A gravity based dispenser for use with a bottle of liquid. The dispenser hangs about the neck of a user and allows the user to selectively dispense water from the water bottle while the user maintains a valve of the dispenser in an open position. In a closed position, the valve of the dispenser prevents the flow of liquid from the bottle to which the dispenser is attached. The valve is biased to the closed position. In this way, a user may use water to wash their hands using a single water bottle without using unnecessary quantities of water.

A package including a fitment for dispensing a liquid from a flexible bag is disclosed. The fitment is secured to the bag and includes a compressible bulb and a piercing member that are coupled together. In two embodiments the fitment is configured so that the piercing member pierces through a wall of the bag to dispense the bag's contents through an outlet port of the fitment. One of those embodiments includes a separate valve to open and close the outlet port. Another embodiment does not include a separate valve to open and close the outlet port. A third embodiment makes use of a fitment connected to a filling gland of the bag and which is in communication with the interior of the bag. That third embodiment includes a frangible seal forming part of the fitment and which is pierced by the piercing member to dispense the liquid from the bag.

A refill adapter cap (100) is provided for a refill receptacle adapted to refill the liquid reservoir of an electronic smoking device via the refill adapter cap, wherein the refill adapter cap comprises a first end (101) with an opening (110) and a connection portion (120), adapted for the connection to a refill receptacle. Furthermore, the refill adapter cap comprises a second end (102) with an injection portion (130) that protrudes from the second end and defines a liquid outlet hole (131). Moreover, the refill adapter cap comprises a liquid flow channel (140) interconnecting the first end and the second end, allowing for liquid to flow through the refill adapter cap. The liquid flow channel comprises a slope section (160) adapted to reduce the flow rate of liquid passing the liquid flow channel.

An apparatus comprises a body shell including a proximate end, a distal end, and a cylindrical passage. The apparatus also includes a piercing tube, which is slidably positioned within the cylindrical passage of the body shell. The piercing tube includes a proximate end including a piercing element with a central opening. The piercing tube also includes a distal end including a drinking spout. The piercing tube also includes a drink passage between the central opening of the piercing element and the drinking spout.

A clamp of the dispensing device may include a container engagement surface arranged to engage and/or disengage the clamp from the container neck when the clamp is pushed downwardly or pulled upwardly relative to the container neck. The container engagement surface may include a surface with a lower portion that slopes upwardly and inwardly, and an upper portion that slopes upwardly and outwardly relative to the container neck and that moves the clamp radially outwardly and away from the container neck as the clamp is moved vertically relative to the container neck. A latch may maintain a body portion of the dispensing device in an upper position, preventing needle insertion, until a container is suitably engaged with the base portion of the device, e.g., by a clamp. Sensors may detect engagement of a container with the device and/or insertion of a needle into the container.

A needle for accessing a container having a closure, such as a cork of a wine bottle. The needle includes first and second lumens each having a D-shaped cross section and a flat surface. The first and second lumens are attached with the flat surfaces in contact, and each lumen may have an outlet opening at a distal end. The needle may be used with a beverage dispenser that operates by introducing gas into a container via one lumen, and receives beverage from the container via another one of the lumens.

A multifunction recreational apparatus comprising a cap portion, an upper body portion, and a lower body portion. The cap portion is selectively coupled to an upper perimeter of the upper body portion to conceal a bowl portion of a tobacco pipe. Upper body portion comprises a conical grip portion and a tubular member extending from a lower circumference of the conical grip portion. Upper body portion further comprises a channel extending from the bowl portion of upper body portion to a distal end of the tubular member to define an airflow pathway. Lower body portion is conical in shape and increases in diameter from an upper circumference to a lower circumference. A bottom surface of the lower body portion is configured to define a channel, the channel being configured to define a bottle opener.

A spike for dispensing fluids from a flexible bag, wherein the spike includes multiple fluid channels which transfer liquids from the bag to an enclosed dispensing chamber and air from the enclosed chamber to the bag to permit and control fluid flow within the system.

A package including a fitment for dispensing a liquid from a flexible bag is disclosed. The fitment is secured to the bag and includes a compressible bulb and a piercing member that are coupled together. The fitment is configured such that when the bulb is first actuated, e.g., pressed, it causes the piercing member to pierce through the wall of the bag so that the contents of the bag can be dispensed through an outlet port of the fitment. In one embodiment of the fitment a portion of the piercing member is permanently located within the bag after first use and a valve is provided to open and close the outlet port thereafter. In another and more preferred embodiment the piercing member is extended into and out of the bag to dispense the contents of the bag through the outlet port, without necessitating use of a separate valve to open and close that port.
