Claims15
A fluid container cap comprising:
- a connection structure including an interior side and an exterior side configured to mate with a dispensing connector for dispensing fluid from the fluid container, portions of the connection structure defining a plug section and a bypass section;
- and
- a restrictor located in a flow path defined in the connection structure and defining a restriction orifice, wherein a portion of the restrictor is configured for non-returnable movement in a direction from the exterior side toward the interior side from a first position in the plug section to a second position in the bypass section,
- wherein in the first position of the restrictor, dispensing of the fluid through the connection structure is limited by the restriction orifice, and
- wherein in the second position of the restrictor, dispensing of the fluid through the connection structure is through the restriction orifice and around the restrictor.
