An injection-molded thermoplastic closure with shake-and-spoon apertures and associated flaps for selectively closing and opening the apertures. The flaps are releasably retained in their closed positions by catch elements which provide retention forces that are relatively insensitive to dimensional and shape variations in the body resulting from the molding process. In one embodiment, the cap has âfreeze pointsâ and a gate location that reduce the tendency of the cap to assume an oval condition when cooled from molding temperatures. A wide sealing ledge cooperates with a central support for a liner seal positioned in the cap to seal the mouth of a container.

A locking mechanism is provided on first ends of the base, tray and lid and lock the base, lid and tray in a generally flat extended end-to-end relationship for display with the tray being pivoted into the lid so that the compact disc is secure between the lid and tray. Graphic sheets are placed over the base and lid when in the extended and locked position, and then covered with a clear plastic wrapper for display. After purchase, the wrapper and graphic sheets are removed and the base and lid pulled slightly apart to an unlocked position.

A tamper-evident dispenser end closure including an imperforate hermetically sealed base and a rotor pivotally connected to the base by a snap-fit between a female pocket formed in the base and an annular male protrusion formed in the rotor. The protrusion contains an opening for visual detection of tampering with the pocket of the base. The base and rotor are retained in a close superposed relationship by the snap-fit pocket and protrusion. Frangible means are provided which tear or break when an attempt is made to separate the base from the rotor thereby evidencing tampering with the rotor. The base and rotor have webs provided with means defining respective dispensing apertures.

An automatic drip beverage brewing apparatus in the form an urn includes a liquid reservoir, a brewed beverage reservoir, a brewing basket for holding coffee or tea over an opening to the beverage reservoir, a spigot in the brewed beverage reservoir for draining brewed beverage from the brewed beverage reservoir, and a cover which covers both the liquid reservoir and the brewed beverage reservoir. The brewed beverage reservoir includes a liner which provides an insulative air gap between the liner and the housing which defines the brewed beverage reservoir. A warming element is attached to the brewed beverage reservoir liner. A swing arm shower head is positionable over an opening to the brewing basket. A conduit provides a liquid passageway from the liquid reservoir to a liquid heating element to the shower head. The liquid and beverage reservoirs may be integrally formed by a common housing mountable upon a base which houses the heating element.
