Abstract
An improved flip top closure device for a dispensing opening of a container, comprising a first body member with a flip top adapted to be mounted on the container, and a second body member mounted on the first body member and having a part which is usually in overlapping relation with the flip top to prevent opening thereof, which part is displaceable from said overlapping relation to expose the edge of the flip top for opening thereof and which, by virtue of spring tabs which provide restorative force, will return to the overlapping position without need for external physical manipulation.
