Abstract
A dispenser cap is threaded onto a container that may hold liquids of varying viscosity. The dispenser cap has a cover that can be flipped open and closed. Integral with this cover is a plurality of bristles that can be used to scrub various surfaces.
Claims3
A cap for a container comprising
- a base member and a cover member attached to the base member by a hinge element to enable the base member and cover member to move between a first position where the cover member covers the base member and a second position where the cover member uncovers the base member,
- said base member including a base member side wall and a base member top wall substantially at a right angle to the base member side wall, said base member top wall having an opening therein and a ledge along at least a portion of a perimeter of said base member top wall,
- said base member top wall having an interior surface with a coupling member adapted to detachably connect the cap to a container,
- said cover member including a cover member side wall and a cover member top wall substantially at a right angle to the cover member side wall,
- said cover member top wall having an exterior surface with a pluralily of bristle elements projecting outward therefrom and an interior surface with a sealing member that seals said opening when the cover member and base member are in the first position,
- said base member, cover member, and hinge element being an integral, unitary structure and
- where the coupling member comprises a cylindrical wall with an internal threaded surface and the base member includes a cylindrical wall with an inside surface and a plurality of radial support members extending between said inside surface and an outside surface of the coupling member cylindrical wall.

A cap for a container comprising
- a base member with an opening therein and a coupling member adapt to be detachably connected to an open dispensing end of the container, said coupling member comprising a cylindrical wall with an internal threaded surface and the base member includes a cylindrical wall with an inside surface and a plurality of radial support members extending between said inside surface and an outside surface of the coupling member cylindrical wall,
- a cover member attached to the base member by a hinge element to enable the base member and cover member to move between a first position where the cover member covers the base member and a second position where the cover member uncovers the base member,
- said cover member having an exterior surface with a plurality of bristle elements projecting outward therefrom and substantially parallel to each other, and
- a sealing member that seals the opening when the cover member and base member are in the first position,
- said base member, cover member, and hinge element being an integral, unitary structure molded from a plastic material, said cap being formed in a mold in which the base member and cover member are in the second position and substantially aligned in the same plane along with said hinge member.
