A device for continuously draining a pouch is adjustable for puncturing and draining the pouch. In certain embodiments, the device has an end portion capable of being affixed to a joint affixed to a pouch. An end-piece is connected with the affixing end portion by means for reciprocating the end-piece towards and away from the joint and pouch. A needle affixed to the end-piece extends towards the pipe and joint and has a length sufficient to penetrate through the joint to pierce the pouch when the end-piece is reciprocated towards the adjustable portion. A pipe is positioned relative to the end-piece for dispensing liquid flowing from a pierced pouch via the void from the joint to the end-piece. Alternatively, the reciprocation means is integral with and terminates in an end portion within which a pipe is affixed which is integral with a needle which has at least one opening communicating with a channel which communicates with the pipe for dispensing liquid flowing from the pouch into the void to the pipe via the needle opening and channel. Alternatively, a portion of an adjustable portion containing a needle and pipe circumscribes an extension pipe of a joint and defines a void therebetween. Means for reciprocating the adjustable portion and needle are positioned in the void. Additionally, alternatively, an adjustable portion is integral with a needle passing through it and into an extension pipe of the joint. Means to reciprocate the adjustable portion and needle are positioned in an annular void between the extension pipe and the portion of the adjustable portion which circumscribes the extension pipe.

A device which is adjustable and for being affixed to a joint affixed to a pouch containing liquid for continuously draining the pouch comprising: an end-piece of the device displaced from an end portion of the device, the end portion being capable of being affixed to a joint affixed to a pouch containing liquid to be dispensed; means connecting the end-piece with the affixing end portion for reciprocation of the end-piece in a direction towards and in a direction away from the affixing end portion, the end-piece, the reciprocation means, the affixing end portion and the joint defining a void for liquid from a pierced pouch to flow towards the end-piece; a needle affixed to the end-piece and extending within the void, the needle being affixed to the end-piece for having an axis of symmetry substantially corresponding with an axis of symmetry of the void, being tapered to a point in a direction from the end-piece to the affixing end portion, having a length such that when the end-piece is at a reciprocated position away from the affixing end portion, the point of the needle is displaced away from the pouch but having a length sufficient for penetrating through the joint for piercing the pouch when the end-piece is at a reciprocated position towards the affixing end portion and having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the void; and a pipe positioned between the end-piece and the reciprocation means for dispensing liquid flowing from a pierced pouch via the void about the needle towards the end-piece.
