Dispensing closure with tamper evident lid panel

A closure structure for a container, comprising:

• a body having a containing wall for closing the container and having a dispensing orifice through said containing wall;
• a lid operatively associated with the containing wall to cover said dispensing orifice in a closed position and uncover said dispensing orifice when said lid is moved away from said closed position;
• and
• a tamper-indicating member including a press portion connected by a hinge to said lid, and an anchor portion connected to said body, said press portion connected at a frangible junction to said anchor portion, whereby said press portion can be moved sufficiently about said hinge, relative to said anchor portion, to separate said press portion from said anchor portion, said body including a recess adjacent said press portion, said press portion being deflectable into said recess when said frangible junction is broken.

A closure structure for a container, comprising:

• a body having a containing wall for closing the container and having a dispensing orifice through said containing wall;
• a lid operatively associated with the containing wall to cover said dispensing orifice in a closed position and uncover said dispensing orifice when said lid is moved away from said closed position;
• and
• a tamper-indicating member including a press portion connected by a hinge to said lid, and an anchor portion connected to said body, said press portion connected at a frangible junction to said anchor portion, whereby said press portion can be moved sufficiently about said hinge, relative to said anchor portion, to separate said press portion from said anchor portion, said frangible junction comprising a gap separating said press portion and said anchor portion, and a plurality of bridge members spanning said gap and extending between said press portion and said anchor portion.

A closure structure for a container, comprising:

• a body having a containing wall for closing the container and having a dispensing orifice through said containing wall;
• a lid operatively associated with the containing wall to cover said dispensing orifice in a closed position and uncover said dispensing orifice when said lid is moved away from said closed position;
• and
• a tamper-indicating member including a press portion connected by a hinge to said lid, and an anchor portion connected to said body, said press portion connected at a frangible junction to said anchor portion, whereby said press portion can be moved sufficiently about said hinge, relative to said anchor portion to separate said press portion from said anchor portion, said lid including rib members arranged adjacent to said press portion, said rib members being spaced apart to frictionally engage said press portion when said press portion has moved sufficiently to separate from said anchor portion whereby said rib members hold said press portion separated from said anchor portion.

A closure structure for a container, comprising:

• a body having a containing wall for closing the container and having a dispensing orifice through said containing wall;
• a lid operatively associated with the containing wall to cover said dispensing orifice in a closed position and uncover said dispensing orifice when said lid is moved away from said closed position;
• and
• a tamper-indicating member including a press portion connected by a hinge to said lid, and an anchor portion connected to said body, said press portion connected at a frangible junction to said anchor portion, whereby said press portion can be moved sufficiently about said hinge, relative to said anchor portion to separate said press portion from said anchor portion, said lid including a sealing structure arranged to close said dispensing orifice, said sealing structure being surrounded by a sidewall, said sidewall having a sidewall recess, said press portion being connected by said hinge within said sidewall recess, and said body including a deck having a spout extending therefrom and defining said dispensing orifice, said sidewall being adapted to abut said deck, said press portion being arranged to be displaced into a space between said spout and said sidewall recess when said press portion is separated from said anchor portion.

A closure structure for a container, comprising:

• a body having a containing wall for closing the container and having a dispensing orifice through said containing wall;
• a lid operatively associated with the containing wall to cover said dispensing orifice in a closed position and uncover said dispensing orifice when said lid is moved away from said closed position;
• and
• a tamper-indicating member including a press portion and an anchor portion, said anchor portion defining an aperture therethrough, said body including a head extending radially therefrom, said aperture sized to snap fit over said head to hold said anchor portion to said body, and said press portion is frangibly connected to one of said lid and said anchor portion, and hingedly connected to a respective other of said lid and said anchor portion to connect said lid to said body through said tamper-indicating member, whereby radially pressing said press portion causes said frangible junction to rupture to disconnect said lid from said body at said tamper-indicating member.
