ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a tap for connection to a tube extending from a container for liquids. It includes a barrel having a substantially continuous hollow configuration open at one end and having an outlet opening in its sidewall. The open end of the barrel is adapted for fastening the barrel to the container. There is included a seat surrounding the outlet opening and complimentary plug extending into the interior of the barrel and carried by the closed opposite end of the barrel. At least a portion of the barrel is of a flexible thin-walled diaphragm-like configuration and is adapted to be inverted by a snap action from an open position to a closed position with the plug engaging the seat when in the closed position to shut off the flow of liquid through the tap.
