Closure for a container

1. A closure configured to fit over a mouth of a receptacle to form a container, the closure comprising:

a body having an open bottom formed of a skirt that defines an outer periphery of the body and an end wall defining a body dispensing aperture and a raised body portion providing a closed barrier; and

a cover coupled to the end wall of the body and having a cover dispensing aperture, the cover being rotatably movable relative to the body between a dispensing position with the cover dispensing aperture substantially aligned with the body dispensing aperture, and a closed position with the cover dispensing aperture substantially aligned with the raised body portion, wherein the cover dispensing aperture includes one or more dividers dividing the cover dispensing aperture into sub-apertures, and wherein each of the one or more dividers includes a flat top surface and extends away from the flat surface to form a pointed bottom edge that projects toward the open bottom of the body.

2. The closure of claim 1 , wherein the flat top surface of the one or more dividers extends between each of the sub-apertures to limit the collection of product between the sub-apertures.

3. The closure of claim 1 , wherein the pointed bottom edge of the one or more dividers extends to contact the raised body portion when the cover is rotated relative to the body to move the cover dispensing aperture over the raised body portion.

4. The closure of claim 1 , wherein the body dispensing aperture is defined by a lip, and wherein the pointed bottom edge of the one or more dividers extends to contact the lip when the cover is rotated relative to the body to move the cover dispensing aperture over the body dispensing aperture.

5. The closure of claim 4 , wherein the pointed bottom edge is configured to collect any product remaining on the lip of the body dispensing aperture and deposit the product through the body dispensing aperture and the open bottom as the cover dispensing aperture rotates over the body dispensing aperture.

6. The closure of claim 1 , wherein the pointed bottom edge of the one or more dividers is configured to divert product from the one or more dividers through the sub-apertures when the cover is in the dispensing position.

7. The closure of claim 1 , wherein the cover includes a handle configured to facilitate movement of the cover between the dispensing position and the closed position, wherein the handle includes segments extending from a central axis of the cover, and wherein each of the segments includes a groove configured to receive a corresponding feature of a stacked container.

8. A closure configured to fit over a mouth of a receptacle to form a container, the closure comprising:

a body having an open bottom formed of a skirt that defines an outer periphery of the body and an end wall defining a body dispensing aperture and a raised body portion providing a closed barrier; and

a cover coupled to the end wall of the body and including:

a cover dispensing aperture and a raised cover portion, the cover being rotatably movable relative to the body between a dispensing position with the cover dispensing aperture substantially aligned with the body dispensing aperture, and a closed position with the cover dispensing aperture substantially aligned with the raised body portion; and

a handle configured to facilitate movement of the cover between the dispensing position and the closed position, wherein the handle includes segments extending from a central axis of the cover and between the cover dispensing aperture and the raised cover portion, and wherein each of the segments includes a groove configured to receive a corresponding feature of a stacked container.

9. The closure of claim 8 , wherein each of the segments includes a bump configured to engage the bottom of a receptacle on a stacked container.

10. The closure of claim 9 , wherein each of the bumps is raised relative to a surrounding surface of the segment to protect the surrounding surface from wear due to the stacked container.

11. The closure of claim 8 , wherein the grooves are located equidistant from the central axis and configured to receive a circular feature of the stacked container having a radius approximately equal to the distance between the central axis and each of the grooves.

12. The closure of claim 8 , wherein each of the segments includes a lip formed by the groove and intended to retain the corresponding feature of the stacked container.

13. The closure of claim 12 , wherein the grooves are configured to retain the corresponding feature in order to limit movement of the stacked container relative to the cover.

14. The closure of claim 8 , wherein the cover dispensing aperture includes one or more dividers defining sub-apertures, and wherein each of the one or more dividers includes a flat top surface and extends away from the flat surface to form a pointed bottom edge that projects toward the open bottom of the body.

15. A closure configured to fit over a mouth of a receptacle to form a container, the closure comprising:

a body having an open bottom formed of a skirt that defines an outer periphery of the body and an end wall defining a body dispensing aperture and a raised body portion providing a closed barrier; and

a cover coupled to the end wall of the body and including:

a cover dispensing aperture, wherein the cover dispensing aperture includes one or more dividers dividing the cover dispensing aperture into sub-apertures, wherein each of the one or more dividers includes a flat top surface extending between the sub-apertures and extends away from the flat surface to form a pointed bottom edge that projects toward the open bottom of the body;

a raised cover portion, the cover being rotatably movable relative to the body between a dispensing position with the cover dispensing aperture substantially aligned with the body dispensing aperture, and a closed position with the cover dispensing aperture substantially aligned with the raised body portion and the raised cover portion substantially aligned with the body dispensing aperture; and

a handle configured to facilitate movement of the cover between the dispensing position and the closed position, wherein the handle includes segments extending from a central axis of the cover and between the cover dispensing aperture and the raised cover portion, and wherein each of the segments includes a groove configured to receive a corresponding feature of a stacked container.

16. The closure of claim 15 , wherein the pointed bottom edge of the one or more dividers extends to contact the raised body portion when the cover is rotated relative to the body to move the cover dispensing aperture over the raised body portion.

17. The closure of claim 15 , wherein the body dispensing aperture is defined by a lip, and wherein the pointed bottom edge of the one or more dividers extends to contact the lip when the cover is rotated relative to the body to move the cover dispensing aperture over the body dispensing aperture.

18. The closure of claim 15 , wherein the pointed bottom edge of the one or more dividers is configured to divert product from the one or more dividers through the sub-apertures when the cover is in the dispensing position.

19. The closure of claim 15 , wherein each of the segments includes a bump configured to engage the bottom of a receptacle on a stacked container, and wherein each of the bumps is raised relative to a surrounding surface of the segment to protect the surrounding surface from wear due to the stacked container.

20. The closure of claim 15 , wherein the grooves are located equidistant from the central axis and configured to receive a circular feature of the stacked container having a radius approximately equal to the distance between the central axis and each of the grooves.
