Abstract
A closure is configured for sealing engagement with an associated container, and includes a recessed, hinged cover. The closure has a circular top wall portion defining an edge region. A channel is formed in the top wall portion extending to the edge region. The channel defines an open end and a closed end and is formed by a pair of side walls and a bottom wall. A dispensing opening is formed in the channel bottom wall. An annular skirt depends from the top wall portion at about the edge region and includes a container engaging portion for engaging the container. A cover is pivotally connected to the top wall portion for movement within the channel between an open position wherein the cover is pivoted away from the dispensing opening and a closed position wherein the cover overlies the dispensing opening and extends to about the channel open end.
