Abstract
An easy opening dispenser closure is disclosed having a top and an annular depending base skirt with a lid mounted on the top. The lid has a downwardly depending annular edge which in turn has an extension with an end shaped to fit the end of a thumb. The skirt has a thumb recess in which the extension fits. The extension locks the lid securely and detachably to the base skirt. The lid has a chamfered edge on the top to assist in centering the entire closure on the container during capping.
