Abstract: A ribbed spike for use with dispensing a fluid, such a water, from a bag. The spike includes a plurality of ribs or undulations on its outer surface which can improve connection strength to a bag of fluid. Systems and methods for using such a spike in the dispensing of fluid in a variety of situations are also provided.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing apparatus comprises a collapsible bag capable of being punctured by and essentially sealed about a spike that has an inlet through which fluid can flow from the bag into a conduit leading to a chamber that is situated within an enclosed chamber in a dispensing base unit. The chamber is connected to a valve positioned outside the enclosed chamber through which fluid can be dispensed from the chamber. The enclosed chamber is vented so that as fluid is dispensed from the chamber, the air pressure in the enclosed chamber is allowed to equalize with the ambient air pressure external to the chamber and the bag.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing apparatus comprising a bag containing fluid, a container that provides support for the bag, a spike comprising a hollow stem through which fluid can flow, the spike being connected to the bag at a joint created upon the puncturing of the bag by the spike, and a dispensing mechanism for controlling the flow of fluid from the bag, which dispensing mechanism is connected to the hollow stem, and wherein the dispensing mechanism is operated to allow fluid flow.
