摘要： A liquid-dispensing tap (50) includes a tap body (54) which is mountable to a container (52) holding liquid, a seal member (56) disposed within the tap body, and an actuator (58) connected to the seal member. The actuator is pivotally disposed on the tap body so that when pivoted by a user, a seal formed between the seal member and the tap body is disengaged, allowing liquid within the container to dispense. The actuator may be pivoted in any number of predetermined directions. The tap may be manufactured and assembled to consist essentially of only the tap body, the seal member, and the actuator, thereby eliminating many other elements commonly found in conventional taps.

摘要： A tap (12) for dispensing fluid from a vessel includes a main tap body (26), an actuator (28), and a seal member (30). The main tap body includes a passage with an inlet and an outlet and a seat with a shoulder formed around the outlet. The actuator has a handle and is pivotally attached to the main tap body and dispenses fluid from the vessel upon activation of the handle by a user.

摘要： A collapsible bag (100) for dispensing liquids which includes at least one sheet (104, 108) sealed to define an enclosure and a fitment (124) (spout) attached to the enclosure and out through which liquid in the enclosure is dispensed. An interior surface of the one or more sheets has integral texture to assist in withdrawal of the liquid from the enclosure when collapsed. The texture can be provided by sheet surfaces that are mechanically or ultrasonically embossed or are bubble-cushioned (204) or which have sealed pleats (224) or accordion folds. The bottom surface (246) of a lower flange (244) of the fitment may have concentric ridges (298) (or spirals) (256) and/or radial grooves (278). Also disclosed are methods of making the bag from one, two, three or four sheets.

摘要： Une cannette de distribution de boissons assure une distribution régulière de boissons gazeuses telles que de la bière. Un corps de cannette (32) est monté sur un col (24) d'un conteneur de boissons et utilise un organe de fermeture de valve en barillet (92) qui ferme hermétiquement le conteneur pressurisé à l'aide d'un joint torique (98). Le barillet est mobile via des fentes à écartement variable (60, 62) ayant une interaction avec des pointes de came (110 et 112) et un manchon (104). Lors de l'ouverture de la cannette depuis ses positions fermées, un orifice de libération de pression (41) est d'abord exposé à une libération de gaz lente dans le conteneur sans projection forcée de son contenu. Ensuite, le barillet est amené en communication avec le bec verseur (38) pour permettre la distribution de la boisson, tandis que de l'air peut entrer dans le conteneur par un évent (36) pour permettre à la boisson d'être distribuée uniformément et en douceur en évitant un vide de blocage.

摘要： A two-part connector structure (22, 32) includes a male connector part (32) and a female connector part (22) which are mutually engageable to open fluid communication between the connector parts (22, 32). For example, the connector parts (22, 32) may be used to establish fluid communication between a container (12) and a conduit (14). The connector parts (22, 32) are disengageable from one another to discontinue fluid communication between them, and also to close communication between ambient and each of the container and the conduit. The male connector part (32) includes a mounting structure (32a) for supporting on the female connector part (22), and also includes a guide structure (44) effective to guide a male probe portion (36) of the male connector part (32) into engagement with the female connector part (22). A handnut (34) of the male connector part (32), and is effective upon manual rotation to cause axial relative movement of the male probe portion (36) into or out of engagement with the female connector part (32). This invention provides a connector structure (22, 32) with considerably lowered manual engagement and disengagement forces, along with increased convenience and ease of use.

摘要： A bag-in-box container includes a box defining a cavity receiving a bag. The bag includes walls formed of plastic sheet material forming a variable-volume chamber, and a fitting carried on one of the walls provides a passage communicating with the variable­ volume chamber. The fitting is formed of material which is essentially impermeable to oxygen. A method of sealingly attaching the fitting to a wall of the bag without the use of heat sealing or adhesives is disclosed.

摘要： A two-part coupling structure (20, 22) includes a male coupling part (22) and a female coupling part (20) which are mutually engageable to open fluid communication between a fluid-storage vessel (18) and a conduit (16). The coupling parts are disengageable from one another to discontinue fluid communication between the vessel and the conduit, and also to close communication between ambient and each of the vessel and conduit. The retention volume of fluid which is trapped between the connected male and female coupling parts and which is exposed to or lost to ambient when the coupling parts are disconnected is very small. Because of particular structural features, the coupling parts will function reliably even with fluid having chunks or particulates of non-fluid material therein.
