A discharge tap (10) for liquid containers, in particular for connecting to the outlet neck or the outlet opening of a transportation and storage container for liquids, having a tap housing (11) in which a valve body being pivotable around a valve axle by means of a handle (12) for opening and closing a flow cross section of an outlet tube (13) is arranged, said handle being provided with a handle stop and a housing dome of the tap housing being provided with a housing stop, said handle stop and said housing stop being able to be locked relatively to each other via a securing device (16) for securing the locking position, the securing device (16) comprising a stop bolt (17) being able to be displaceable between a bolting position and an unbolting position in a translatory manner in direction of the valve axle.

A positioning apparatus for restraining an object includes a base plate, an attachment plate, and a securing element. The base plate may include guides into which protrusions of the attachment plate slide to alter the positioning apparatus from an open position to a closed position. The base plate also includes receivers to receive tubular members, which have their movement restrained by the receivers and the securing elements in the closed position. The positioning apparatus may also include a latch to help maintain the closed position during operation.

A fluid storage and dispensing system that safely and efficiently stores all grades of motor oil is provided. The system is configured to accurately dispense motor oil into vehicles. The system may also be used for the storage of and dispensing of other fluids.

A bag-in-box shipping container including an outer rigid container and an inner flexible container including a dispensing device. Sides of the rigid container are defined by an outer front panel, a first side panel, a back panel, a second side panel, and an inner front panel connected in series at respective first, second, third, and fourth fold lines. A plurality of top flaps are foldably joined to upper edges of the panels to define a top side of the rigid container. A plurality of bottom flaps are foldably joined to lower edges of the panels to define a bottom side of the rigid container. Outer and inner portal covers are formed in the respective outer and inner front panels, and a tear tab is defined by perforated lines adjacent the upper edge of the outer front panel, longitudinally aligned with the outer portal cover.

Container of a bag-in-container type, wherein a neck region of the container is provided with at least one opening extending substantially radially there through, into a space between the outer container and an inner container adjacent thereto, wherein the neck region is provided with coupling elements, preferably at opposite sides of the at least one opening, seen in circumferential direction, for coupling of a connecting device to the container for introducing a pressure fluid through the at least one opening into a space between the inner and outer container.

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 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.

The subject matter discloses a capping apparatus comprising: a top plate connected to a fluid container, said top plate comprises an apparatus opening through which fluid is dispersed from the fluid container; wherein the apparatus opening is defined by an opening wall; a rigid cork that is slide-ably moveable between a first state in which a cork is snapped into the apparatus opening and a second state where the cork is snapped out of the apparatus opening, wherein the cork moves between the first state and the second state in a horizontal direction.

An apparatus includes a box including one or more side walls, each of which defines an inside surface. A bag is disposed in an internal region defined by the box. Drinking water is contained in the bag, the water being non-alcoholic. The bag is adapted to protect the water from contaminants, tastes, and odors, each of which originates from either the bag itself or a source external to the bag. A water-resistant coating may be applied to the respective inside surfaces. When condensate forms on the bag, the water-resistant coating at least resists absorption of the condensate into the one or more side walls. The apparatus may include a spout, which permits the water to be dispensed from the bag for human consumption. In an exemplary embodiment, the water is treated with a sanitizing additive such as, for example, ozone. The apparatus mitigates the environmental impacts of drinking water packaging.

A dispensing assembly for a liquid container including a ring part configured to be mounted to a liquid container, a resilient member positioned in the ring part to be in contact with the liquid contents of the liquid container, a ring member mountable to the ring part to secure the resilient member to the ring part, and a hollow connecting member with an outlet. The connecting member is releasably securable to the ring member and includes a hollow projecting member which, when the connecting member is secured to the ring member, engages the resilient member so as to urge an opening in the resilient member to permit liquid in the container to pass into the connecting member and subsequently out through the outlet.
