A beverage container closure or lid that is adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is selectively couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be selectively opened by a user by the user pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the user releases the button. Thus, a user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container.

A method for the distribution and dispensing of beverages utilizes a one-way system including a disposable and freestanding container. The container is blow-molded in one piece from a preform of plastics. The system also includes a tube to be inserted in the container and a closure cap. The container can be filled, distributed to an end user and connected to standard beverage dispensing structure. After use, the empty container is collapsed and discarded.

A modular bottle (e.g., for holding liquid or dry storage contents) and its various assemblies, components, and structures are provided. The bottle can include a body portion including an open longitudinal end and an interior region, an end cap configured to be secured over the open longitudinal end to enclose the interior region, and a flexible loop. The end cap can include a pair of knobs disposed on a circumferential side surface of the end cap. Each end of the flexible loop can define an aperture that is smaller than a largest diameter of each of the pair of knobs such that each end of the flexible loop is selectively couplable with each of the pair of knobs.

The present invention discloses a one-button-opened cup cap and cup. The cup comprises a cup body and a cup cap partially inserted into the cup body. The cup cap comprises a pressing assembly, a water shutoff assembly and an exhaust assembly. The water shutoff assembly comprises a main cap, a sealing cap and a linkage component. The pressing assembly is connected with the main cap. The linkage component is provided with an air outlet hole plugged by the exhaust assembly. The pressing assembly is longitudinally pressed under the action of external force to act on the exhaust assembly and unblock the air outlet hole. The main cap restricts the pressing assembly from positioned at two longitudinal positions different in height. The present invention has the advantages of need of only pressing the pressing component when disconnecting the cup cap from the cup body, and simple and quick disconnection operation.

The spout can be used on a rigid or a nonrigid container. It includes a first member slidingly movable with reference to a second member so as to open and close a valve located at a front end of the spout. In use, the liquid flow can automatically be decreased and even stopped when the receptacle is full. The spout can include an annular outer gasket to create an airtight connection between the spout and the opening of the receptacle during pouring. This allows nonrigid containers to be emptied without collapsing. It also allows any airborne droplets and vapors present in the opening of the receptacle to be drawn into the container with the incoming air during pouring, thereby preventing or minimizing the presence of such droplets and vapors in the surrounding environment.

A tap dispenser assembly for use with a fluid container including a tap body, a spring button, and a valve. The tap body includes an attachment portion, a dispensing portion, and a fluid channel with an upper wall and a lower wall. The dispensing portion includes a valve stem guide and a guide support. The guide support is above the lower wall and/or the upper wall. The valve is connected to the spring button and is slidingly inserted into the valve stem guide. The tap dispenser assembly has a closed position where the spring button is not depressed and the valve seals the dispensing portion and an open position where the spring button is depressed and the seal between the valve and dispensing portion is broken, allowing fluid to flow from the tap dispenser assembly.

Disclosed is a water dispenser including a container with an out-let channel at the bottom thereof and a manually operated valve arrangement with a valve member resiliently pre-stressed towards a closing state.

A lid assembly includes an internal component assembly having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a button disposed at the first end. An external component receives the internal component assembly. The external component is configured for engaging a container. The internal component assembly cooperates with the external component to translate axially upon a first pressure to the button to permit a fluid to enter the external component adjacent the second end of the internal component assembly and to militate against the fluid to enter the external component adjacent the second end of the internal component upon a second pressure to the button.

A spouted pouch (1) has a spout (10) with a neck (14) extending upward from an attachment portion (12). A cap unit (30) has a cap body (35) and an integrated ring member (50), made as one piece of plastic. A ring member is integrally formed to the lower edge of the skirt of the cap body and comprises an annular base portion (51) connected via breakable bridges (53) to the skirt. The base portion and the spout body (11) have cooperating permanent snap-fit joint portions (56, 21, 23) that keep the ring member fixed to the spout upon removal of the cap body. The pouch further comprises a flow control device (80) made distinct from the spout and from the cap unit. The flow control device is mounted to the neck (14) and has an external part (82) located outside of the exterior surface of the neck. The cap body is arranged over the neck and the flow control device. The ring member and the external part of the flow control device have cooperating retention portions (55, 83).

Stopper assembly for a serving device configured to be positioned in a neck of a container, such as a bottle, wherein the stopper assembly comprises a body element arranged to fit in the serving device; a valve element mountable on the body element, wherein the body element extends substantially in a direction transverse to the valve element; and a handling element that is connectable to the valve element and extending in a direction substantially transverse to the valve element at an opposite side of the body element, such that the valve element is arranged in between the handling element and the body element.
