Abstract
A toggle-action container dispensing closure is provided for manipulation between a closed, non-dispensing orientation and an open, dispensing orientation. An actuator is mounted on a body and is tiltable between a closed position and an open position. A locking member is slidably disposed on the actuator for movement between an extended, locked position and a retracted, unlocked position. In the locked position the locking member overlies an abutment surface on the body to prevent pivoting of the actuator to the open position. When the locking member is retracted, the locking member clears the body abutment surface to permit pivoting of the actuator to the open position.
