Patent ID: 8434652

Claim:
A cap and elongated nozzle assembly, comprising: the elongated nozzle having a longitudinal axis and comprising: a base portion with an intake end and an opposed shoulder portion; an upper portion extending axially from the shoulder portion to a distal dispensing end, the upper portion having a reduced cross section relative to the base portion; an internal conduit running from the intake end to the dispensing end, for delivering product from the intake end to the dispensing end; engaging formations provided on the upper portion capable of inter-engaging with co-operating engaging formations on the cap to removably hold the cap in the closed position on the nozzle; the cap having an elongate cap body with a longitudinal axis, an outside surface and an inside surface, the cap body comprising: a first closed end longitudinally spaced from a second open end, the second end defining a mouth and connected to the inside surface; at least one sidewall integrally formed with and depending from the closed end to define a housing, the housing for receiving and overfitting at least a part of the nozzle upper portion; engaging formations provided on the inside surface capable of inter-engaging with co-operating engaging formations on the nozzle to removably hold the cap in the closed position on the nozzle; a plurality of elongate, angularly spaced apart wing portions, each wing portion having an inner part proximate the longitudinal axis of the cap, an outer part radially spaced therefrom, and two exterior opposing faces, each exterior face forming part of the outside surface of the cap, each wing portion exterior face contiguous with the next wing portion exterior face so that an exterior face of one wing portion together with an exterior face of an adjacent wing portion form one continuous surface between adjacent wing portions, the wing portions defining a diameter around the cap longitudinal axis that is substantially the same adjacent the first and second ends; wherein each wing portion includes a raised portion adjacent one outer part of each wing extending for a portion of the wing portion, said raised portion having a triangular shape with a wider base adjacent said open end and a narrower extent adjacent said closed end so as to provide a helical look and effect for visual indication to a user of the direction of twisting for removal of the cap.
