This relates to a dispensing cap including a cap body and a cover which are connected together by suitable hinges so that the cover may swing between a fully open position and a fully closed position. In association with the hinges, there is a strap which connects a bendable wall portion of the cover to the cap body. The strap, in the open position of the cover, is located on one side of hinge centers and as the cover is swung towards a closed position, the strap passes through an overcenter position where a greater length of strap is required, thus effecting bending of the cover wall portion between the hinges to provide a spring effect. In the closed position of the cover, the strap is on the other side of the hinge center and bending of the cover wall portion is held to a minimum.
