Abstract
Abstract A dispensing closure in which the discharge passage is provided in an opening or openings in the side wall of the closure. The dispensing position of the closure is accomplished by it's elevation above the upper end of the container by a twist motion when equipped with threads to unscrew, or by a pull-up slide arrangement designed into the container and closure. It is returned by a reverse procedure to a closed and full sealing position for complete protection of the containers ingredients.
