Abstract

A closure (30) for a container (31) and a method of producing the same is set forth. The closure (30) is a single integrally-molded spout (32), cap (38) and hinge (40) assembly joining the spout (32) and the cap (38). The closure (30) may also have a membrane (58) and pull-ring (62), also integrally molded as one piece. The cap (38) may have at least one prop (102, 107) for preventing interference from the cap (38) with the pouring of the contents of the container (31). Additionally, the spout (32) may have a step (110) for assisting in the prevention of interference from the cap (38) during pouring, and for providing a predetermined sound every time that the cap (38) is opened. Further, the closure (30) may have a tamper-evident member (161) to indicate that the closure (30) has been opened. Still further, the closure (30) may have an orienting peg (142) for properly orienting the closure (30) on a container (31).
