about a hinge axis;
A measuring dispensing cap for a container comprising a peripheral sidewall and a pivotable flip top mounted for pivotal motion about a hinge axis which separates said flip top into a push panel portion and a dispensing panel portion;
