A dispensing nozzle for a container with a long tapered nozzle body has a narrow tapered dispensing end and a wider base end. A passage for fluid runs from the base end to the dispensing end and through an outlet. The dispensing nozzle has a removable cap that fits over the dispensing nozzle when in the closed position which closes the dispensing nozzle's outlet with a penetrating plug located on the interior of the cap. The cap has a narrow closed end that has the penetrating plug on its interior side and the cap has a wider open end. The cap fits onto the nozzle in a tight fit when closed. The invention contemplates that the fluid in the container is strong glue, so that hardened glue makes removing the cap difficult. To solve this problem, the nozzle and the cap have two distinct sets of ramps that provide the initial separating force to twist the cap with respect to the nozzle in order to remove the cap easily and allow dispensation.

The invention claimed is: 1. A dispensing nozzle comprising:(i) an elongate nozzle body having a longitudinal axis and a base portion and a dispensing end;(ii) an internal conduit in the nozzle body for delivering product from the base portion to the dispensing end;(iii) engaging formations on the nozzle for inter-engaging with co-operating engaging formations on a cap, to hold said cap in a position over-fitting the nozzle;(iv) a first set of external ramps, the ramps of the first set being spaced apart on the nozzle transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle body; and(v) a second set of external ramps provided longitudinally spaced apart from the first set of external ramps on the nozzle body, the ramps of the second set being transversely spaced apart on the nozzle relative to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle body, and against each of which sets of ramps respective co-operating portions on the cap may act by rotation of the cap with respect to the nozzle in at least one direction, to provide relative force between the cap and the nozzle body, to separate the engaging formations on the cap and the nozzle from an inter-engaged position, wherein the first set of external ramps and the second set of external ramps each comprise a ramping surface oblique to the direction of rotation of the cap.
