A coupler for use in a closed transfer system is provided. The coupler includes a body with an axial slot, an outlet, and a probe that extends from a first end portion to a second end portion and at least partially received within the body, the probe configured to be movable relative to the body between a first position and a second position to selectively control the flow of fluid through the outlet. A handle is coupled to the probe and configured to interface with the axial slot, wherein the handle is configured to move axially along the axial slot to move the probe between the first position and the second position.

A walled dispenser base for use with a dispenser for delivering a liquid from an inverted supply bottle. The dispenser has a reservoir container attached to a dispenser valve. The dispenser valve is detached from the walled dispenser base. The dispenser valve extends through a side opening of the walled dispenser base. The walled dispenser base has a top portion where the inverted supply bottle is supported. The walled dispenser base has a rim that has an open section. The side opening extends through the open section of the rim. A foot having a perimeter is formed at a bottom portion of the walled dispenser base. The dispenser valve extends though the side opening and delivers the liquid from the inverted supple bottle beyond the perimeter of the foot.

A dispenser device comprising a base configured to support a container, the container being at least partially filled with a fluid; a duct in communication with the base; a collar coupled to the duct, the collar configured to seal around a portion of the container; and a valve coupled to the duct and configured to selectively dispense fluid from the container.

A five-gallon water supply system for controlling flow of liquids under gravity from storage containers for dispensing purposes. The system may have at least one water reservoir interface, at least one expandable plumbing assembly, and at least one platform. The at least one water reservoir interface may have a first water reservoir interface, second, third, fourth, and last water reservoir interface. The expandable plumbing assembly may be hydraulically coupled to the first water reservoir interface and the last water reservoir interface. The expandable plumbing assembly may be configured to plumb potable water from to a single water outlet. The platform may include a first water bottle stand, which may be removably coupled together with a last water bottle stand. The platform further may include a second, third, and fourth water bottle stand that are removably coupled with the first water bottle stand and the last water bottle stand.

A beverage dispense apparatus and associated method, comprises a frame (11) for removably locating and holding a sealed beverage unit package (C) in a vertical orientation. A first piercing element (14) punctures a vent opening into a headspace of the beverage package (C) and, subsequently as the first piercing element is driven downward, a second piercing element (15) punctures an outlet opening into the beverage package so that beverage can flow through a nozzle (17) under gravity. An ultrasonic transducer (16) against the nozzle (17) may supply excitation energy that breaks gas out of solution so that a creamy head is formed on the beverage in a delivery vessel underneath the frame. Control of the vent opening/vale (13) enables flow to be slowed or stopped through the nozzle (17) enabling a settle time and two-part pour.

A washer fluid a vehicle comprises a motor and pump assembly and a holster assembly configured to receive a washer bottle. The holster assembly includes a cage configured to receive a washer bottle, a handle to secure the washer bottle within the holster assembly, a locking device to secure a handle of the washer bottle in place, and a bayonet to pierce a foil cap of the washer bottle when the washer bottle is received within the cage portion of the holster assembly. Once the washer bottle is secured within the holster assembly the motor and pump assembly are in fluid communication with the bottle.

A water spout sanitary cover is provided. The cover is disposable and is configured to fit over a portion of the water spout to provide a sanitary layer. The cover may prevent microbial transfer between the spout, water, and a vessel being filled with water. The cover is disposable, and replaceable, and may be provided in a stacked dispenser.

A bottle hanger is configured to extend around a bottle and suspend the bottle for manually creating a vortex liquid for dispensing from the bottle. A bottle is configured with a dispenser that is configured on the bottom of the bottle when the bottle is in a dispense orientation, or hanging from a support within the bottle hanger. A user may rotate the bottle manually to cause the liquid within the bottle to rotate within the bottle until a vortex is formed. The user may then open the dispenser valve and dispense the vortexing liquid from the bottle. A bottle cover may be configured over a portion of the bottle to block light and reduce organism growth. A bottle cover assembly may have a translucent or transparent window for viewing the liquid within the bottle.
