ABSTRACT:
A dispensing system for bottled liquids includes a bottle cap having a slide valve biased by a spring to a closed position. The cap includes internal threads and an internal groove for engagement with both threaded and snap-on type closure bottles. A valve actuator includes a breather ring having a skirt provided with a gasket for sealing engagement with a rim of a crock. An air filter connected to the breather ring forms an airway for venting ambient air into the crock and bottle. A bottle neck seal having an internal frusto-conical seat portion includes an annular stepped outer surface for engagement with a complementary formed internal stepped surface on the breather ring. A valve actuating funnel includes a flared end portion terminating in an annular flange secured by screws to the breather ring. A tubular extension of the funnel extending downwardly within the crock terminates in a floor provided with a plurality of circumferentially-spaced liquid outlet ports. A valve actuating probe extends centrally upwardly from the floor within the extension of the funnel. In use, the neck and mouth portion of a bottle inverted within the breather ring is disposed in sealed relation within the extension of the funnel. A tip of the probe engages the bottle mouth slide valve and forces it to an open position, allowing liquid contents of the bottle to flow into the crock to a level of the bottle-mouth for dispensing via a spigot on the crock.
