Abstract
A drink valve including a housing, a valve member telescopically engaged within the opening of the housing with the housing and valve member being in fluid communication and including a flow path defined by openings of the housing and valve member, and an actuating mechanism including a deformable seal defined by a deformable sidewall of the housing, where the actuating mechanism includes a fluid tight seal that prevents fluid flow in a normally closed position and is actuatable into an open position to enable fluid flow through the flow path when the sidewall of the housing is deformed.
