Abstract

A liquid dispenser, such as a tap for a liquid container particularly a wine box, includes an outer tube (2) with a discharge opening (14) formed in its side wall and an inner tube (4), which is at least partially accommodated within the outer tube (2) and defines with it an annular space, which accommodates an annular sealing member (20), which forms a seal with the outer tube. One end of the inner tube (4) is closed and one end of the outer tube (2) is integrally connected to the inner tube (4) by a flexible, integral annular web (10), whose width in the radial direction is greater than that of the annular space. The other end of the outer tube (2) is adapted for connection to the liquid container. The inner tube (4) is movable longitudinally within the outer tube (2) between an open position, in which there is a liquid flow path between the said outer end of the outer tube and the discharge opening (14), and a closed position, in which the outer surface of the inner tube (4) forms a sliding seal with sealing member (20) and the said liquid flow path is sealed.
