The dosage cup has at least four axial shoulders on an inside surface thereof that each has an engaging surface adapted to engage axial ridges of the cap. The dosage cup is coupled to the cap such that a force that is greater, by a predetermined amount, than the weight of the dosage cup is required to remove the dosage cup from the cap, and providing the dosage cup with an indicator adapted to indicate one of the single dosages of the liquid nutritional supplement to be consumed by a user for a predetermined time period.

A container-and-closure sealing system embodied in a container and closure package, and method of making the same. The container has an open mouth surrounded by a cylindrical neck wall having internal threads and an open upper edge. The closure is a cap/dispensing cup type and has a skirt with external threads for threaded receipt within the container neck wall. A circumferentially continuous flange projects outwardly from the skirt and has a conical portion for cam engaging, trapping and sealing with the open upper edge of the neck wall as the closure is threaded into this wall. The closure skirt also has a circumferentially continuous plug-type sealing surface that extends radially outwardly from the skirt between the trapping flange and closure external threads for interference sealing engagement with the neck wall, as the closure is threaded thereinto. The materials of the closure and container may differ in hardness relative to another so that either the plug seal rib of the juxtaposed neck wall surface deforms under closure/container engaging forces to thereby enhance the sealing capability and life. The flange has a conical skirt wall portion integrally dependent from a flange radial wall portion that sealing cam wedge embraces the neck open upper edge and creates increasing squeeze force as the closure is threaded into the neck wall. A concentrically intermediate annular seal is also provided in the form of V-rib or liner material interposed in assembly between the container upper edge and the flange radial wall portion. The container neck wall may have a circumferentially continuous internal groove disposed between the neck internal threads and open upper edge for receiving the closure plug seal rub by interference snap fit when said closure is threaded into the wall and reaches closed position thereon to thereby enhance removal torque capability.

A lid including a positionable stopper nested inside an upper body that is nested inside a lower body. A user applies a rotational force to the upper body, which rotates about an axis of rotation relative to the lower body to translate the rotational movement of the upper body into linear movement of the stopper along the axis of rotation. The stopper is configured to move axially along the axis of rotation relative to the upper body toward and away from the vessel based upon the direction in which the upper body is rotated. When the stopper is farthest from the vessel along the axis of rotation, the stopper abuts the upper body and seals the liquid inside the vessel. When the stopper is sufficiently near the vessel, an opening is defined between the stopper and the upper body through which the contents of the vessel may exit.
