Abstract
A liquid dispenser has a base with a container section, a top with an elongated neck and a spout, and a push-open valve at the spout's end. An outer section of the valve engages a portion of a receptacle to depress the valve relative to the spout and open the valve and allow fluid to flow from the container through the spout and the valve into the receptacle. The push-open valve is held against the spout with a collar, and a spring biases the valve to its closed position. The top includes an air inlet, and a tube extends from the air inlet to the topside of the base and proximate to a strainer. A bladder can be placed within the interior of the liquid dispenser, and a lid and/or thin-film membrane can seal the base or bladder for storage of mixed drinks or a premix powder or solution.
