     BACKGROUND 
     Technical Field of the Invention 
     The present invention relates generally to spigots and, more specifically, to a spigot for a coconut that provides easy access by consumers to the sterile coconut water within a coconut. The spigot is comprised of a conduit having a spike-tip on one end and a spout on the other with a through bore therebetween. A retaining ring is also provided as a stop for the spigot. A spigot cap is placed over the spigot and covered with a protective member. 
     The coconut having a spigot is provided to the consumer whereby the consumer gains access to the sterile coconut water by pushing the partially inserted spigot to its seated position. 
     Initially the spigot is inserted through the husk and into the coconut meat having a length of un-inserted conduit extending from the exterior. The spigot remains within the coconut meat until time of use maintaining the sterile condition of the coconut water until selective consumption by the consumer. 
     The present invention further provides for an optional air vent and straw that optionally provides for a filter to prevent pulp from being drawn into the straw. 
     Further provided are the additional elements of a coconut stand and handle mountable to the coconut and a spigot having a plunger movable from a fluid blocking position within the spigot to an unblocking position so that the coconut water can be poured into a glass. 
     SUMMARY 
     A primary object of the present invention is to provide spigot access to the coconut water within a coconut. 
     Another object of the present invention is to provide access to coconut water within a coconut by initially inserting the spigot through the husk and into the coconut meat without piercing the coconut water cavity. 
     Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a spigot having a cap that is placed over the partially inserted spigot to prevent casual displacement of the spigot during shipping and handling. 
     Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a spigot a protective member serving as a tamper evident seal. 
     An additional object of the present invention is to provide easy access by consumers to the coconut water within a coconut without compromising its sterile contents. 
     A further object of the present invention is to provide a spigot that will provide access to the coconut water within a coconut by a consumer pressing the spigot through the remained of the coconut meat and into the coconut water cavity. 
     A yet further object of the present invention is to provide an optional air vent having a resealable aperture. 
     A still further object of the present invention is to provide a straw that may have a filter on one end to prevent pulp from being drawn in. 
     Another object of the present invention is to provide a stand for a coconut. 
     Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a handle attachable to a coconut. 
     Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a spigot having a plunger that is movable from a blocking position to an unblocking position so that the coconut water can be poured into a glass. 
     The foregoing and related objects are achieved by the present invention, which provides a resealable spout for selectively accessing coconut water within a coconut having a spigot for a coconut that allows easy access by consumers to the sterile coconut water within a coconut. The spigot is comprised of a conduit having a lance on one end and a flange on the other having a through bore therebetween. A retaining ring is pro-vided as a stop for the spigot. A spigot cap is placed over the spigot and covered with a protective member. The coconut having a spigot is provided to the consumer whereby the consumer gains easy access to the sterile coconut water by pushing the partially inserted spigot to its seated position. 
     More particularly, the spigot of the present invention is preferably comprised of a valve seat positioned within a coconut aperture and a plunger sleeve positioned within the valve seat. The plunger sleeve has a based positioned membrane that seals the coconut aperture. A plunger-stopper is tethered to the plunger sleeve for shipping and storage and is used by the consumer to pierce the plunger sleeve membrane to gain access to the coconut water. The plunger sleeve is also used to reseal the coconut aperture to preserve any remaining coconut water for future consumption. 
     Further provided is an additional, preferred embodiment for a spigot comprising a conduit having a spike-tip on one end and a spout on the other with a through bore there between. The coconut having a partially inserted spigot is provided to the consumer whereby the consumer gains access to the sterile coconut water by pushing the partially inserted spigot to its seated position with a grommet provided as an insertion stop for the spigot. An optional air vent is provided to aid in fluid flow from the spigot.

Using the tethered plunger stopper  62 , the user  12  can selectively pierce the plunger sleeve membrane  78  allowing access to a desired portion of the coconut water and then reseal the coconut by inserting plunger stopper  62  into the plunger sleeve bore  74  thereby preserving the coconut water for later consumption. 
       FIG. 29  is an illustrative view of an alternate preferred embodiment of the present invention. Shown is coconut  20  having aperture  60  placed within the wall having a predetermined diameter so that valve plug  80  seats within said aperture with valve plug collar  82  substantially engaging the wall of aperture  60 . Valve plug  80  has valve plug bore  84  for receiving plunger sleeve  72  having plunger sleeve bore  74  with a based positioned plunger sleeve membrane  78  that seals the coconut&#39;s contents until plunger stopper  62  having plunger-stopper lance  68  and plunger-stopper lance tip  70  is used to puncture plunger sleeve membrane  78  thereby providing access to the coconut water contained within the coconut. Plunger-stopper  62  is tethered via  66  to plunger sleeve  72 . The plunger-stopper  72  serves to provide access to the coconut&#39;s contents and also serves as stopper to seal any remaining coconut contents for future use by providing plunger-stopper  64  that seals plunger sleeve bore  74 . 
       FIG. 30  is an illustrative view of an alternate preferred embodiment of the present invention. Shown is coconut  20  having aperture  60  placed within the wall having a predetermined diameter so that valve plug  80  seats within said aperture with valve plug collar  82  substantially engaging the wall of aperture  60 . Valve plug  80  has valve plug bore  84  for receiving plunger sleeve  72  having plunger sleeve bore  74  with a based positioned plunger sleeve membrane  78  that seals the coconut&#39;s contents until plunger stopper  62  having plunger-stopper lance  68  and plunger-stopper lance tip  70  is used to puncture plunger sleeve membrane  78  thereby providing access to the coconut water contained within the coconut. Plunger-stopper  62  is tethered via  66  to plunger sleeve  72 . The plunger-stopper  72  serves to provide access to the coconut&#39;s contents and also serves as stopper to seal any remaining coconut contents for future use by providing plunger-stopper  64  that seals plunger sleeve bore  74 . 
     While only several embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that many modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
