Abstract: A spout assembly for a flexible bag having a base flange, a body and a dual lead thread. The base flange has a top surface and a bottom surface. At least one of the top surface and the bottom surface are configured for coupling to a flexible bag. The body extends from the base flange and includes a proximal end corresponding to the base flange and a distal end spaced apart therefrom, and, an inner surface and an outer surface. The dual lead thread extends along the outer surface of the body between the proximal end and the distal end. The dual lead thread has a first threadform and a second threadform. The first threadform has a first threadform length. The second threadform has a second threadform length. The length of the first threadform is different than that of the second threadform.

Abstract: A spout and fitment assembly for a flexible bag. The spout comprises a base flange, a cylindrical upstand and a fitment coupling. The base flange is configured to be coupled to a flexible bag. The cylindrical upstand extends from the base flange. The cylindrical upstand defines a passageway therealong which is placeable in fluid communication with the flexible bag. The fitment coupling extends from the cylindrical upstand between the proximal end and the distal end thereof. The fitment assembly comprises a fitment body and a hose. The hose is coupled to the hose connection portion. The connector portion is sealingly engaged with the fitment coupling so as to place the inner bore in fluid communication with the passageway of the cylindrical upstand.

Abstract: A dispensing system which has a dispenser housing assembly, and a bag assembly that fits within the dispensing housing assembly. The bag assembly includes a flexible bag and an integrated spout and valve member. The integrated spout and valve member includes a spout portion which has an annular base flange and a spout body extending therefrom. A valve is positioned within the spout body. The valve including an opening that can be selectively opened to allow the passage of a flowable material from within the flexible bag.

Abstract: A connector apparatus including a body, a fluid supply connection subassembly and a docking station connection subassembly. The body defines a fluid passageway including a first passageway portion and a second passageway portion generally perpendicular to the first passageway portion. The first passageway portion including a first end outlet and the second passageway portion including a second end outlet. The fluid supply connection subassembly is at the first end of the body and includes an elongated probe defined by the first end outlet. The docking station connection subassembly is at the second end of the body and includes an elongated spout defining the second end outlet. The elongated spout extends from a frame including an outside surface and a base rim. The base rim defines a plane with the elongated spout extending therebeyond.

Abstract: A media control device including a housing having an internal surface; a controller piece removably connected to the housing and substantially corresponding to the internal surface of the housing; and a connection band coupled to the housing. The controller piece includes a main processor and one or more buttons in communication with the main processor. The controller piece can be encased in a sealed plastic casing. The housing can be substantially made of aluminum. In one embodiment, the connection band is a wristband. The controller piece can include one or more snaps that correspond to one or more slots on the housing and whereby the controller piece is removably fastened to the housing. The controller piece can be coupled with a remote control device.
