Zusammenfassung:	A dispensing structure (20) is provided for an opening (31) to a container (22). The dispensing structure (20) includes a body (44) for extending from the container (22) around the opening. The dispensing structure (20) defines a discharge aperture (81) communicating with the container opening. An actuator (46), which defines a pivot axis, is pivotally mounted on the body (44) for occluding flow from the container (22) through the discharge aperture (81) when the actuator (46) is in a closed position and permitting flow from the container (22) when force is applied to the actuator (46) to tilt the actuator (46) to an open position. The actuator (46) includes a first, generally rigid piece which is molded from a material and which defines a force-receiving region on one side of the pivot axis. The actuator (46) includes a second piece which is molded from a material onto the first, rigid, force-receiving region and is bonded to the first, rigid piece to define a finger pad (90) against which a finger may be pressed to tilt the actuator (46) to the open position.
