Abstract
A closure for the dispensing contents within a dispenser, generally comprises a post projecting upwardly from a base and a closure cap. The post has an upper solid portion, including a notch to facilitate multiple dispensing rates of the closure, connecting segments between the upper and lower portions and a cam follower. In a first dispensing position, the contents are dispensed only out of the notch. A closure cap is rotatably mounted for movement along at least a portion of the post. The post extends beyond the top of the cap in the closed position. The cap has a cam for movement of the cap with respect to said cam follower to facilitate rotation of the cap along the post. In a second dispensing position of the closure, the contents are dispensed through an upper orifice of the cover cap.
