Abstract:
1. A fluid transfer assembly, comprising: a fluid container having an opening in a bottom thereof; a coupling device attached to the fluid container at the opening, the coupling device including a valve biasing the coupling device in a closed fluid-tight position via magnetic attraction of opposing first and second components, each of the opposing first and second components including a magnetic material; and a filling device configured to fill the fluid container with a liquid, the filling device including a rigid member with a perimeter smaller than a perimeter of the fluid container opening, the rigid member including a passage along a longitudinal axis and one or more apertures through a sidewall in fluid communication with the passage, wherein the coupling device is transitioned from the closed fluid-tight position to an open position by pressing the rigid member against one of the opposing first and second components to place the one or more apertures in fluid communication with an interior of the fluid container.
