A dispensing cap construction for containers, having a cap body for attachment to a container neck, and having a discharge spout portion through which the container contents can be discharged, and a closure cap turnably carried by the cap body. The closure cap has a non-round or slit-shaped orifice, and a stopper blade in the closure cap is received in the orifice so as to close it off. The stopper blade is rotatably mounted on the spout portion of the cap body to enable it to rotate simultaneously with, or in unison with turning movements of the closure cap. The cross section of the stopper blade is such that it can fit sealingly in the orifice. The cross section of the blade is, in the disclosed embodiment, substantially of rectangular or oblong configuration. In addition, there are cooperable elements on the cap body and closure cap, for effecting relative axial movement of the stopper blade and the closure cap in response to turning of the closure cap on the cap body, thereby to enable the stopper blade to close and open the orifice. Where the orifice is slit-shaped it imparts a wide and thin, ribbon-shaped characteristic to the discharged product, and is especially well adapted for dispensing mustard, ketchup, cream dressings or the like where such a ribbon characteristic is desired.
