    [0034] In examples, the housing and the valve are formed by a double injection molding process, the housing being formed by a first material and the valve being formed by a second material. In some examples, a portion of the valve formed by the second material is completely surrounded by the first material which forms the housing, which creates a seal between the valve and the housing. In examples, one of the first material or the second material includes one of a polyethylene material, a polypropylene material, or a thermoplastic elastomer material.
    [0035] In examples, a cap is attached to the assembly, the cap being configured to cover the valve in a first position and expose the valve in a second position.
    [0036] In certain disclosed examples, a valve assembly for use with a liquid container includes a flexible valve formed with a cap that can snap-close the top of the valve, a housing that attaches the valve, and a spout to which the housing. is attached, wherein the valve is configured to accept a tube for transferring liquid to or from the liquid container.
    [0037] In examples, the tube is sized to fit inside an opening of the housing to create a liquid-tight seal between an inner wall of the opening and an outer wall of the tube when the tube is inserted into. the opening.
    [0038] In some examples, the flexible valve includes a raised portion including one or more members extending from the valve into the opening, the raised portion being formed to mate with the tube when the tube is inserted into the opening. In examples, the flexible valve includes one or more valve walls that are configured to deform from a deployed position to a retracted position in response to insertion of the tube, and return to the deployed position upon withdrawal of the tube from. housing. In examples, the flexible valve is configured to form a seal with the housing when the valve walls are in the deployed position, and to reveal a space between the tube and the valve to allow fluid to flow between. the tube and valve in the retracted position.
    [0039] In some examples, the flexible valve further includes one or more voids spaced between the one or more valve walls to allow fluid to flow through the valve. In examples, the valve includes a flexible material such as one of a polyethylene material, a polypropylene material, or a thermoplastic elastomer material. In examples, the flexible valve includes a duckbill valve. In some examples, the cap is connected to the flexible valve by a hinge.
    [0040] One embodiment of the present technology, as illustrated in Figures 2A-2C, includes a spout or spout assembly 28 attached or otherwise formed to a bag ( e.g. , a liquid dispensing bag or container). at an opening. A housing 26 is configured to releasably connect to the spout 28 (eg, screwed on, adhesive secured, press fit, force inserted, etc.). A valve 24 is fixed between the housing 26 and a retaining ring 22. In the example of Figures 2A to 2C, the valve 24 is formed from thermoplastic elastomers ("TPE") by an injection molding process, for example. Valve 24 may include a pattern of notches to allow a protrusion, such as a delivery tube, to pierce valve 24 at the surface weakened by the notches. The valve can be molded with partially notched weld lines designed to snap off and allow a probe to enter the bag which becomes sealed again as soon as the probe is removed. The flexibility of TPE allows valve 24 to form a seal around the tube when it is inserted, while allowing valve 24 to return to its original shape when the tube is withdrawn.
    [0041] As can be seen on the with embodiment 2A, a plug 20 is placed on the valve 24 to prevent contaminants from coming into contact with the valve 24. The plug 20 may be formed as a separate component and secured in place in the valve. retaining ring 22 by pressure, snap, etc. In the examples of Figures 2B and 2C, the cap 20A may be attached to the retaining ring 22, to ensure that the cap 20A is not discarded while the valve 24 is accessed and liquids, such as drinks, are dispensed.
    [0042] The spout 28, the retaining ring 22, and the dust cover 20, 20A may each be formed by an injection molding process or other suitable manufacturing technique. The components can be made of a more rigid plastic such as, for example, polypropylene.
    [0043] For example, the plug 20 may be snap-connected to the retaining ring 22 by a locking or interconnection mechanism; however, plug 20 can be connected to retaining ring 22 in a number of other ways. Further, the retaining ring 22 may be snap-connected to housing 26, or screwed together, adhesive-secured, integrally formed, or secured by other means. As can be seen, the retaining ring 22 is configured to secure the valve 24 between the retaining ring 22 and the housing 26 by pressure ( eg , by pressurized interlocking, etc.); however, other means compatible with the present disclosure are also contemplated.
    [0044] The embodiments 3A and 3B illustrated by illustrate perspective views of another valve assembly according to certain inventive techniques. A dust cover 30 closes an opening of a housing 36, which is attached to a spout 38. As can be seen for variation 3B, removal of the dust cover 30 reveals a valve 34, which is described with further details with respect to Figures 4A to 6B.
    [0045] As shown in the sectional side views of Figures 4A and 4B, the valve walls 39 of the valve 34 are separated by one or more voids 37. However, a portion 33 of the valve 34 forms a seal with the housing 36. even in the absence of the dust cover 30. A raised portion 35 of the valve 30 presents itself upon removal of the dust cover 30. The valve 34 is configured to cooperate with a distribution tube 32, as can be seen. in Figures 5A to 5C and 6A and 6B. For example, the tube 32 may be sized to fit inside an opening 31 of the housing 36 so that a seal is formed between an inner wall of the opening 31 and an outer wall of the tube. 32 when tube 32 is inserted. The raised portion 35 is formed to mate with the tube 32, as can be seen in Embodiment 5B illustrated by , so that a downward force from tube 32 deforms valve 34.
    [0046] As can be seen in embodiment 5c illustrated by , the force against the raised portion 35 retracts the valve walls 39 of the valve 34, so that the seal between the portion 33 and the housing 36 is broken. As can be seen, the raised portion 35 includes several separate elements extending from the valve 34 into the opening 31, so that upon insertion of the tube 32, fluid is free to flow into a. space 29 between valve 34 and housing 36, through void (s) 37 and into tube 32. Valve 34 may be made of a flexible material such as, for example, TPE.
    [0047] When the tube 32 is withdrawn from the valve assembly, the valve walls 39 deploy and the valve 34 returns to the original position without the force from the tube 32 in accordance with the elastic recovery characteristics of the valve 34. Then, the part 33 comes into contact with housing 36 to form a seal, which prevents fluid from escaping from valve 34.
    [0048] Figures 7A and 7B illustrate sectional side views of a valve assembly according to certain inventive techniques. As can be seen, a spout 48 is connected to housing 46 and held in place. Housing 46 fixedly retains a flexible outer shell or sleeve 42 in which a valve 44 is placed. For example, sleeve 42 can be wedged between valve 44 and housing 46. Alternatively, sleeve 42 can be formed with housing 46 or with valve 44. No retaining ring is required to hold. valve 44 in housing 46. Therefore, sleeve 42 and valve 44 extend into the liquid dispensing bag through an opening in spout 48. Valve 44 may include an integrally formed cap 40. piece, which can be attached by gasket or hinge 52.
    [0049] Valve 44 includes one or more tabs 50 in contact with sleeve 42. For example, valve 44 may be made of a more rigid material (eg, polypropylene), while sleeve 42 may be a more flexible material. (for example, a TPE), so that a seal is formed between the outer part of the valve 44 (including the lower part 47 of the valve 44) and the inner wall of the sleeve 42 when the valve 44 is inserted into the sleeve 42. The one or more tabs 50 are hinged to a body portion of the valve 44, so that the one or more tabs 50 flex outwardly from the body portion of the valve 44 when a tube is inserted into valve 44.
    [0050] As can be seen, a cutting section 54 in a wall of the body portion of the valve 44 defines a flow channel around the valve 44 to facilitate the flow of a liquid through the valve assembly when the valve assembly. valve 44 is open and the tab (s) 50 flex outwardly. Therefore, when a tube is inserted into the valve 44, the tube pushes the hinged tabs 50 outwardly and the tabs 50 in turn push the walls of the sleeve 42 outward, so that the sleeve 42 does not. is more in sealed contact with the lower part 47 of the valve 44. Thus, a fluid can flow between the lower part 47 and the sleeve 42. In this way, a fluid can pass through the valve 44 and the tube and in the beverage dispensing device. The tab (s) 50 may be designed to cover part or all of the cutting section 54 when no tube is inserted into the valve 44. Examples of the valve are shown in US Patent No. 8459511, which is incorporated herein by reference. to this.
    [0051] The illustrates a sectional side view of another valve assembly according to certain inventive techniques. As can be seen, a housing 66 is releasably attached to a pouring spout 68. A stopper 60 is snap-fastened to a retaining ring 62 by a snap clasp and / or other means. In some examples, the cap 60 includes a tab 65 to facilitate removal of the cap 60 from the retaining ring 62. The cap 60 is configured to be inserted into a valve 64 to prevent contaminants from entering the valve 64. In this example, the valve 64 includes one or more opening slits 70. For example, as can be seen in Figures 8A and 8B, each slit 70 may be formed by a pair of walls which extend from it. 'a surface of the valve 64 and terminate at a seal. The opening can be formed by notching the seal, cutting the walls where they meet, forming a thinner layer of material at the seal, so that the valve 64 normally remains closed at the same time. absence of an inserted tube. Valve 64 can be made of a flexible material, such as TPE.
    [0052] In the example of Figures 8A and 8B, the walls of each of the three slots 70 may meet at a central point to form a generally Y-shape by the seals. Seals can be separated by inserting a tube, as the notched portion provides a seal which can be separated and otherwise deformed, so that when the tube is inserted into valve 64, the walls slits 70 flex outwardly around the tube to create an opening through which fluid can flow through valve 64 and into the inserted tube.
    [0053] Although three slits are shown which meet centrally to form a Y-shape, a single slit or four or more opening slits are also contemplated. Further, the configuration of the opening slots 70, where the walls extend from a surface to meet at a seal, may also be referred to as a "duckbill" type valve.
    [0054] The illustrates a sectional side view of a valve assembly according to certain inventive techniques. As can be seen, a housing 76 is releasably attached to a pouring spout 78. A stopper 72 is snap-fastened to housing 76 by a snap clasp and / or secured by a clip 82. In some examples, the stopper 72 includes a tab 84 to facilitate removal of the plug 72 from the retaining ring. The cap 72 is configured to be inserted into a valve 74 to prevent contaminants from entering the valve 74. In this example, the valve 74 includes one or more opening slits 80, similar to the opening slits 70 of Figures 8A. and 8B.
    [0055] Additionally or alternatively, one or more of the components of the valve assembly may be formed by an overmolding process. For example, the valve 74 can be formed by any suitable technique ( eg , by injection molding). The formed valve 74 can then be fixed in another mode configured to form the housing 78 on the valve 74. Alternatively, the housing 78 can be formed first and then placed in a mold and the valve 74 can be formed with the housing. 78. Alternatively, housing 78 and valve 74 may be formed by a double injection molding process. In this way, a portion 86 of the valve 74 can be completely surrounded by a material which forms the housing 78, which creates a seal between the valve 74 and the housing 78 without the use of a retaining ring. or other means of attachment. The valve 74 can be made of a flexible material (such as TPE) and the housing 78 can be made of a more rigid material, such as polypropylene.
    [0056] Figures 10A and 10B illustrate sectional side views of another valve assembly. The assembly uses a housing 96 which is releasably attached to a pouring spout 98. In the example of Figures 10A and 10B, a valve 88 includes an integrally formed cap 90 which is attached to the valve 88. by a hinge or clip 92. The cap 90 is configured to be inserted into the valve 88 to prevent contaminants from entering the valve 88. In this example, the valve 88 includes one or more opening slits 86, similar to those of the valve 88. Opening slots 70 of Figures 8A and 8B. Valve 88 is snap-fitted to housing 96 without the use of a retaining ring. The entire valve assembly 88 (valve 88 and plug 90) may be formed from a flexible material, such as TPE.
    [0057] The illustrates a sectional side view of another valve assembly according to certain inventive techniques. As can be seen, a housing 106 is releasably attached to a pouring spout 108. A stopper 100 is snap-fastened to a retaining ring 102 by a snap clasp and / or other means. In some examples, the plug 100 includes a tab 105 to facilitate removal of the plug 100 from the retaining ring 102. The plug 100 may be connected to the ring 102 by a clip or a hinge or other connection. Cap 100 is configured to be inserted into valve 114 to prevent contaminants from entering valve 114. In this example, one or more walls 104 of valve 114 extend into spout 108 to terminate at. a surface 112. In the example of Figures 11A and 11B, the walls 104 of the valve 114 may take a generally frustoconical shape which terminates at the level of the surface 112. Although it is illustrated as being generally perpendicular to an axis extending through the center of the valve 114, the surface 112 may be tilted, domed, or take a different shape suitable to accept an inserted tube.
    [0058] As shown in Figures 11A and 11B, the walls 104 of the valve 114 may be formed with one or more inclined surfaces 116, 118 which further narrow the walls when they terminate at the surface 112. In the illustrated example, the inclined surfaces 116 and 118 may have different widths and / or extend from a base 113 of the valve 114 towards the surface 112 at different angles. In some examples, the inclined surfaces 116, 118 are each defined by a single angle relative to the base 113. In other examples, the inclined surfaces 116, 118 are defined by a gradual slope. In examples, a single inclined surface extends from base 113 to surface 112. As inclined surface 116 approaches the plane defined by surface 112, a portion 110 is formed when two adjacent inclined surfaces 116 terminate. at surface level 112.
    [0059] The surface 112 can be configured to provide an opening when the layer of material at the surface 112 is punctured by an inserted tube, so that the valve 114 remains normally closed in the absence of the inserted tube. For example, valve 114 may include a pattern of notches 111 to allow a protrusion, such as a delivery tube, to pierce valve 114 at the surface 112 weakened by the notches. The valve 114 may be made of a flexible material, such as TPE, so that the configuration of the wall 104 and the inclined surfaces 116, 118 provide a force directed towards the central axis of the valve 114 even after the valve has been closed. perforation of the surface 112 by the insertion of the tube. In some examples, one or more of the wall 104, the inclined surfaces 116, 118, or the surface 112 has a thickness which is greater than another of these surfaces. In examples, a thickness of the material used to form the valve 104 is generally greater than a valve configured to be placed in a similar housing 106.
    [0060] The illustrates a sectional side view of another valve assembly according to certain inventive techniques. As can be seen, a housing 126 is releasably attached to a pouring spout 128. A stopper 120 is snap-fastened to a retaining ring 122 by a snap clasp and / or other means. In some examples, the plug 120 includes a tab 125 to facilitate removal of the plug 120 from the retaining ring 122. The plug 120 may be connected to the ring 122 by a clip or a hinge or other connection. The cap 120 is configured to be inserted into a valve 134 to prevent contaminants from entering the valve 134. In this example, one or more walls 124 of the valve 134 extend to an opening of the spout 128 at a level. surface 132. In the example of Figures 12A and 12B, the walls 124 may be inclined towards an axis extending through the center of the valve 134, so that the valve 134 may assume a generally frustoconical shape which terminates at of surface 132. Although illustrated as being generally perpendicular to the axis extending through the center of valve 134, surface 132 may be tilted, domed, or otherwise take a different shape suitable to accept an inserted tube. .
    [0061] As shown in Figures 12A and 12B, the walls 124 of the valve 134 may be formed with one or more inclined surfaces 136, 138 which further narrow the walls when they terminate at the surface 132. In the illustrated example, the inclined surfaces 136 and 138 may have different widths and / or extend from a base 133 of the valve 134 towards the surface 132 at different angles. As the inclined surface 138 approaches the plane defined by the surface 132, a portion 130 is formed when two adjacent inclined surfaces 138 terminate at the surface 132. In some examples, the inclined surfaces 136, 138 are each defined by a single angle with respect to the base 133. In other examples, the inclined surfaces 136, 138 are defined by a progressive slope. In examples, a single inclined surface extends from base 133 to surface 132.
    [0062] Surface 132 can be configured to provide an opening when the layer of material at surface 132 is punctured by an inserted tube, by forcing an opening at portion 130. For example, valve 134 can include a pattern. Notches 131 to allow a protrusion, such as a delivery tube, to pierce valve 134 at the surface 132 weakened by the notches. The walls 124 are arranged such that the valve 134 remains normally closed in the absence of the inserted tube. For example, the valve 134 can be made of a flexible material, such as TPE, so that the configuration of the inclined surfaces 136, 138 provides a force directed towards the central axis of the valve 134 even after the perforation of the valve. the surface 132 by the insertion of the tube.
    [0063] As can be seen, the part 130A forms a Y-shape because three pairs of inclined surfaces 138 terminate at the surface 132. One or more of the parts 130 may be separated by the insertion force of a tube. . For example, the parts 130 may be notched to facilitate separation when inserting the tube. When separated, the walls 124 and slanted surfaces 136, 118 flex around the tube to create an opening through which fluid can flow through valve 124 and into the inserted tube.
    [0064] Figures 13A and 13B illustrate a sectional side view of another valve assembly and valve 134A, according to certain inventive techniques. Valve 134A is similar to valve 134, with four pairs of inclined surfaces 138A terminating level with surface 132A to form an X-shape from portions 130A having a pattern of notches 131A on a surface 132A, relative to the Y-shaped surface 132 of Figures 12A and 12B.
