Embodiment Construction

[0030] Referring to the drawings in detail, a typical bag-in-box container 10 for containing a liquid, such as wine, and a typical tap 12 for controllably dispensing the liquid in the container 10 are illustrated in FIG. 1 . Referring also to FIG. 2 , the container 10 includes an outer shape retainable support structure or box 14 and an inner flexible liner bag 16 . The box 14 may, for example, be made of corrugated cardboard and the liner bag 16 of a substantially liquid-impermeable material, such as plastic sheeting. As shown in FIG. 2, the container 10 also includes a connector 18 which is preferably formed of a flexible but substantially shape retainable polymeric material. The connector 18, shown in this embodiment as an internally threaded connection, is preferably of substantially tubular configuration and is provided with a flange 20 at its inner end. The flange 20 is sealingly connected to the liner bag 16 at the opening 22 of the liner bag. For example, flange 20 m...

Abstract

A tap for dispensing fluid from a vessel includes a main tap body, an actuator, and a seal member. The main tap body includes a passage with an inlet and an outlet and a seat with a shoulder formed around the outlet. The actuator has a handled and is pivotally attached to the main tap body and dispenses fluid from the vessel upon activation of the handle by a user. The seal member is received within the seat and attached to the actuator. The seal member includes a retaining portion received against the shoulder of the seat and a sealing portion which is releasably engageable with the seat. The seal member is resilient to provide a bias force to urge the sealing portion against the seat. The actuator is pivotal between a closed position in which the sealing portion is biased against the seat, thereby preventing fluid from passing through the outlet, and an opened position in which at least a portion of the sealing portion is pulled away from the seat against the bias force, thereby allowing fluid to flow through the outlet.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a tap (ie tap, valve or plug) for dispensing fluids and liquids. In particular, the present invention relates to a tap for dispensing liquid from a reservoir or container. The tap of the present invention may be used to dispense a fluid, such as a beverage (eg, wine), in, for example, a box-shaped receptacle, the beverage being enclosed within the receptacle. Background technique [0002] There are many ways of dispensing fluid in a container. One common application known in the commercial consumer market is the packaging of liquids or beverages, such as wine, in box-like containers made of cardboard and having a collapsible liner bag to hold the liquid. The spigot is attached to the liner bag using a connector secured to the liner bag and has a resilient tab portion. The tab portion can be raised with pressure, for example with a finger. When the tab is raised, the liquid in the container is dispensed through the o...
