Abstract
A dual orifice dispensing closure comprises a body with first and second orifices therein, the orifices being of different sizes. Lid members are hinged to the body such that plugs on the lids may be selectively positioned in or removed from orifices in the closure. A hook-shaped tab provides an interengagement between the lid members so that raising the lid member to uncover the larger of the plugged orifices will at the same time lift the other lid member which has a plug closing the smaller orifice. Accordingly, both orifices are open so that the smaller orifice can providing a venting function upon dispensing of liquid from the larger orifice.
