Abstract
A plastic liquid container and dispensing system includes a plastic bottle with first and second detachable bottle parts, a bladder for holding liquid including a bladder top, a bladder base and a bladder lock-nut positioned in the bladder inner volume and a spout having a spout body with a connecting end, an internal liquid flow path extending from the connecting end to a liquid outflow port and a release button for enabling liquid flow through the internal liquid flow path and out the liquid outflow port. The bladder opening is covered by a covering that is pierced by a blade at the spout connecting end to create a liquid flow path from the bladder to and through the spout (when the release button is pressed).
Claims20
A plastic liquid container and dispensing system, comprising:
- a plastic bottle with a bottle top, a bottle base and an internal bottle volume;
- a bladder or insert for holding liquid that includes a bladder top, an opening at the bladder top, a bladder base, a bladder internal volume, and a lock-nut within the bladder internal volume for securing the bladder;
- and
- a spout having a spout body with a connecting end, an internal liquid flow path extending from the connecting end to a liquid outflow port enabling liquid flow through the internal liquid flow path and out the liquid outflow port;
- wherein the spout connecting end is passed through the bladder opening and removably secured to the bladder lock-nut and dispense the liquid held in the bladder when the release button is pressed;
- and
- wherein the bladder includes a cover that covers the opening at the bladder to sealingly maintain liquid therein and that is pierced to enable liquid flow from the spout.
The plastic liquid container and dispensing system according to claim 9, wherein the bottle further comprises internal threads for connecting and maintaining the plastic gasket and, therefore, the bladder and spout connected thereto, at a fixed position within the bottle internal volume.
A plastic liquid container and dispensing system, comprising:
- a plastic bottle with a first bottle part that is detachably connected to a second bottle part to form in internal bottle volume, the first bottle part including a bottle top, and the second bottle part including a bottle base;
- a bladder for holding liquid including a bladder top with an opening, a bladder base and a bladder lock-nut positioned at or fixedly attached to the bladder top and formed with a flow path for liquid out of the bladder;
- and
- a spout having a spout body with a connecting end for connection to the bladder, an internal liquid flow path extending from the connecting end to a liquid outflow port for liquid flow through the internal liquid flow path and out the liquid outflow port;
- wherein the spout connecting end is inserted through the opening and removably attached via first threads to the bladder lock-nut to connect the spout to the bladder;
- and
- wherein the bladder includes a cover that covers the opening at the bladder top to sealingly maintain liquid therein.
A plastic liquid container and dispensing system, comprising:
- a plastic bottle with a first bottle part that is detachably connected to a second bottle part to form in internal bottle volume, the first bottle part including a bottle top, and the second bottle part including a bottle base;
- a bladder for holding a liquid, the bladder positioned in the internal volume and formed with a bladder top having an opening, a bladder base and a bladder lock-nut positioned at or fixedly attached to the bladder and formed with a flow path for liquid out of the bladder;
- and
- a spout having a spout body with a threaded outer surface including a connecting end for connection to the bladder, a spout flange positionable along the threaded outer surface, internal liquid flow path extending from the connecting end to a liquid outflow port for liquid flow through the internal liquid flow path and out the liquid outflow port;
- wherein the spout connecting end is inserted through the opening in the bladder top up to a location of the spout flange on the threaded outer surface to connect the spout to the bladder, attached via the threaded outer surface to the bladder lock-nut, thereby connecting the spout to the bladder;
- wherein the first bottle part is connected to the second bottle part, sealingly enclosing the bladder within the internal bottle volume;
- and
- wherein the bottle cap connects to the spout.
