A flexible, pressure-openable dispensing valve (30, 39 A, 30B) has a mounting base (80, 80B) and has an outwardly extending, narrowing head (90, 90B) defining a dispensing orifice at the distal end.
A dispensing system (20, 2OA, 20B) includes a body (30, 30A, 30B) having a base (40, 40B) for extending from a container (22, 22B), and a support column (54, 54B) projecting from the base (40, 40B). A discharge passage (56, 56B) extends through the body (30, 3OA, 30B) and support column (54, 54B). A flexible, pressure-openable dispensing valve (32, 32B) has a skirt (80, 80B) mounted on the support column (54, 54B) and has an outwardly extending, narrowing head (90, 90B) defining a dispensing orifice at the distal end. A clamp member (34, 34B) fits around the valve skirt (80, 80B) and is engaged with the body (30, 3OA, 30B) to hold the body (30, 30A, 30B), valve (32, 32B), and clamp member (34, 34B) together.

A dispensing closure (20) is provided for dispensing a product from a container (22) having an opening (28). The closure (20) includes a pressure actuatable dispensing valve (32) mounted inwardly of a nozzle end wall (56) that defines discharge apertures (58). Each aperture (58) has an inner passage (60) with an outer end (64) communicating with an inner end of an outer passage (62). The inner end of the outer passage (62) has a smaller cross-sectional flow area than the cross-sectional flow area of the outer end (64) of the inner passage (60).

A positive orientation container (30) and closure (32) combination is provided. The container (30) includes at least one flange segment (44) having a front (48) and a back face (52). The container (30) further includes a gap (60) defined by the front face (48) of one of the flange segments (44) and the back face (52) of one of the flange segments (44). The closure (32) includes a plurality of collar segments (70). The closure (32) includes at least one collar segment (70) having an engagement face (74) to establish a positive orientation of the closure (32) at a predetermined position.

A dispensing structure (20) is provided for a container (22) that has an opening (26) from which a product can be dispensed. The structure (20) includes a body (30) for extending around the container opening (26). The body (30) defines an upper deck (74) and also defines a recessed lower deck (76) defining at least a portion of a first dispensing aperture (80) communicating with the container opening (26). An intermediate member (40) defines at least one second dispensing aperture (96) that is smaller than the first dispensing aperture (80). The intermediate member (40) is pivotable about an axis between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the intermediate member (40) has a top surface (92) that is preferably generally flush with the upper surface (74) of the upper deck (74). A lid (50) is pivotable on the closure body (30) about a different axis and can be closed to occlude the second dispensing aperture (96).
A closure (40) is provided for a container opening. The closure (40) includes a body (50) for mounting to the container and a lid (70) movable between a closed position and an open position. The lid (70) and body (50) are connected by a bistable, snap-action hinge structure (80) having a web (100) between two hinges (121, 122). Stress-relief recesses (defined in part by edges 260, 270; 260 A, 270A) are provided at an end edge (102', 102A') of either the body hinge (121) or the lid hinge (122) or both.
A dispenser (30) is provided for dispensing tablets (42). The dispenser (30) generally includes a housing (32) and a compartment (34). The compartment (34) is pivotable with respect to the housing (32) between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position. The dispenser (30) may also include a biasing member (100) to bias the compartment (34) to the non- dispensing position and a rib (74) to resist accidental pivoting of the compartment (34).
