This invention relatesto a closing device for cartons, milk bottles and the like, the general object of the invention being to provide a flat part on the closure, with means for automatically holding it in closed position so that the contents of the container will be protected from dirt, insects and the like when the device is used on a milk bottle, for instance, and when used on a carton for cigarettes, for instance, the cigarettes will be protectedfrom the drying effect of the atmosphere, and in this case the devicealso acts to hold the carton in its original shape.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts,
' tobe hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.
In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or I corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which r showing the invention thereon.
Figure 2 is a similar view, but showing the flap in open position.
