Abstract: A system, apparatus, container and method of dispensing a liquid from a disposable container is disclosed. The apparatus includes a cylindrical shroud which receives a filled disposable container; the latter having one or more circumferential rings around its body of a different diameter from that of the container and a mouth. The shroud has a cap assembly which is telescopically received by a lower portion of the shroud with the shroud cap assembly having a stopper for sealingly mating with the container mouth. The shroud with the container therein and with the telescoping shroud cap assembly in place is fitted within a frame which positively prevents axial movement of the telescoping cap assembly relative to the other portion of the shroud beyond a predetermined limit. A range in container lengths may be accommodated and the circumferential rings permit longer containers to be axially compressed as the shroud is inserted in the frame. With the shroud in the frame, the container is internally pressurized via the stopper so that the circumferential rings permit the container to move substantially freely in axial direction so as to insure that the axial force is applied to the ends of the container thereby to insure a good seal is made between the container mouth and the stopper.

Abstract: A system, appartatus, and method of dispensing a liquid (e.g., a beverage, a soft drink concentrate, or other flowable liquid-like material) from a semi-bulk container. The system comprises a liquid impervious container having at least one opening therein. The container is installable within a pressure containment vessel of open construction and a fitting is sealingly secured within the opening. This fitting has a port adapted to be connected to a source of pressurized gas so as to admit gas under pressure into the container and to pressurize the liquid within the container. The fitting further has a dip tube which extends down into the liquid so that liquid may be dispensed from the container via the dip tube under pressure. The pressure containment vessel withstands the internal pressurization forces within the container thus permitting the use of an inexpensive, disposable container.

Abstract: A closure for a disposable container is disclosed from which a liquid may be pressure dispensed. The container has a mouth and the closure comprises a closure body cooperable with the container mouth for closing the container mouth. The closure body is sealably secured with respect to the container mouth and a nipple is provided on the inner face of the closure body for operatively securing a dip tube thereto, with the dip tube extending into the liquid within the container. The nipple is centrally located with respect to the mouth. A first puncturable area is provided is provided on the closure body, blocking the outflow of liquid from the container via the dip tube, and a second puncturable area, located radially outwardly of the nipple is provided such that with a first puncturing tube puncturing the first puncturable area, and with a second puncturing tube puncturing the second puncturable area and being in communication with a source of compressed gas, the liquid within the container may be dispensed via the first puncturing tube.
