Abstract

A multiple orifice closure for attachment to a container for dispensing product, usually in the form of a liquid, at different rates. The closure includes a cap incorporating the larger orifice and an annular skirt having a container attachment such as threads or a snap bead. Two lids are hinged to the closure; one is an intermediate lid which covers the cap top and contains the second smaller orifice. The other lid is a top lid which acts to close the smaller orifice on the intermediate lid.
