Abstract
A container and cap assembly includes a double barrel dispensing container having two side-by-side outlets, and a cap with two side-by-side closure portions for simultaneously closing both outlets when the cap is connected to the container. The cap includes two protruding orienting sections for orienting the cap relative to the container as the cap is connected to the container. The orienting sections insure that each closure portion comes into contact with the same outlet each time the cap is coupled to the container so that small quantities, if any, of materials flowing through one outlet and deposited on one closure portion of the cap cannot cross-contaminate materials in the remaining barrel after the cap is removed and then re-connected to the container after a dispensing operation.
