System for dispensing liquids

1. A beverage dispensing system for dispensing liquids, the beverage dispensing system comprising:

a beverage dispensing package comprising:

an outer container;

at least one divider positioned within the outer container to form a plurality of compartments; and

a plurality of inner containers, wherein one of the plurality of inner containers is positioned within each of the plurality of compartments, and wherein each inner container of the plurality of inner containers is configured to store a liquid, each inner container comprising an outlet to enable the liquid to be dispensed;

a connector assembly configured to be coupled to the beverage dispensing package, wherein the connector assembly comprises:

a plurality of connectors configured to couple to a respective outlet of the plurality of inner containers; and

a dispensing line coupled to the plurality of connectors, wherein, when the connector assembly is coupled to the beverage dispensing package, the plurality of inner containers are coupled in flow communication with the dispensing line to enable the liquids within each of the inner containers to be jointly dispensed through the dispensing line;

wherein the beverage dispensing package further comprises an alignment plate with openings for receiving each outlet of the plurality of inner containers;

wherein the connector assembly further comprises a locking member that releasably engages the alignment plate; and

wherein the connector assembly further comprises a holding plate and an actuator plate, wherein the locking member extends through a locking member opening defined in the holding plate and the actuator plate.

2. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein each inner container is formed of a collapsible material that enables each inner container to at least partially collapse when the liquid within the inner container is dispensed.

3. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein each outlet is separated from each other outlet such that the liquid storable within each inner container is separated from each other liquid until the connector assembly is coupled to the beverage dispensing package.

4. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein the connector assembly further comprises at least one spring member coupled to the holding plate and the actuator plate to bias the actuator plate and the holding plate away from the alignment plate when the connector assembly is coupled to the beverage dispensing package.

5. The beverage dispensing system of claim 4 , wherein the locking member comprises at least one leg member that engages the alignment plate, and wherein the actuator plate is configured to disengage the locking member from the alignment plate when the actuator plate is moved towards the holding plate.

6. The beverage dispensing system of claim 4 , wherein the at least one spring member further biases the holding plate away from the actuator plate.

7. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein at least one inner container of the plurality of inner containers or the beverage dispensing package includes a tag that encodes information relating to the contents of the at least one inner container or the beverage dispensing package.

8. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1 , further comprising a removable cap for the outlet of each bag for use during transport.

9. The beverage dispensing system of claim 8 , where the removable caps are connected together.

10. The beverage dispensing system of claim 9 , where the removable caps are one of: (1) connected together via a connection mechanism and (2) affixed to a top cover of a box.

11. The beverage dispensing system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of connectors are unitarily formed within a single connector package.

12. The beverage dispensing system of claim 7 , wherein the tag is one of a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, a quick response (QR) tag, a barcode tag and a near field communication (NFC) tag.

13. The beverage dispensing system of claim 7 , wherein each inner container has an associated tag.

14. The beverage dispensing system of claim 7 , further comprising a tag reader for reading the contents of each tag.

15. The beverage dispensing system of claim 14 , wherein the tag reader is connected to the connector assembly.

16. The beverage dispensing system of claim 14 , further including a processor, the tag reader coupled to the processor, the processor configured to receive the contents of the tag from the tag reader and to determine if a connected container is correct.

17. The beverage dispensing system of claim 14 , further including a processor, the tag reader coupled to the processor, the processor configured to determine if a new container is of a same type as a replaced container.

18. The beverage dispensing system of claim 14 , further including a processor, the tag reader coupled to the processor, the processor configured to maintain a current volume of one of the containers and to reset the current volume when the one of the containers is replaced.

19. The beverage dispensing system of claim 18 , wherein the processor is further configured to maintain a last date used for the one of the containers.

20. The beverage dispensing system of claim 7 , wherein the encoded information includes one or more of the following: type of beverage in the container; alcohol content; brand name; age of content; production date; batch number; volume; unique identification number of the container; distributor of the container; and other suitable data.
