ABSTRACT:
A tap made of plastic material for dispensing liquids from containers comprising a body having a cylindrical sleeve portion for attachment to a container from which liquid is to be dispensed, the wall of the cylindrical portion being provided with an outlet hole, a tap member having a hollow cylindrical spigot portion, the outer surface of which fits tightly into the sleeve, while being free to rotate therein, the spigot having an outlet hole which can be brought into and out from, alignment with the outlet hole in the sleeve by turning the spigot and a removable plug to close the open outer end of the hollow cylindrical spigot. Removal of the plug enables the container to which the tap is fitted to be filled through the tap spigot, the spigot being maintained within the sleeve with a tight fit to retain an effective seal.
