Abstract
A rotatable spout dispensing tube has a tubular member and associated closure cap with a nozzle. The tubular member neck portion has a planar wall with a central discharge aperture and an upwardly extending arcuate projection, the projection having a gap therethrough. The closure cap has a top wall with a spout thereon, the spout having a passageway which communicates with a central bore, the bore surrounded by a circular rim that seats in the central discharge aperture of the tubular member. An arcuate channel is also provided in the closure cap top wall in which the arcuate projection on the tubular member is slidably fitted. Contents of the tubular member are dispensed by aligning the passageway of the spout with the gap in the arcuate projection and application of pressure on the side wall of the tubular member.
