  • Patent number: 8596478
    Abstract: A closure for a container for sealing the contents of the container includes a cap assembly having a first portion that is insertable into a dispensing opening formed in the container and a second portion that is rotatable relative to the first portion. The cap is positionable between at least a dispensing position in which the contents of the container can be dispensed through the cap assembly and a closed position in which the contents are sealed in the container from atmospheric conditions. The closure also includes a rollable, flexible liner for receiving and holding the contents, the liner being coupled to the cap assembly and in fluid communication therewith so that the liner can initially receive the contents and later dispense the contents through the cap assembly.

  • Patent number: 7533701
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus for transferring a liquid from a source container to a destination container including a liquid transfer mechanism; at least one unidirectional valve preventing backflow into the source container; a source needle, inserted into a sealed closure of the source container, withdrawing the liquid from the source container; a destination needle, inserted into a sealed closure of the destination container, depositing the liquid into the destination container; an inert gas container supplying an inert gas to the source container; and at least one vent check valve releasing pressure from at least one of the containers when the pressure in the container exceeds a predetermined pressure limit. The present invention transfers liquids such as wine from an original sealed container into various new containers under controlled conditions without compromising the original composition of the liquids.
