Abstract

See full text

A sealed liquid container with a bottle, base, piercer, and cap. The bottle is a blow-fill-seal container with a body, dispensing head connected to the body by a neck, and a fluid chamber. The base has a socket that accepts the dispensing head and permanently attaches to the bottle by one or more fingers extending radially into the socket and under the shoulder of the dispensing head. A keying mechanism prevents the base from rotating on the bottle. The piercer has an axially-extending, sharpened, hollow tube. In shipping mode, the piercer is turned onto the base until the tube tip is touching the dispensing head. To use, the piercer is turned until the tube tip penetrates the dispensing head into the fluid chamber, and the piercer locking mechanism is engaged to prevent removal of the piercer. A cap turns onto the piercer.
