Abstract:
A container for self-gassing liquids, the container comprising a receptacle and an insert arranged to seat within a neck of the receptacle, the insert being further arranged to engage and seal directly or indirectly with a connector extending across the neck of the receptacle. The insert defines a void defined by a base portion of the insert and a peripheral side wall of the insert extending within the neck of the receptacle, the insert comprising a hole in the base portion. The container further comprises a dip tube extending from a lower surface of the base portion to, or towards, the bottom of the receptacle. The dip tube defines a passageway through the base portion, or is connected and sealed to the lower side of a passageway through the insert, the passageway terminating in said void such that the hole and the passageway are in fluid communication with each other through the void. Self-gassing liquids may be safely stored and transported in the container without risk of over-pressurisation of the internal volume of the container, which may also be quickly and easily installed into a dispensing device by the end user, requiring minimal handling by the user.

Claim (Index 1):
A container for liquids, the container comprising a receptacle and an insert, the insert being arranged to seat within a neck of the receptacle,\n the insert defining a void defined by a base portion of the insert and a peripheral side wall of the insert extending within the neck of the receptacle, the insert comprising a hole in the base portion; the container further comprising a dip tube extending from a lower surface of the base portion to, or towards, the bottom of the receptacle, the dip tube defining a passageway through the base portion, or being connected and sealed to a lower side of a passageway formed through the base portion of the insert, the passageway terminating in said void such that the hole and the passageway are in fluid communication with each other through the void; the container further comprising a connector having a substantially planar bottom surface arranged to extend over the neck of the container, and arranged to directly or indirectly form a seal with the container, wherein the connector comprises:\n a dispensing tube arranged to, in use, engage with a passageway of the insert such that the passageway of the insert is no longer in fluid communication with the hole of the insert through the void; \n a gas supply tube arranged to supply gas into the void, the gas supply tube being provided with means to prohibit backflow from the container; and \n a vent separate from each of the dispensing tube and the gas supply tube, the vent being sufficiently small so as to permit, in use, pressurisation of a headspace above liquid in the container.
