No. 13/008,121, filed Jan. 18, 2011 and entitled “Spring Loaded Fluid Safety Dispenser System” which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/981,040 filed Dec. 29, 2010, and entitled “Fluid Safety Dispenser System” claiming the priority date of Nov. 28, 2010, based upon Provisional Patent Application No. 61/407,775 entitled “Fluid Safety Dispenser System,” the contents of the applications are incorporated herein by reference. 
     
    
     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    This invention relates generally to fluid safety dispensers and, in particular, to a child resistant container having a dispensing valve that is operated by an independent keyed fluid dispenser. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    The packaging for liquid medications used for children, adults, geriatrics and animals has always been vague and included a wide range of dosing. The problem is especially pronounced in pediatric elixirs wherein the dosing recommendations are by age, which can lead to improper dosing for children. Although there currently exists weight-specific dosage calculations presented on charts and pinwheels, they are not readily available to the general public. Even if available, the charts could present a confusing array of dosages that may not be understood by the general consumer. The Physician&#39;s Desk Reference may be used for the calculation, but such a reference book is not typically purchased or understood by the average consumer. It should be noted that even though an individual reaches maturity, dosing levels should still be of concern. Adults are of all sizes, and the elderly can be just as susceptible to overdosing as can a child. 
         [0004]    While the instant invention is specifically applicable to liquid medications for children, adults, geriatrics and animals, it will be obvious to one skilled in the art that the disclosed system can be utilized with any liquid dispenser. However, for ease of explanation, this disclosure will exemplify pediatric elixirs as an example of use. 
         [0005]    Applicant&#39;s U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,276,533 and 6,581,773 recognized the need for a weight based dosing regimen for pediatric elixirs, and disclosed a container mounted apparatus to accomplish the proper dosing; the contents of the patents are incorporated herein by reference. These disclosures address the dosing recommendations on containers that are based on the child&#39;s age; unfortunately the significant variations of weights of children of the same age makes dosage determination based on age not only inaccurate but most dangerous. For instance, when a child&#39;s physician instructs a child&#39;s guardian to deliver a certain amount of elixir to a child on a certain date. Should the guardian continue to give the child the same amount of medication months later, the dosage may not be correct if the child&#39;s weight has changed. A child&#39;s weight can change quickly, and if the guardian does not inform the physician of the weight change, the dosage will be improper. Continual adjustments in dosing, necessitated by the child&#39;s rapidly changing body weight, are important to ensure maximum therapeutic response to a medication. 
         [0006]    Thus, while the aforementioned patents address proper dosing, a problem remains in that a child may access the medication or the proper dosing amount is not properly measured. While known child resistant containers exist, they are only as secure as the closure top is installed properly. For instance, if the closure top is not properly engaged after opening, the safety aspect of the closure top is defeated and a child can easily access the medication. Further, once the cap is removed there is nothing to prevent the entire contents of the container from being poured out and ingested, e.g., by children who may not comprehend the threat of serious injury from improper use. 
         [0007]    Even if the medication is in the hands of a guardian, the guardian may not have a measuring cup or understand liquid conversions. For instance, if a guardian is instructed to provide 20 ml of medication but has misplaced or was not provided with a measuring cup, the guardian may assume 1 ounce (over dosing) or 1 tablespoon (under dosing) is acceptable. Similarly, a guardian only conversant in the English system may receive instructions in ml and attempt to estimate the equivalent in teaspoons. Another example would be if a guardian is instructed to provide two teaspoons but employs a tablespoon. It is not uncommon for someone to believe one tablespoon equals two teaspoons (under dosing). Further, the use of a teaspoon or tablespoon used for eating is not accurate as there is no required standard in the industry. Conventional eating spoons are shaped for aesthetic appearance, not for medical dosing. 
         [0008]    Some medication containers rely upon the use of the container cap as a measuring cup; again the medication is estimated as it is not possible to end with full caps unless the dosing is rounded upward or downward. Medication containers may include a measurement container; however, they can be displaced or intermixed with other measuring containers, again risking improper dosing. 
         [0009]    The criticality of dosing is compounded by the readily available liquid medications which are marketed for treating, management or mitigation of most any ailment. For instance, novel pharmaceutical compositions such as Coricidin®, Coricidin D®, Comtrex®, Dristan®, Daycare®, Cotylenol®, Sinubid® and the like are now well known OTC products. These formulations generally contain aspirin, ibuprofen, salicylamide or acetaminophen, one or more conventional antihistaminics, decongestants, cough suppressants, antitussives and expectorants, and are designed to address cough, cold, cold/like and/or flu symptoms, discomfort, pain, headache, fever or any number of aliments and the general malaise associated therewith. When used properly, these medications are very predictable and beneficial. When improper dosing occurs, it is not uncommon to hear a guardian inquire as to why their child&#39;s fever has not gone down despite the use of medication prescribed (typically underdosing). Or more critically, why a child&#39;s fever increased shortly after receiving a dose of acetaminophen (typically overdosing). Combinations of such compositions are commonly recommended under a physician&#39;s supervision; the combination only heightens the need for proper dosing. Well known measures are milliliters, ounces, teaspoons, tablespoons, capfuls, drops, cc&#39;s, all of which are simply poured or otherwise dispensed from the medicine container which compound the inaccuracies. 
         [0010]    U.S. Pat. No. 3,240,373 discloses a container with a side type dispenser wherein a release lock tab prevents opening of the slide unless first released. 
         [0011]    U.S. Pat. No. 3,160,301 discloses a container which uses a key and slot wherein the key is attached to an outer cap with a resilient, flexible strap. 
         [0012]    U.S. Pat. No. 3,501,041 discloses a bottle cap having an inner cap member enclosed by a sleeve member, and connecting means carried by the members provides for relative rotational and axial movement there between. Engagement of a separable locking means with the cap and sleeve members locks the members against relative rotational movement and thus permits threaded engagement or disengagement of the cap from the bottle. 
         [0013]    U.S. Pat. No. 3,684,115 discloses a safety container having a skirt with internal screw threads to form a conventional screw cap closure, and an overcap completely covering the threaded closure member and being freely rotatable in relationship thereto. The overcap has on its top a projecting stud and a similar shaped opening which serves as a key for unscrewing the inner closure member of another closure of similar construction. 
         [0014]    U.S. Pat. No. 3,698,585 discloses an inner cap member adapted for being threaded onto the neck of a bottle for closing the opening therein. An outer cap member interlocks with the inner cap member when it is turned in a direction to apply the inner cap member to the bottle. When turned in the opposite direction, the outer cap member normally does not interlock with the inner cap member. 
         [0015]    U.S. Pat. No. 3,869,058 discloses a safety closure for a container to prevent inadvertent opening of the container. The closure includes an inner cap having an internal threaded portion to be attached to the threads on the neck of the container and an outer cap overlying the inner cap. The top of the inner cap has a raised plate or ledge which is tapered and is provided with notches extending inwardly of the outer rim and a leaf spring centrally located on the top of the inner cap. The underside of the top of the outer cap has tracks to form a guideway and a stop. A slide is disposed on the guideway between the inner and outer cap and engages the stop to prevent lateral movement of the slide. When normally assembled, the outer cap will freely rotate around the inner cap without moving the inner cap. When the slide is depressed by pressure exerted through the aperture against the action of the leaf spring, the slide is moved to disengage the slot from the stop and partially out of the guideway. 
         [0016]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,281,771 discloses a child-resistant cap closure with incorporated means for over-ride of conventional normally disengaged torque couplings which includes a hole formed in the top surface of the outer cap, a formed plug having a locking protuberance and removal ring, and a plurality of spaced stop lugs formed annularly on the top surface of the inner cap. The free and separate movement of the outer cap is prevented in either direction of rotation by the plug&#39;s insertion into the hole of the outer cap as to place the base of the plug in the space between the stop lugs of the inner cap, rendering the cap non-child-resistant at the time of consumer purchase. 
         [0017]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,854,459 discloses a container having a cylindrical neck at the top and threads molded about the exterior of the neck, as well as an inner cap and outer cap. The inner cap has a top and cylindrical side wall with threads molded on the inside of the side wall so as to mate with the threads of the container. The top or side of the inner cap has ratchet type segments on its outside and the outer cap has ratchet type segments on the inside of its top or side. The outer cap has a cylindrical side wall and is usually freely rotatable about the inner cap so as to be childproof. When in the childproof configuration as described, downward pressure is required by the user so as to engage the two ratchet type segments and thereby engage the two caps to permit opening. 
         [0018]    U.S. Pat. No. 5,115,928 discloses a child-resistant closure and shell. The shell mounts a latching key and the closure provides a complementary latch. An alignment structure provides for aligning the latch and key for movement of the latching key from a mode in which the key is inactive to a mode in which it engages the latch to inactivate the child-resistant function of the closure. In that position the shell and closure are movable in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. Leaf spring fingers may be provided to elevate the shell relative to the closure to provide an additional child-resistant function. The latching key may be hingedly or slideably secured to the shell. 
         [0019]    U.S. Pat. No. 5,484,070 discloses a container having a syringe tip connector for coupling to a container, the device directed to aspirating medication into a syringe for oral administration to children, adults or animals. 
         [0020]    U.S. Pat. No. 7,111,746 discloses a child resistant closure having a pair of nested inner and outer caps. The inner cap is coaxially positioned and nested within the outer cap such that a row of angular abutments on the inner cap engage a row of angular abutments on the outer cap when engaged to allow rotation of the cap. 
         [0021]    While the prior art is directed to assuring that the consumer is knowledgeable of the proper amount of medication and the need for child resistant closures to the medication, no known prior art exists for keying a dosing container to a medication container. Thus, what is needed is a dosing syringe that is used to draw an exact amount of fluid needed to medicate an individual while assuring that only the proper dosing syringe will operate with the medication container. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0022]    The present invention provides a container and keyed fluid dispenser to inhibit inadvertent access to unmeasured quantities of potentially dangerous products, such as medicines, by requiring the user to repeat one or more deliberate steps before fluid can be extracted from the container. 
         [0023]    The fluid safety dispenser system of the instant invention includes a container for storage of fluids having a controllable opening in the container for passage of fluids stored therein. A dispensing valve is positionable in the opening, employing a leaf spring biasing a plug member wherein an open position allows fluid passage and a closed position prevents fluid passage. A keyed fluid dispenser is releasably securable to the dispensing valve for use in drawing fluid from the container. 
         [0024]    An objective of the instant invention is to disclose a dispensing valve having a leaf spring biased plug member forming a controllable flow through chamber; the plug member can be displaced by a keyed fluid dispenser forming a child resistant protector. 
         [0025]    Another objective of the instant invention is to disclose the use of a keyed fluid dispenser in combination with a leaf spring biased plug member wherein the fluid dispenser can be temporarily secured to the container to permit inverted fluid withdrawal. 
         [0026]    Still another objective of the instant invention is to disclose the use of a geometrically keyed syringe type dispenser and matched fluid container. 
         [0027]    Yet another objective of the instant invention is to eliminate the need for a sealing cap. 
         [0028]    Yet still another objective of the instant invention is to disclose the use of a keyed syringe dispenser having personalized measurement indicia for use in measuring the amount of fluid drawn from a container. 
         [0029]    Another objective of the invention is to provide a container modification that is economical to manufacture and easy to install. 
         [0030]    Other objectives and advantages of this invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with any accompanying drawings wherein are set forth, by way of illustration and example, certain embodiments of this invention.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
       [0050]    Now referring to the Figures, set forth is a container defined by a bottom  12 , a continuous sidewall  14 , and an upper section  16 . The container may contain most any fluid, but for purposes of illustration, the container detailed in this specification will be a bottle used for storing liquid medicines for children. The upper section  16  of the container resembles a conventional bottle having a mouth  18  with threads for receipt of a threaded cap. A valve assembly  22  is threaded onto the mouth of the container for use in combination with a keyed fluid dispenser  24  allowing controlled retrieval of the fluids stored within the container. The keyed fluid dispenser  24  of the instant invention is defined by a handle  26  having a shaft  28  coupling the handle to a plunger  30  that is used for drawing fluid into the chamber  32  by pulling a vacuum in the dispenser. The end of the keyed fluid dispenser includes a receptacle insert  34  specifically designed to engage the valve assembly  22 . But for the receptacle insert, the keyed fluid dispenser assimilates a conventional syringe type device. 
         [0051]    The dispenser valve assembly  22  has an aperture  31  for receipt of the receptacle insert  34 . In a preferred embodiment, the aperture includes at least one flute  41  which operates as a keying mechanism for receipt of matched tang  42  arranged on the receptacle insert  34 . When keyed alike, the flute  41  and tang cooperate allowing insertion of the receptacle insert for accessing the fluid held within the container  10 . Alternatively, the receptacle insert  34  may be sized to create a seal, thereby acting as a keying feature. For instance, the receptacle insert may be 3.5 mm in diameter, thereby requiring an aperture of the same size less a space to allow for a close tolerance coupling. If the aperture is too small, then the receptacle insert will not fit. If the aperture is too large, then the receptacle insert can be inserted but will not be able to draw fluids by vacuum. If the container is inverted with an undersized receptacle insert, fluid will spill around the fluid dispenser. 
         [0052]    The keying feature may include both a tang/flute and unique diameter sizing. The dispenser valve assembly includes a body  11  having a threaded inner surface and a lid  13  attached by a living hinge  15 . The lid  13  need not be threaded as the valve assembly prevents removal of the fluid contents unless the fluid dispenser is engaged. Rather, the lid prevents debris from collecting around the aperture and is sized to slip on and off an upper portion of the body  11 . 
         [0053]    The flutes  41  and/or tangs  42  are geometrically arranged to create a mating receptacle and dripless interface. Although simple tangs are depicted, it will be recognized to those skilled in the art that the tangs can be of any shape, size, position, or combination thereof so as to provide a locking mechanism unique to a keyed fluid dispenser having a mating receptacle for either a particular manufacturer, line of products, or type of product. 
         [0054]    The keyed fluid dispenser  24  permits a child&#39;s guardian to insure that the medication to be dosed to a child can be performed without displacing all medication held in a cabinet or refrigerator. If all medication containers are keyed, only the proper keyed fluid dispensers need be provided, thereby assuring that only the particular medication is utilized. This has particular benefit for medication that must be refrigerated, as it is difficult to hide medication in an unlocked refrigerator, and expensive to have a locked refrigerator for medicine only. Further, most medicine cabinets are unlocked and become a facilitator for selecting the wrong medicine. The keyed fluid dispenser is not affected by temperature and can be left on a counter to provide a visual reminder of medication due. The keyed fluid dispenser would have no other use and preferably be discarded or recycled after use. 
         [0055]    The body  11  of the valve assembly  22  is further defined by an outer surface  50  and an inner surface  53 . The inner surface includes a thread channel to cooperate with the thread formed along the outer surface of the bottle top. The upper surface  52  of the valve body  11  has a notched area to collect fluid spillage, if any, when the receptacle insert  34  is removed from the aperture  31 . The aperture  31  includes a flute for receipt of the tang  42 . The flute and tang are constructed and arranged to allow the tang to be directionally focused through the aperture and rotate beneath the lower surface  58  of the body  11  when fully inserted. Engagement of the lower surface with the tang temporarily secures the keyed fluid dispenser  24  to the valve assembly. Once secured, the keyed fluid dispenser and the bottle are in alignment forcing a proper seal necessary to allow the draw of fluid from the container. As the level of fluid in the bottle is lowered from consumption, it is more convenient to invert the bottle to allow fluid flow into the keyed fluid dispenser with the assistance of gravity. In such instances, a proper seal during the transfer necessitates that the alignment between the bottle and the keyed fluid dispenser is maintained while the bottle is inverted. If large volumes of fluid are drawn, the lower surface  60  of the keyed fluid dispenser  24  and the upper surface  52  of the body  11  permit venting of the container while secured together; venting is permitted by spacing the lower surface  60  and upper surface in an amount sufficient to allow air to be drawn in when fluid is removed, yet insufficient to allow fluid to escape. 
         [0056]    The lower surface  58  includes a plug member  64  that is biased into the lower opening of the aperture  31 . While a round plug is depicted, the plug can be of any size or shape; and the function of which is to seal the aperture from fluid flow until the plug is moved from the aperture. The plug  64  is biased into the lower end of the aperture by a leaf spring member  76 . The leaf spring member  76  and plug  64  can be attached to the body  11  or, more preferably, made of resilient material with a distal end of the leaf spring member positioned along the top edge of the bottle before the valve assembly is inserted into the bottle opening, effectively capturing the end of the leaf spring between the bottle surface and the body surface. 
         [0057]    The plug member  64  is shaped to permit self-alignment into the lower end of the receptacle and of a material that further assists in sealing while maintaining integrity of the fluid stored within the bottle. For instance, if the aperture does not include a flute, the plug member  64  may consist of a hard plastic ball shaped member. If the receptacle includes a flute within the aperture, the plug may include an elastomeric coating or be formed of a softer material that allows conforming to a non-circular opening. The plug member  64  is displaced from the aperture  31  by the end  61  of the receptacle insert  34  when inserted as shown in  FIG. 5 . The displacement of the plug member permits fluid flow into the fluid dispenser. As shown in  FIG. 6 , the fluid dispenser  24  can be rotated upon insertion wherein tang  42  is positioned beneath the surface  58  allowing for the aforementioned temporary securement of the fluid dispenser to the container. The leaf spring can be made of a higher tension to further inhibit children from accessing the fluids by requiring higher fluid dispenser mounting pressure in order to overcome the leaf spring biasing pressure. 
         [0058]    Referring to  FIG. 4 , the keyed fluid dispenser  24  is illustrated as being disengaged from the container  10 , the tang aligned for immediate insertion into flute  41 . The upper portion  67  of plug member  64  fits within the aperture  31 . The leaf spring  76  is pressing the plug member  64  against the aperture  31  opening in the normally closed position.  FIG. 5  depicts the keyed fluid dispenser  24  engaging the aperture  31  of the container  10 , the tang  42  shown inserted into the aperture allowing the receptacle  34  to engage the upper portion  67  of plug member  64 . The plug member  64  is also shown displaced wherein fluid can be drawn into the opening  73 . During the fluid draw, air is allowed to enter the bottle so as to prevent a vacuum lock from occurring.  FIG. 6  depicts the keyed fluid dispenser  24  fully engaging the container  10 . The tang  42  has passed through the aperture  31  and by rotating of the fluid dispenser  24 , the tang is moved away from the flute that allowed movement through the aperture and is now used to temporarily secure the fluid dispenser to the bottle. Placing of the tang beneath the surface  58  assures proper sealing between the lower surface  60  of the fluid dispenser  24  and the upper surface  52  of the valve body  11 . The plug member  64  is shown fully displaced wherein fluid can be drawn into the opening  73 . When a proper seal has been formed, the bottle can be inverted to allow fluid to be drawn into the fluid dispenser with the assistance of gravity. 
         [0059]    The valve assembly shown in this first embodiment allows for the temporary securement of the fluid dispenser to the bottle. While complex components can be used to accomplish this task, a low cost method of manufacturing employs a molded valve body  11  with the lid  13  attached by a living hinge  15 . The upper surface  52  notched area provides the benefit of a drip collection, however, the notched area is not essential to the primary function of the fluid dispenser. Alternatively a lid may be sized to fit within the notched area  52 . 
         [0060]    Referring now to  FIGS. 7-11 , set forth is another embodiment of the invention having valve body  80  defined by a top surface  82 , lower surface  84  and continuous side wall  86 . The side wall  86  has a lower section  88  sized to frictionally fit within the mouth of a container and upper section  90  sized to overlap the upper edge of a container  10 . In addition to the upper edge providing a fluid seal, the upper edge operates as stop measure to prevent the valve body from falling into the container. 
         [0061]    The previous embodiment employs the use of a tang mounted on a fluid dispenser. As an alternative, set forth is an embodiment depicting the placement of a tang on the valve body with a receptacle flute placed on the fluid dispenser. Also unique to this embodiment is the use of a separate lid  92  for covering of the valve body  80  when it is not in use. The lid  92  is of conventional design having an internal thread groove, not shown, receptive to the outer screw thread  96  placed on the outer surface of the bottle. The keyed fluid dispenser  150  includes a plunger that is used to draw fluid from the container in a conventional manner by pulling on the handle which creates a collection area for fluid beneath the plunger by the use of a vacuum void. The amount of fluid drawn can be checked against measuring indicia which can be any type of indicia and is not limited to conventional measurements. For instance, the measuring indicia could refer to the third line, alphabet characters, shapes, colors, and so forth. The use of unique indicia further enhances the security of the fluid dispenser by informing the guardian that the fluid dispenser characters must match the medication instructions. Anything that provides a measurement level corresponding to the required dosing level is appropriate. 
         [0062]    The tang  152  and/or flute  154  placed in the top  80  can be keyed to a particular manufacturer or individual products. The tangs can be configured to prevent removal of the keyed fluid dispenser or simply keyed to allow proper displacement of the dispensing valve. It should be noted that the lid  92  can be eliminated; however, for aesthetic purposes the lid allows the container to appear conventional and prevent debris from entering the aperture when stored. Should the lid be displaced, the bottle would remain sealed when the fluid dispenser is detached. 
         [0063]    The valve body  80  has a centrally disposed aperture  100  for receipt of a keyed fluid dispenser. In this embodiment, the centrally disposed aperture  100  has tangs  102  positional along an upper area of the aperture  100  for use in aligning to flutes  104  of the fluid dispenser  150 . 
         [0064]    Referring to  FIG. 8 , the keyed fluid dispenser  150  is illustrated as being disengaged from a container  10 , the tang  152  placed within the aperture  100 , the size of which can be used to block most items from being inserted into the aperture. In this embodiment, the fluid dispenser  150  has a flute  154  formed into the receptacle insert  156 . The flute  154  must align with the tang to allow insertion into the aperture. Illustrated is the leaf spring  170  pressing the plug member  177  against the lower opening of the aperture  100 , providing a normally closed position. Shown in  FIG. 8 , the lid  92  is placed over the end of the bottle preventing entry of unwanted debris into the bottle. The valve body  80  available for receipt of the keyed fluid dispenser  150 , the lid  92  has been removed, which engages the aperture  100  wherein tang  152  allows insertion by cooperating with the flute  154 , the end  146  of the receptacle insert engages the upper portion  112  of plug member  177 . The plug member  177  is displaced wherein fluid can be drawn into the opening  173 . During this time, air is allowed to escape or enter the bottle so as to prevent a vacuum lock from occurring.  FIG. 10  depicts the keyed fluid dispenser  150  fully engaging the container  10 , the tang has been driven along the length of the flute and entered a flute offset by rotation of the fluid dispenser  150 . The placement of the tang  152  into the flute  154  allows the movement through the aperture, and by engaging the offset, allows the fluid dispenser to be temporarily secured to the bottle. Placing of the tang within the flute offset further assures proper sealing between the lower surface  146  of the fluid dispenser  150  and the upper surface  82  of the valve body  80 . 
         [0065]    Referring now to  FIGS. 12-19 , set forth is a third embodiment of the instant invention depicting a valve assembly  200  valve body  210  with an upper surface  212  and centrally disposed aperture  214 . Lid  216  is coupled to the top of the valve body  210  by a living hinge  218 . The lid  216  includes a seal  220  and engages the aperture  214 , securing the lid  216  to the valve body  210 . An indentation  222  is provided beneath the lip  224  of the lid  216  for the ease of lifting. 
         [0066]      FIG. 14  depicts a cross sectional view of the valve body  210  and lid  216 . An inner surface of the valve body includes a thread groove  226  to provide an engaging thread to a bottle top. Upon entry through the aperture  214 , an enlarge opening is defined by the inner sidewall of the bottle. A base holder  211  is formed along the upper edge of the side wall and may be formed for a continuous ledge placed around the inner circumference for holding of a plug member, or the ledge may consist of a non-continuous ledge. 
         [0067]      FIG. 15  depicts the valve body  210  with a ratchet engagement  230  consisting of about thirty-two ratchets equally spaced around the circumference so as to allow unidirectional placement of the valve body  210  onto a bottle. In the preferred embodiment, the ratchet engagement  230  does not include a means for reversing the ratchet engagement so as to prevent removal of the valve body once installed. 
         [0068]    The valve body  210  has a base  240  formed of a single piece of material, preferable plastic. The base  240  is a substantially round disk shaped member having a diameter defined by an outer edge wall  242  securable to a flange member  211 . An inner edge wall  243  forms an open area  244  with at least one bridge support  246  extending from the inner edge  247  on one side of the inner edge wall to an inner edge  248  on the opposite side. A plug element  250  has a lower surface  260  constructed and arranged to engage the bridge support  246  and an upper surface  254  sized to plug the lower opening of the aperture  214 . The bridge support  246  maintains the plug element in contact with the aperture to prevent fluid flow until a displacement of the plug element allows fluid flow. The base  242  and plug element  250  are preferably molded from a single piece of material and adjoined by a living hinge  252 . The living hinge  252  is folded over to align the plug element  250  in an aligned position calculated to present the dome shape plug member into the lower opening of the aperture. Channels  254  are formed into the upper surface of the plug member  250  which facilitates fluid flow when the plug element is displaced by a receptacle insert  310 . The channels allow ease of fluid flow even if the plug element is only partially displaced. 
         [0069]      FIG. 18  depicts the valve body  240  with the plug element  250  in a folded position along living hinge  252  with the upper surface  260  of the plug  250  engaging the bridge support  246  which operates as a biasing spring.  FIG. 19  depicts the valve body  210  mounted on a bottle  10  with base member  240  secured to the valve body by placement with flange member  211 , the flange member surrounds at least a part of the base. The base member is snapped into the flanges with the dome shape portion of plug member  250  facing upward in a position that will seal the aperture  214  from fluid exiting the container. The fluid dispenser  300  has a receptacle insert  310  that fits within the aperture  214  and depresses plug member  250  away from the end of the aperture, eliminating the seal thus allowing fluid to be drawn into the fluid dispenser  300  by use of a syringe type mechanism as previously mentioned. 
         [0070]    The embodiments disclose the use of a multi component fluid dispensing valve that, which will be obvious to one skilled in the art, can be made from various manufacturing techniques to lessen the amount of components used. The valve assembly and keyed fluid dispenser provide a lock and key type arrangement for the control of fluids from a container. The use of a keyed fluid dispenser verifies that the amount of fluid drawn is exact with the calibration provided by the manufacturer. For instance, if the fluid drawn is measured in ml, then the indicia on the measuring indicia will be marked appropriately. This provides further assurance that the keyed fluid dispenser can only be used in combination with the container to which fluid is to be drawn and the keyed fluid dispenser would have no other useful purpose. The use of all plastic materials allows the container and keyed fluid dispenser to be recycled.
