Abstract
A seal removal structure can include a shell and a piercing member. The shell can have a first end section and a second end section. The first end section can be configured to receive a supply conduit of a supply fluid container and the second end section can be dimensioned to receive a receiving conduit of a container device. Additionally, the piercing member can be provided within the first end section to penetrate a seal of the supply conduit when the supply conduit is received by the first end section. Moreover, the piercing member can incise at least a portion of the seal from the supply conduit when the supply conduit or the piercing member rotates, while the supply conduit is received by the first end section.
