Abstract

A measuring cup closure for a container opening having a screwthread formed on its outside surface. The closure has a spout part which is placeable in the container opening, a pouring spout, and an outer ring formed integrally around the base of the spout part. The outer ring is adapted for surrounding the rim of the container opening from the inside to the outside of the container. The closure includes a measuring cup which is adapted to be screwed onto the container opening over the spout part wherein the aforementioned outer ring of the spout part has a screwthread for screwing the measuring cup thereto. The measuring cup is integrally formed with an encircling ring having an internal screwthread corresponding to the screwthread of the outer ring of the spout part and the screwthread of the container opening.
