Claims3
A dispensing closure comprising:
- a base element (100) which can be attached to a neck (820) of a container;
- a spout element (200) with a dispensing channel (220), said spout element (200) arranged such that it is axially movable relative to said base element (100) between a retracted position and an extended position, and
- an operating element (300), which is arranged such that it is rotatable relative to said base element (100) between a first position and a second position,
- wherein said base element (100),said spout element (200) and said operating element (300) are arranged such that
- said spout element (200) is in said retracted position when said operating element (300) is in said first position, wherein said dispensing channel (220) of said spout element (200) is closed in said retracted position such that no fluid can be dispensed through said dispensing channel (220), and
- said spout element (200) is moved axially relative to said base element (100) from said retracted position into said extended position when said operating element (300) is rotated from said first position to said second position, wherein said dispensing channel (220) of said spout element (200) is opened in said extended position such that a fluid can be dispense through said dispensing channel (220),
- wherein said based element (100) comprises a sealing portion (120),which is arranged such that it is at least partly positioned within the dispensing channel (220) of said spout element (200) and such that it seals a dispensing opening (220) of said dispensing channel (220) when said spout element (200) is in said retracted position, and
- a tamper-evident element (600) attached by at least one connection member (620) to said base element (100), wherein said operating element (300) comprises at least one destruction element arranged to break said at least one connection member (620) when said operating element (300) is rotated by a predetermined angle out of said first position for the first time.
