Closure for a liquid container

A closure for a container, comprising:

• a lid securable to a mouth of a liquid containing container, said lid including a pair of holes, each said hole when open and with said lid secured to the container allowing the passage therethrough of the liquid from the container;
• a stopper comprising first and second stopper portions connected to each other, said stopper including a hinge, and said first and second stopper portions are on opposite sides of said hinge, and said hinge being connected to each of said first and second stopper portions and not connected to said lid;
• and
• sealing means for sealing with said stopper selectively either one or simultaneously both of said holes, said sealing means removably securing said stopper to said lid.

• a stopper comprising first and second stopper portions;
• sealing means for sealing with said stopper selectively either one or simultaneously both of said holes, said sealing means removably securing said stopper to said lid;
• and
• holding means for holding said first stopper portion to said second stopper portion when said first and second stopper portions are in contact.

A closure for a container, comprising:

• a lid having a first hole and a second hole, said lid being releasably securable to a mouth of a liquid container;
• a first stopper member releasably securable to said lid at said first hole to thereby seal said first hole closed relative to the container;
• a second stopper member releasably securable to said lid at said second hole to thereby seal said second hole closed relative to the container;
• and
• a holding device which can hold said first stopper member on and to said second stopper member when said first stopper member is unsecured relative to said first hole and said second stopper member is secured over said second hole.

A closure for a container, comprising:

• a lid having first and second holes, said lid being releasably securable on a liquid container, and each said hole when open and with said lid secured to the container allowing the passage therethrough of liquid from the container;
• and
• an elongate stopper member having first and second stopper ends and a hinge therebetween, said first stopper end being releasably securable to said lid and at said first hole to thereby seal said first hole closed relative to the container, said second stopper end being releasably securable to said lid and at said second hole to thereby seal said second hole closed relative to the container, and said hinge being connected to each of said first and second stopper ends and not connected to said lid so that said stopper member is releasably securable on said liquid container by cooperation of said first stopper end with said first hole and said second stopper end with said second hole;
• said first end when unsecured from over said first hole and with said second end secured over said second hole is pivotal about said hinge towards said second end and out of the way of said first hole.

A closure for a container, comprising:

• a lid having first and second holes, said lid being releasably securable on a liquid container;
• an elongate stopper member having first and second stopper ends and a hinge therebetween, said first stopper end being releasably securable to said lid and at said first hole to thereby seal said first hole closed relative to the container, said second stopper end being releasably securable to said lid and at said second hole to thereby seal said second hole closed relative to the container;
• said first end when unsecured from over said first hole and with said second end secured over said second hole is pivotal about said hinge towards said second end and out of the way of said first hole;
• and
• securing means for securing said first stopper end, when pivoted about said hinge and away from said first hole, on and to said second stopper end.

A stopper for a lid disposable on a container, the lid including a first hole and a second hole formed therethrough, said stopper comprising:

• a first stopper portion;
• a second stopper portion;
• a hinge between said first and second stopper portions, each said stopper portion being removably engageable with a different one of the holes to thereby seal the hole, at least one of said first and second stopper portions being rotatable about said hinge so as to be able to come into contact with the other;
• a protrusion formed on said first stopper portion;
• and
• an indent formed in said second stopper portion;
• wherein said protrusion is removably securable within said indent to hold said first and second stopper portions to each other.

A method of sealing and unsealing a lid for a container, the lid including two holes disposed therethrough, said method comprising:

• disposing a continuous stopper comprising first and second stopper portions on the lid so as to seal each of the holes and simultaneously secure the stopper to the lid at each hole;
• selectively unsealing one of the holes by unsecuring and removing the first stopper portion from a selected hole, the second stopper portion remaining secured to the lid at the non-selected hole so that the non-selected hole remains sealed;
• and
• flipping the first stopper portion which was removed from the selected hole over into contact with the second stopper portion, and thereafter, snap fit securing the portions to each other.
