Patent ID: 7854354

Claim:
In combination: a liquid container having upper and lower ends; said container having a hollow throat extending upwardly therefrom which has interior and exterior surfaces; a throat plug assembly, having upper and lower ends, positioned in said throat of said container to selectively close said hollow throat; said throat plug assembly including a movable valve, having inlet and discharge sides, which is movable between an upper closed position to a lower open position; said valve, when in its said lower open position, permitting flow of liquid therethrough; said valve, when in its said upper closed position, preventing the flow of liquid therethrough; a dip tube extending downwardly from said inlet side of said valve into said liquid container; and a docking station, having upper and lower ends, adapted to have said liquid container selectively removably positioned therein; said docking station having a manually movable actuator mounted at said upper end thereof which is movable between an upper position to a lower position; said actuator having a lower liquid inlet end and an upper liquid discharge end; said upper liquid discharge end having a discharge tube operatively connected thereto; said lower liquid inlet end of said actuator being in physical engagement with and in fluid communication with said discharge side of said valve, when said actuator is in its said lower open position, to open said valve, so that liquid in said container may pass upwardly through said actuator and outwardly through said discharge tube; said valve being closed when said actuator is in its said upper position; and a manually operable dispenser mounted on the upper end of said docking station which is in communication with said discharge tube and a source of water under pressure; said dispenser including means for controlling the rate of water flow therethrough and for controlling the rate of flow from the liquid container into the water passing through said dispenser.
