A dispensing structure is provided for an opening to a container. The dispensing structure includes a body for extending from the container around the opening. The dispensing structure defines a discharge aperture communicating with the container opening. An actuator, which defines a pivot axis, is pivotally mounted on the body for occluding flow from the container through the discharge aperture when the actuator is in a closed position and permitting flow from the container when force is applied to the actuator to tilt the actuator to an open position. The actuator includes a first, generally rigid piece which is molded from a material and which defines a force-receiving region on one side of the pivot axis. The actuator includes a second piece which is molded from a material onto the first, rigid, force-receiving region and is bonded to the first, rigid piece to define a finger pad against which a finger may be pressed to tilt the actuator to the open position.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A toggle-action dispensing structure for an opening to a container, said structure comprising:a body for extending from said container around said opening and defining a discharge aperture communicating with said opening; andan actuator which defines a pivot axis and which is pivotally mounted on said body for occluding flow from said container through said discharge aperture when said actuator is in a closed, non-dispensing position and for permitting flow from said container when force is applied to said actuator to tilt said actuator to an open, dispensing position;said actuator including a first, generally rigid piece which is molded in an initial injection molding step from a material and which defines a force-receiving region on one side of said pivot axis; andsaid actuator including a second piece which is injection molded in situ in a subsequent injection molding step from a material onto said first, rigid piece force-receiving region so as to become bonded to said first, rigid piece to define a finger pad against which a finger may be pressed to tilt said actuator to said open, dispensing position.
