Abstract:
A dispensing closure for dispensing liquid, comprising an outer nozzle component ( 6 ) defining a nozzle opening ( 66 ) and a valve assembly ( 7 ) disposed in the closure upstream of the nozzle opening, the valve assembly comprising an outer valve element ( 3 ) and a generally rigid intermediate valve seat element ( 4 ) disposed inwardly of the outer valve element, the outer valve element comprising an outer valve flap ( 38 ) and the intermediate valve element ( 4 ) defining an outflow opening ( 451 ) bordered by an outer seat region ( 411,471 ), the outer valve flap ( 38 ) being movable between a closed position, in which it overlaps the outer seat region of the intermediate valve element to close the outflow opening ( 451 ) against inflow therethrough, and an open position, in which it is deflected away from the outer seat region ( 411,471 ) to open the outflow opening for outflow.

Claim (Index 2):
A dispensing closure of  claim 1  in which the valve assembly defines an inflow opening bordered by an inner seat region, and comprises an inner valve flap with a closed position in which it engages around the inner seat region to close the inflow opening against outflow therethrough and an open position in which it is deflected to open the inflow opening.
