A toggle-action dispensing closure is provided for manipulation between a closed, non-dispensing orientation and an open, dispensing orientation that is easily assembled, resists inadvertent opening and has an improved aesthetic appearance for variously shaped closures. The closure includes an actuator rotationally mounted on a housing whereby the housing may be secured to a container. The axis of rotation of the actuator is asymmetrically disposed in the housing. The actuator has a rear flange with an articulatable hinge that is longer than its front flange. When the closure is securely mounted to a container, the portion of the rear flange below the hinge resiliently contacts the container assisting in preventing inadvertently opening the closure.

We claim: 1. A toggle-acting dispensing closure for use with a container, the closure comprising:a. a housing having a transverse floor with an upper surface and outer wall;b. an actuator having a top wall including a top rear wall overlying the transverse floor and defining a nozzle opening with a nozzle floor, the actuator being asymmetrically and pivotally mounted inside the housing for movement between a closed, non-dispensing position and an open, dispensing position;c. a rear actuator flange extending below the top rear wall at a first location within the housing;d. the rear flange having a hinge with a major axis that divides the rear flange into an upper rear flange adjacent to the top rear wall and a lower rear flange adjacent to a rear flange rim; ande. whereby the hinge major axis is oriented substantially parallel to the transverse floor.
