Sealed bottle water system

A closed bottle water dispensing system comprising:

• a bottle guide for receiving the neck portion of a water supply bottle having a sealed cap;
• a tubular probe near the bottom of said bottle guide for puncturing a sealed cap on a water supply bottle;
• a dispensing conduit for receiving water from said tubular probe;
• a source of filtered air connected to said dispensing conduit for supplying filtered air to a water supply bottle opened by said tubular probe;
• a dispensing valve for sealing said water system and for controllably delivering water from said water conduit;
• and
• a check valve for said dispensing conduit for preventing air from entering a water supply bottle through said dispensing valve.

A sealed bottled water system comprising:

• bottle guide means for receiving the neck portion of a sealed water bottle;
• a tubular probe below and in line with the sealed water bottle for piercing the seal on the water bottle and for allowing water to drain from the bottle through said tubular probe;
• a cover means for said tubular probe for protecting the probe and water system from contamination when a water bottle is not in place;
• means for opening said cover means as a sealed water bottle descends;
• conduit means for receiving the water flowing through said tubular probe;
• closure means for sealing said conduit means and for controllably releasing water therefrom;
• check valve means for preventing air from entering a water supply bottle through said closure means;
• and
• filtered air means for supplying filtered air to said conduit means and to said bottle of water to enable water to freely flow from said water supply bottle.

A sealing cap for use on a water supply bottle for use in an inverted bottle-type dispenser comprising:

• a cap for securing on the neck of a water bottle having a sleeve portion for covering a portion of the bottle neck adjacent the open end of a bottle and a closed tubular recessed portion for extending into the neck of a water bottle, said tubular recessed portion having at least one aperture therein communicating with the inside of a water bottle;
• a valve in said tubular recessed portion, said valve including:
• a valve seat about the interior of said tubular recessed portion;
• a valve member for closing said valve;
• and
• a bias means for urging said valve member into said valve seat sealing said water bottle.

A sealed bottled water system comprising:

• a bottle guide for receiving the neck portion of an inverted sealed water bottle, said bottle guide having a tubular depending portion configured to receive and form a seal against a cap on a water supply bottle;
• an annular stop for said depending tubular portion of said bottle guide;
• a tubular member extending through an aperture in said annular stop;
• a valve in said tubular member, said valve including:
• a valve seat in said tubular member;
• a valve member in said tubular member for closing said valve and said tubular member;
• a bias means in said tubular member for urging said valve member into said valve seat;
• a water conduit attached to an end of said tubular member;
• a dispensing valve for controlling the flow of water through said water conduit and for sealing said water system;
• a check valve for/said water conduit, said check valve allowing water to drain from a water supply bottle while preventing air from entering said water supply bottle through said dispensing valve;
• and
• an air filter means connected to said water conduit for allowing filtered air to enter a water supply bottle as water leaves said supply bottle.

A liquid supply system comprising:

• a container for holding a quantity of liquid:
• a first check valve operatively connected to said container for enabling air to enter said container while preventing liquid from exiting the container through said first check valve;
• and
• a second check valve operatively connected to said container for enabling liquid to exit said container through said second check valve while preventing air from entering said container through said second check valve, said second check valve being operatively connected at a lower location on said container than said first check valve.

A system for delivering liquid comprising:

• a container for holding a quantity of liquid;
• a first check valve operatively connected to said container through which air can flow to displace liquid leaving said container and which prevents liquid from leaving said container through said first check valve;
• a water liquid delivery system connected to said container;
• and
• a second check valve in said liquid delivery system which enables liquid to flow from said container through said second check valve while said second check valve prevents air from entering said container.
