Claim:
In an integrally-formed cover for a container comprising a cylindrical portion, a top portion having a shaker opening and a spooning opening, a shaker flap having an outer edge with a downwardly extending skirt and coupled to the top portion and configured for selective movement between an open position in which the shaker opening is opened and a closed position in which the shaker opening is covered by the shaker flap, a spooning flap having an outer edge with a downwardly extending skirt and coupled to the top portion and configured for selective movement between an open position in which the spooning opening is opened and a closed position in which the spooning opening is covered by the spooning flap, at least one projection extending from the shaker flap to releasably retain the shaker flap in the closed position, the improvement comprising: the projection extending from the shaker flap comprises a tab; and a guide provided with the tab so that movement of the shaker flap from the open position to the closed position initially brings the guide into wedging interaction with an inner edge of the shaker opening and further movement of the shaker flap brings the tab into wedging interaction with the inner edge of the shaker opening; so that the shaker flap is retained in the closed position by the wedging interaction of the tab against the inner edge of the shaker opening.
