The spout includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes an elongated and generally tubular first main body having at least two longitudinally extending internal passageways, one being an air duct and the other being a liquid duct. The air duct ends with at least one constricted opening through which the air circuit exits the air duct. A valve is provided at the rear end of the first main body and is made integral therewith. The valve engages a valve seat provided at the rear end of an inner conduit positioned inside the second member and in which a rear section of the first main body is slidingly movable. The spout may be provided with a child-resistant closure (CRC) device.

A fluid device generally comprises a staging reservoir which may receive a volume of fluid flowing from a primary reservoir via a coupler upon operation of an actuator, wherein the staging reservoir is usable to measure fluid within the device in order to dispense a desired amount of fluid.

A valve for dispensing a liquid includes a housing, an internal liquid passage extending through the housing, a valve seat, a valve member movable between a closed position engaging the valve seat and an open position disengaging the valve seat, and a control member controlling movement of the valve member, which is movable between a first position in which it engages the valve member in its closed position, a second position in which the valve member is in its open position but still engaging the control member and a third position in which the valve member is in its open position and out of engagement with the control member. At least one air passage connects the outside of the valve with the internal liquid passage. The at least one air passage is closed in the first and second positions of the control member and is opened in the third position.

A pouring spout for dispensing a liquid present in a liquid container is provided. The pouring spout includes a first tubular body for connecting to the liquid container and a second tubular body which together with the first tubular body forms a passage for dispensing the liquid. The first and second tubular bodies are telescopically movable here relative to each other for leaving clear a radial opening through which the liquid can leave the pouring spout. The pouring spout further includes a venting channel for drawing in air. The invention is characterized in that the venting channel is fixedly connected to the second tubular body.

A tap (1) is disclosed for delivering liquids, particularly for delivering high- and medium-density liquids from rigid vessels, comprising: a body (3); stem means (9); and elastic actuating means (11) of the stem means (9); air inlet/outlet means (13, 25, 28) in the body (3) and inside the vessel; valve means (7) for passing air; non-return valve means (26) placed between the air inlet and outlet means (13, 25, 28) and the vessel interior and adapted to be guided and driven by the pressure difference between outside the tap (1) and inside the vessel; anti-counterfeiting and protecting means (A); supporting means (E); and an integrated glass (D).

A fluid device generally comprises a staging reservoir which may receive a volume of fluid flowing from a primary reservoir via a coupler upon operation of an actuator, wherein the staging reservoir is usable to measure fluid within the device in order to dispense a desired amount of fluid.

A tap assembly 10 with a hollow tap body 16 which defines a dispensing chamber 24 leading to an outlet arrangement 26. A valve assembly with a valve element 18 is provided to selectively open an inlet into the dispensing chamber 24. A push button 20 is provided which operates the valve assembly, and which defines an operating chamber 28, with the push button movable into the operating chamber. A connecting member is provided extending from the push button 20 through the operating chamber. A seal 39 is provided to prevent liquid passing from the dispensing chamber 24 to the operating chamber.

System for dispensing a liquid to a user, comprising: a container, a liquid, a dispenser, arranged to receive and hold the container in a dispensing position, and comprising a control unit user, a valve connected to the container, and connected to the control unit to selectively release or stop a flow of the liquid out of the container, characterized in that: upon releasing at least a part of the liquid, the container is deformable, the valve releasing a flow of the liquid out of the container, and upon releasing at least another part of the liquid, the valve releases a flow of liquid out of the container, and allows a flow of gas into the container.

A tap assembly with a hollow tap body which defines a dispensing chamber leading to an outlet arrangement. A valve assembly with a valve element is provided to selectively open an inlet into the dispensing chamber. A push button is provided which operates the valve assembly, and which defines an operating chamber, with the push button movable into the operating chamber. A connecting member is provided extending from the push button through the operating chamber. A seal is provided to prevent liquid passing from the dispensing chamber to the operating chamber.

A dispensing tap for liquids includes a body connected to the neck of a container, a dispensing head with an outlet or mouth, and a throat connecting the body to the dispensing head. A shut off valve is configured for sealing engagement with the mouth of the dispensing head, and a piston is axially guided within the dispensing head. The piston includes a peripheral seal slidably engaged with an interior surface of the dispensing head, and a valve stem coupled to the shut off valve. The piston is selectively actuable between a normally closed position an open position. A spring is captured between the piston and the dispensing head normally biasing the piston and shut off valve to the closed position. A vent is in communication with an interior of the body and the vent is opened and closed with movement of the piston and shut off valve.
