A front pull piercing valve assembly attached to a flexible container, whereby; when the wall of the flexible container is pulled into contact with a piercing element in the assembly, the contents of the container are dispensed by piercing the wall of the container and liquid flows through the valve assembly and directly into a container or through flexible hose or another connection to be dispensed. The valve assembly is configured in such a manner that during use it is filed with the liquid being dispensed thereby preventing the liquid in the flexible container from being exposed to air, namely, oxygen that often causes spoilage of certain liquids, such as wine.

A temperature control valve includes a main body, a metal valve assembly and a thermoelectric chip unit. The main body has a first inlet and a first outlet. The metal valve assembly is movably disposed in the main body and includes inlet and outlet ends, the metal valve assembly has a closed end engaged with the main body and an operating end operable from outside of the main body to operate the metal valve assembly, and the operating end is operated to control the first inlet, the first outlet, the inlet end and the outlet end to communicate or non-communicate with one another. The thermoelectric chip unit has a first end abutting against the closed end and a second end and is disposed on the main body, one of the first and second ends is a cold end, and the other is a hot end.

A dispensing tap for container fluids includes a support body; an elastic actuating button designed to allow and stop a fluid delivery, the elastic button being operatively connected to the support body; and a first stem or a second stem designed to allow and interrupt the delivery of fluid, the first stem or the second stem being contained in the support body and being operatively connected and activated by the elastic button, the first stem or the second stem having one of its ends in operative coupling with a fluid outlet end of the support body, the first stem or the second stem being equipped with closing lips at the fluid outlet end of the support body.

A tamper-preventing liquid-dispensing tap (1, 1B) with automatic opening includes a first body (4, 4B) having a removal-preventing and tamper-preventing element with sharped edge (4.5, 4B.5); an internal valve or membrane with elastic dome (5) contained in the first body (4); a second driving element (3) contained in and operatively coupled with the valve or membrane (5); and a cap (2, 2B) having integrated sealing elements (2.1, 2.2, 2.6, 2.8; 2B.1, 2B.2, 2B.6, 2B.8) which remain fastened to the cap (2, 2B), which is stably constrained with the first body (4, 4B) forming a single component which cannot be divided, the cap (2, 2B) further operatively coupled with the second driving element (3); wherein the second driving element (3) is designed to be driven by the cap (2) to allow opening and simultaneously breaking the seal elements (2.1, 2.2, 2.6, 2.8; 2B.1, 2B.2, 2B.6, 2B.8) of the tap (1, 1B).

This invention relates to a fitment assembly used for dispensing liquids from flexible bags. The connector engages a valved fitment for a container for holding and dispensing fluid. The fitment includes a spout connected to the container and a sliding internal valve body and an external valve body securely positioned within the spout. The connector has a fitment end mateable with the fitment so as to compress the top edge of the external valve body so as to form a seal between the external valve body and the dispensing connector. The external valve body through circumferentially placed apertures allows for substantially complete drainage of the flexible bag.

A dispensing system including a tap dispenser having a shut off valve incorporating at least one projection thereon, wherein the at least one projection disrupts the flow of fluid across an interior surface of the shut off valve, thereby reducing the likelihood of bubble formation at the shut off valve following the closing of the shut off valve and cessation of fluid flow therethrough.

The present invention concerns a dispensing device (20; 120; 220; 320; 420; 520) for a container (12). The device (20; 120; 220; 320; 420; 520) comprises an outlet mouth (22) for the product to be dispensed and comprises a first hollow body (24) suited to define a first passage channel (26) for the product and a second body (32; 232; 532) that is movable with respect to the first body (24) and can be positioned in a first position suitable for closing the device (20; 120; 220; 320; 420; 520) and in at least one second position suitable for dispensing the product from the outlet mouth (22). The outlet mouth (22) is defined in the second body (32; 232; 532) and the outlet mouth (22) communicates with a second passage channel (34) for the product defined in the second body (32; 232; 532). The second body (32; 232; 532) comprises a plugging portion (36; 536) suited to close the first passage channel (26) of the first body (24) when the second body (32; 232; 532) is in the first closing position and suited to open the first passage channel (26) when the second body (32; 232; 532) is in the second position.

The present invention provides a slider valve assembly for connection to a spout of an aseptically-packaged flexible container for filling and dispensing flowable material. The slider valve assembly comprises a cap member, a valve member, and an outlet member. The cap member has a central opening and is adapted to be secured to the spout of the container. The valve member defines one or more side openings in communication with a central bore, is slidable within the central opening of the cap member and is lockable into a closed or open position. The outlet member is detachably engaged to the valve member and is used for actuating the valve member. The outlet member also defines a hollow interior portion which is in communication with the central bore of the valve member.

A fluid dispenser has a main body, a valve member, and a dome member. The dome member is attached to the valve member such that the valve member is slidable within the main body. Pressing on the dome member opens the valve so that fluid can flow out of a dispensing port in the main body. The main body has an outer flow surface and an inner flow surface. The valve has a face. In conjunction, the outer flow surface, inner flow surface, and face define a fluid passageway for fluid to flow exteriorly to the inner flow surface, interiorly to the outer flow surface, and exit the fluid dispenser via the dispensing port.
