Claims19
A fluid dispensing system for usage on a pre-purchased vessel in which a user has already installed a fluid of their choice, comprising:
- a fitting having a cylindrical outer surface;
- an outer cap, wherein the outer cap has a tapered cylindrical shape and is attached to the fitting;
- wherein the outer cap has two or more indented finger-areas having parallel grooves embedded therein suitable for a user's fingers to apply pressure;
- and
- a body\stem having shoulders that extend outward from the body\stem and a disc-shaped frangible surface base mechanically attached to the fitting,
- wherein when the user applies finger-pressure force to the indented finger areas, the indented finger areas transfer some of that pressure to the shoulders, which in turn translate that pressure\force to the body\stem, which then carries that force to the frangible surface for rupturing the frangible surface base and allowing fluid stored in the vessel to be admitted therethrough.
