Abstract
A fluid dispenser for a bulk container for portable liquids or the like. A rigid outer box contains a sealable flexible fluid-containing plastic bag having a tubular dispenser sleeve mounted at an oblique angle to a plastic mounting fixture which is attached to the box that is also sealed to the outer surface of the fluid-containing bag. The dispenser, which is stored prior to use within the box, may be withdrawn and snapped into a horizontal position into a plastic clamp that is part of the mounting fixture and which prevents rotation of the sleeve. A turncock barrel rotatable within the dispensing sleeve has a sharp cutting tip which is normally angled with the angled end of the sleeve positioned to prevent piercing of the fluid bag. When rotated a half turn, the sharp cutting tip pierces the bag to permit the fluid to pass into the bore of the barrel and out through mating apertures in the barrel and sleeve.
