Tap for withdrawing fluid from a container

摘要

A tap is provided for withdrawing fluid from a container comprising an outer tube, which can be fitted in an opening of the container in sealing engagement and in which an inner tube is received in sliding and sealing engagement, an inlet opening arranged in the outer tube, and an inlet opening arranged in the inner tube which communicates with an outlet opening in the inner tube that can be transferred by a corresponding movement of the inner tube from a closed position, in which the inner tube is completely inserted in the outer tube and in which the inlet openings of the outer tube and the inner tube do not overlap, to an open position in which the inlet openings of the outer tube and the inner tube are at least partially aligned one with the other. The outer tube and the inner tube comprise a guide having an axial portion that permits the inner tube to be pulled out of the outer tube to a ready position in which the inlet openings of the outer tube and the inner tube are not yet aligned one with the other, and a circumferential portion which permits the inner tube to be rotated from its ready position to its open position.
