A dispensing closure of three separately formed interlocking components including a container mountable base with a central post mounting a spout for vertical movement thereon between a closed position with a post mounted plug sealing within a spout aperture, and a second open position with the plug remote from the aperture, movement of the spout relative to the post and plug being achieved by a sleeve rotatably mounted on the base and engaged with the spout for rotation of the spout with the sleeve and, through cooperating engagement of the spout with the post, for longitudinal adjustment of the spout relative to the post.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A container closure comprising, a base adapted to be secured to the mouth of the container for a controlled dispensing of a product from the container, the base including a body, the body having a top panel and a side wall depending peripherally from said top panel, a central post projecting axially upward from said top panel centrally thereof in radially inwardly spaced relation to said body side wall, said post having a cylindrical side wall defining a product flow passage vertically therethrough and opening through said top panel, said post passage having an open upper end vertically remote from said top panel, a sealing plug centrally positioned relative to said passage at said upper end and radially inward of the cylindrical wall of the post to allow for product movement past said plug, means for mounting said plug to said post wall with minimal restriction of the passage outward of the plug, a spout including a cylindrical side wall telescopically received over said post, said spout having a non-circular top overlying said post and said passage therethrough, said spout top extending radially outward from said spout wall at least partially thereabout, said top having a central aperture therethrough aligned with said plug for discharge of a product from said passage through said aperture, said spout being telescopically adjustable on said post between a lower closed position with said plug engaged in and sealing said aperture, and an upper open position with said plug spaced below said aperture to allow product discharge through said aperture, and means for telescopically adjusting said spout relative to said plug, said means for telescopically adjusting said spout including a manual control member outward of said spout, the control member having a lower portion proximate said base body top panel, means for retaining said lower portion on said top panel for rotation relative thereto about said spout, the control member having an upper portion defining an opening configured to conform to said non-circular top and receiving said top therein whereby rotation of said control member will effect a corresponding rotation of said top and said spout, and cooperating means on said spout and said base post for telescopically moving said spout on said post in response to rotation of said spout relative to said post.
