Description of the Preferred Embodiments Referring to FIGS. 1-4, in accordance with the invention, the dispensing closure 20 embodying the invention comprises a compression molded plastic closure 22 and a combined liner and nozzle 24 compression molded in place in the plastic closure 22. The plastic closure 22 comprises a base wall 26having an opening 28 therein and an integral peripheral skirt 30. The skirt 30 includes means on the inner surface thereof for eng~inP complementary means on a squeezable plastic container, the means herein shown comprising threads 32.Theplastic closure is made of plastic such as polypropylene. The combined liner and10 nozzle 24 is made of highly resilient elastomeric material.
The combined liner and nozzle comprises an ~nmll~r liner portion 34 eng~in~ the inner surface 36 of the base wall 26 of the plastic closure 22. The combined liner and nozzle 24 includes an integral nozzle portion 38 which extends axially through the opening 28 in spaced relation to a cylindrical ~nmll~r axial15 portion 40 which defines the opening in the plastic closure 22. Nozzle portion 38 includes an integral axial wall 42 extending from the liner portion 34 and an integral convex dome portion 44 having one or more slits 46 therethrough which open upon squeezing the container on which the dispensing closure 20 is positioned. As shown in FIG. 4, the liner portion 34 preferably includes an integral peripheral axial portion 48 extending along a short cylindrical portion 50 on a shoulder 52 at the juncture of the base wall 26 and skirt 30. In addition, the liner portion 34 preferably includes an integral ~nmll~r bead 54 on the upper surface thereof which engages a complementary surface at the juncture of the 5 axial portion 40 and base wall 26.
In accordance with the invention, the dispensing closure is made by first compression molding the closure 22 and thereafter compression molding the combined liner and dispensing nozzle 24 in the closure 22. In order to simplify the method of m~mlf~cture, the plastic closure 22 is formed with an integral disk 10or cull 60 connected to the base wall 26 by a thin ~nmll~r web 62 (FIGS. 5-8).
Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the disk 60 is removed by inverting the plastic closure 22 and placing it in a holder 64 which holds the plastic closure 22 in position for moving a cutting tool 66 having an ~nmll~r cutting edge 68 for severing the disk 60 and web 62 from the rem~in~ler of the closure 22.
15Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, the plastic closure 22 is then placed in a holder 70 for receiving the closure 22 which includes a tool 72 extending into the axial portion 40 and defining a cavity 74 for receiving a charge of molten plastic P. A compression molding tool 76 is then moved axially into the apparatus 70 to compression mold the combined liner and nozzle 24. The periphery of the tool 76 engages the threads 32 on the closure 22 and the shoulder 52 to close the cavity 74. The end of the tool 76 is configured with an ~nmll~r surface 78 for forming the liner portion and an axial portion 80 for forming the nozzle portion.
Referring to FIG. 13, the dispensing closure is then placed in a holder 82 where 5 a base tool 84 contacts the nozzle portion and a cutting tool 86 is moved axially to cut one or more slits 46 in the nozzle portion.
In a prererred mode, as shown in Figs. 1~18, a single holder 100 is provided and after the closure 22 is compression molded, it is used as a holder for the compression molded closure in performing the successive steps of severing the 10 disc, compression molding the combined liner and nozzle 24 in the closure and forming the slits 46. Preferably, the holder 100 is one of a plurality of holders moved in an endless path, as by mounting on rotating turret which is moved past adjacent successive stations including a disc severing station; compression molding station for forming the liner and nozzle and a slitting station.
The compression molding is preferably by the method and apparatus described in United States patent application Serial No. 08/135,829 filed October 14, 1993 (OI 16662), and Serial No. 08/135,828 incorporated herein by reference filed October 14, 1993 (OI 16647).
Referlil.g to Figs. 13 and 18, the tool 84 and cutting tool 86 can be reversed such that the cutting tool 86a is moved upwardly rather than downwardlyand tool 84a is stationary.
In a modified form shown in Figs. 19-23, the closure 22a is molded S with top section 60a that comprises a base wall 102 and an integral wall 104 molded integrally with the cylindrical axial portion 40a. A weakened line 106 isformed and extends circumferentially at the juncture of the wall 102 and axial portion 40a. The top section 60a is severed from the closure 22a along weakened line 106 separating the wall 102 from axial wall portion 40a. The liner and nozzle 44a is compression molded as described above. The top section 60a can be inverted and used as a cap (Fig. 23) with the cylindrical wall 104 extending into the space between the axial wall portion 40a and the liner and the base wall 102eng~ing the upper wall 44a of the liner 24a.
In the modified form shown in Fig. 24, the dispensing closure 20b includes a plastic closure 22b which has a shortened axial wall portion 40b connected by a weakened line 106b to the cylindrical wall 104b of the top section 60b, such that upon severing by the user, the top section 60b it can be used as a removable cap.
Although the invention has been described as being directed to m~king a dispensing closure, it is also applicable to m~kin~ a closure for a package wherein a syringe needle is used to penetrate an elastomeric wall for removal ofthe liquid contents of the package.
S It can thus be seen that there has been provided a dispensing closure comprises a plastic closure having a base wall with an opening therethrough and a peripheral skirt having means such as threads for eng~in~ a container. A
compression molded liner is formed in situ in the closure and includes a radial liner forming portion on the inner surface of the base wall of the closure. An 10 integral nozzle is compression molded with the liner and extends axially through the opening in the base wall. One or more slits in the nozzle define a dispensing opening through which the contents of the container can be dispensed by squeezing the container. The invention is also applicable to m~king a closure for a package wherein a syringe needle is used to penetrate an elastomeric wall for removal of15 the liquid contents of the package.

Preferably, the holder 100 is one of a plurality of holders moved in an endless path, as by mounting on rotating turret which is moved past adjacent successive stations including a disc severing station; compression molding station for forming the liner and nozzle and a slitting station.
The compression molding is preferably by the method and apparatus described in United States patent application Serial No. 08/135,829 filed October 14, 1993 (OI 16662), and Serial No. 08/135,828 incorporated herein by reference filed October 14, 1993 (OI 16647).
Referlil.g to Figs. 13 and 18, the tool 84 and cutting tool 86 can be reversed such that the cutting tool 86a is moved upwardly rather than downwardlyand tool 84a is stationary.
In a modified form shown in Figs. 19-23, the closure 22a is molded S with top section 60a that comprises a base wall 102 and an integral wall 104 molded integrally with the cylindrical axial portion 40a. A weakened line 106 isformed and extends circumferentially at the juncture of the wall 102 and axial portion 40a. The top section 60a is severed from the closure 22a along weakened line 106 separating the wall 102 from axial wall portion 40a. The liner and nozzle 44a is compression molded as described above. The top section 60a can be inverted and used as a cap (Fig. 23) with the cylindrical wall 104 extending into the space between the axial wall portion 40a and the liner and the base wall 102eng~ing the upper wall 44a of the liner 24a.
In the modified form shown in Fig. 24, the dispensing closure 20b includes a plastic closure 22b which has a shortened axial wall portion 40b connected by a weakened line 106b to the cylindrical wall 104b of the top section 60b, such that upon severing by the user, the top section 60b it can be used as a removable cap.
Although the invention has been described as being directed to m~king a dispensing closure, it is also applicable to m~kin~ a closure for a package wherein a syringe needle is used to penetrate an elastomeric wall for removal ofthe liquid contents of the package.
S It can thus be seen that there has been provided a dispensing closure comprises a plastic closure having a base wall with an opening therethrough and a peripheral skirt having means such as threads for eng~in~ a container. A
compression molded liner is formed in situ in the closure and includes a radial liner forming portion on the inner surface of the base wall of the closure. An 10 integral nozzle is compression molded with the liner and extends axially through the opening in the base wall. One or more slits in the nozzle define a dispensing opening through which the contents of the container can be dispensed by squeezing the container. The invention is also applicable to m~king a closure for a package wherein a syringe needle is used to penetrate an elastomeric wall for removal of15 the liquid contents of the package.
