The beverage drinking apparatus may include a spout, a pivot arm, and an entry portion. The spout may include a bore. The pivot arm may include a curved portion that defines a fulcrum for rotating the beverage drinking apparatus. The entry portion may include a flow portion defining a plurality of apertures. The entry portion may include a piercing portion that is distal from the first end of the spout. The piercing portion and the flow portion may be configured to pierce and penetrate a hole in a sidewall of the beverage can as the beverage drinking apparatus is pivoted about the fulcrum with the curved portion engaged with a bottom surface of the beverage can such that liquid flows from the beverage can into the bore through the plurality of first apertures.

An apparatus (10) and method for dispensing beverage from a single serve beverage package (b), e.g. an aluminium can B. In operation the sealed package (B) is located and held in a receiving enclosure (11) where, firstly, a dispense end of the package is opened by a piercing element (24) and, secondly, a gas is introduced under pressure at a second end through a hollow needle (19). Gas from a pump, into the internal volume of package (B), is then used to drive beverage from the beverage package, e.g. through a restrictor structure (27), at the dispense end and into a drinking vessel (G). The pump mode may then apply negative pressure to prevent flow and enable a pause in flow or at completion of delivery to a vessel (G).

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a container additive system that can be used to mix an additive separately contained inside a receptacle with the contents of a container. The system can enable separate transport of additives for the contents of the container in a sterile and convenient manner that enables mixing according to a user's preferences before the opening of the container and dispensing. According to some aspects, the system can include a breacher configured to connect the insides of the container and receptacle. The receptacle may be rigid, flexible bag type container or a hybrid thereof, depending on the application and side of the additive. In some embodiments, the system or parts thereof may serve as a cap or lid to the container. The container is also not limited to rigid or semi rigid surfaces but can also include flexible bag type or hybrids of flexible and rigid surfaces.

A tool for opening and dispensing soft package contents which has two arms, a hinge connecting the arms, and a hollow prick. A soft package is placed between the two arms so the soft package contents can be opened and dispensed in an easy and sanitary manner through the hollow prick, after which the arms can be opened, and the soft package easily disposed.

A machine intended for cooling and draining contents of a metal beverage can comprising a refrigerated housing intended to receive a can; a tube projecting into the refrigerated housing and defining a bore. The machine further includes a removable subassembly including a stirrer mounted to slide with respect to the tube to pass through the bore between an upper position in which the stirrer projects above the upper edge of the tube and a position in which the stirrer is set back with respect to the upper edge of the tube; a duct having an outlet orifice and an inlet orifice communicating with the bore; a plug blocking or opening selectively the outlet orifice of the duct.

A cartridge and a base unit for use in an oral care appliance are disclosed. The cartridge includes a connection interface configured to form a detachable connection. The base unit is also configured to engage operatively with the cartridge to facilitate flow of an oral care composition from the cartridge into the oral care appliance.

A Rapid Beverage Consumption Device operating to provide consistent dual puncturing of a beverage container, without direct exposure of a user to sharp piercing elements, ventilated flow of the beverage contents via a predetermined path, and leak resistance for quick consumption of the beverage and avoidance of spillage, thereby reducing waste, reducing the likelihood of the user getting wet and for providing entertainment to the user.

An adapter (9) for connecting a removable liquid container (10) to a liquid dispenser (1), said adapter having at a first end thereof a liquid container connector and at a second end thereof a dispenser connector, said liquid container connector having a probe part (12) adapted to pierce an outlet comprising a self-sealing valve or membrane of said removable liquid container (10), said probe part (12) being hollow and having at least one inlet for liquid from said removable liquid container, said dispenser connector being hollow and having at its end remote from said probe part an outlet for liquid from said removable liquid container, wherein the outlet of the dispenser connector is adapted to fit tightly around an existing feed tube of the liquid dispenser (1). The adapter (9) can be part of an adapter assembly, which can optionally comprise a liquid transfer regulating means (11) adapted to cooperate with and regulate liquid transfer through said adapter (9).
