Abstract
A dispensing structure is provided for a container which has first and second storage compartments and first and second discharge openings each separately communicating with one of the first and second storage compartments, respectively. The dispensing structure includes a body for extending from the container. The body has a peripheral wall that defines first and second discharge conduits for communicating with the first and second discharge openings, respectively. The dispensing structure also includes first and second dispensing conduits mounted in the body peripheral wall for tilting movement between (1) a dispensing position in which the first and second dispensing conduits are in fluid communication with the first and second discharge conduits, respectively, and (2) a non-dispensing position. The first and second conduits include, respectively, first and second sealing plugs therein for occluding flow from the first and second discharge conduits, respectively, when the first and second dispensing conduits are in the closed position and for permitting flow from the first and second discharge conduits when the first and second dispensing conduits are in the open position.
