Abstract

A snap-on closure for wide mouth containers has an integral hinged lid which can be lifted, as by the thumb, to provide access for spooning contents out of the mouth. The lid closes on a top flange which is presented by either the closure or the container. The closure has a skirt and snaps onto the container below the top flange or to an attachment bead on the container.
