of the terminal end 50 is greater than the outer diameter d 4 of the nozzle 30 and is spaced therefrom when the cap is seated on the container to provide an easy circumferentially extending gripping area for removing the cap when desired this arrangement makes it easier to guide the cap over the nozzle 30 of the container without looking in other words it provides a bigger target the top 42 as illustrated has a circumferentially extending outwardly directed flange 60 having a flat downwardly depending face 62 generally perpendicular to the axis a a of the container and the upper face of the flange 60 is slightly tapered the flange 60 functions as a shield to prevent contamination of the nozzle by the gripping fingers of a user during opening the top 42 also includes an upwardly projecting hollow finger 66 having an opening 68 adjacent the lower face of the flange 60 which is of a diameter d 5 less than the diameter d 6 of the discharge opening 36 to provide a stepped configuration it has been found that stepped bore provides a cleaner break minimizing the formation of jagged edges and thus minimizing the risk of injury to the mouth of the user when discharging medicament orally this configuration also prevents sealing over the material and blockage of the discharge opening when initially removing the cap from the container in the fractured zone area 80 the juncture of the discharge opening 36 and finger opening 68 defines a fracturable wall 80 for separation of the cap from the closure along the plane p p the flange 60 forms a stiffened pivot point zone and a finger guide stop so again you do not.
