ABSTRACT:
A lid for use on dispensing containers which shows evidence of tampering either by opening of covers on the lid or by complete removal of the lid from the container, the lid having recesses in the top portion thereof wherein dispensing apertures are formed and covers for the recesses, one cover having a flap thereon which is frangibly connected to the cover along the sides of the flap and hinged to the cover at the rear portion of the flap with access to the flap only through an opening in the front wall formed by the recess. The other cover is hinged at the rear portion and has a groove therein transverse the same adjacent the front portion, with access to that cover only through an opening in the front wall formed by a second recess. The lid also has weakened sections along an outer skirt formed by vertical grooves, such that the lid can be removed only by fracturing one of the weakened sections and the one cover lifted only after breaking of the frangible side connections of the flap grasping the flap to raise engagement means on the cover from engagement with the walls of the aperture formed in the recess, and the other cover can be lifted only by flexing the front end of the cover along the transverse groove.
