Abstract
ABSTRACT
A LIQUID CONTAINER AND MEANS FOR DRAWING OFF
LIQUID FROM THE CONTAINER
The container comprises a plastics casing 2, e.g. of polyethylene, which may be contained in a substantially rigid cardboard casing 1. A tap 3 comprises a hollow stem 5 terminating in a conical end 4. An aperture 14 in the cardboard casing 1 acts as tap-guiding means and may be reinforced by a disc 10. The tap 3 is inserted through the aperture 14 to pierce the plastics casing 2. When the casing 2 is empty, the tap 3 may be withdrawn for re-use.
The cardboard casing may be omitted and tap-guiding means provided by a collar formed from two disc portions 12, 13 interconnected by a hollow cylinder portion 11.

Description
The present inven-tion relates to a liquid container and means for drawing off liquid from the container, e.g. wine, water, oil etc.
~ disadvan-tage of known disposable containers for liquids is that, in order to draw off liquid contained therein, it is first necessary to cut a portion of the container. As a result it is impossible to re-seal the container after partial use. Furthermore, the possible size of such containers is limited so as to allow ease of handling, in particular during emptying.
In order to avoid these disadvantages, it has been proposed to produce a cardboard container into which a small bag made of plastics and containing the liquid is inserted and liquid is drawn off from the bag by means of a tap rigidly connected to the bag by welding. When the bay is empty, it is discarded together with the tap. Such containers are not satisfactory.
Sincé the tap is permanently in contact with the liquid, it is not possible to ensure complete sealing of the tap, and leakages may occur, e.g. during transit. Furthermore, the tap is dis-carded together with the empty container, and this is wastefuland increases production costs.

~i .~i'~' 9(~73 The problems of the prior art are overcome by the present invention which provides a reusable tap for use with a liquid-containing vessel formed with a distendable wall adapted to be pierced to permit discharge of liquid from the ves~sel, the tap comprising: a shoulder limiting penetration of the tap into the vessel; a cylindrical shank projecting from the shoulder and having a free end formed with a conical point adapted to pierce the wall after distension of the wall during insertion, an inwardly extending sleeve formed by the distension of the wall hugging the shank to form a seal between the wall and the tap all around the shank; means forming a bore in the shank opening within the vessel at a location spaced from the shoulder by a distance suficient to allow the sleeve to lie freely and directly against the shank between the wall and the bore; and a plug valve on the tap adjacent the shoulder and having an elongated plug member rotatable ~ about an axis perpendicular to the shank and having an interior adapted to communicate with the bore, the plug member being hollow and open at one end to discharge liquid from the vessel when the interior of the plug communicates with the bore.
Thus, although the plastics container will be discarded when it has been emptied, the tap may be retracted for re-use.

- 2a -Preferably, the piastics casing is contained in an outer substantially rigid casing, e.g., of cardboard, having an aperture therethrough acting as tap-guiding means.
Alternatively, the tap-guiding means comprises two disc end portions interconnected by a hollow cylindrical portion, one disc being attached to the plastics casing.
Two embodiments of the invention wi]l now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing, wherein:
.
-lcmJMas Fi~ure 1 is a perspective view of a tap and a firstcontainer having an inner and an outer casing;
Figure 2 is a section of part of the container of Figure 1 with the tap inserted into the container;
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a second container;
and Figure 4 is a part cross-sectional view of part of the container of Figure 3 showing the tap abcut inserted into the container.
Figure 1 shows a cardboard box 1 produced by known means into which a polyethylene bag 2 is inserted after having been filled with its liquid contents (e.g. water, wine, oil e-tc.) and sealed, e.g. by hot welding.
One of the walls of the cardboard box 1 has a hole 14.
The thickness of the wall around the hole 14 may be increased by means of a disc 10 acting as a reinforcement for this area of the wall.
As can be seen from Figure 2, a tap 3 has a stem 5, which is cylindrical over most of its length and which terminates in a conical end 4. The stem 5 has an internal bore in the form of a duct 6, which communicates with the outsîde through holes 7 close to the conical end 4. When tap 3 is inserted through the hole 14, the conical end 4 pierces the polyethylene wall of the bag 2. The wall is deformed and adheres to the stem 5 and acts as a seal.
sd/~ ~3~
'73 The liquid in the bag 2 passes through the holes 7 into the duct 6 and reaches a gate valve 9. When the tap is opened by rotating the gate valve 9, the liquid is discharged from a duct 8. When the bag 2 has been emptied, the tap 3 is removed. The container is discarded, whereas the tap may be re-used any number of times.
In the embodiment shown in Figures l and 2, the disposable container comprises an inner polyethylene casing and an outer rigid cardboard casing. It is obvious that the same result may also be obtained if the container is made using only a single polyethylene casing 2, as illustrated in Figures 3 and 4. In order to facilitate piercing and emptying of the container 2 by means of the tap 3, an annular collar 11 is attached to the wall 2 of the polyethylene container by welding or sticklng. The collar ll is in the form of two discs of different diameters connected by a cylindrical member. The special structure of the collar 11 is made necessary by the fact that it has to be able to be welded to the front of the container so that the disc 12, of greater diameter, bears against the wall 2, whereas the disc 13, of lesser diameter, guides the tap 3 being inserted into the hole 14' and engages a flange on the tap so as to hold the tap steady when fully inserted.
