摘要:
A liquid storage tank assembly includes a baffle member and a tank assembly. The baffle member includes a generally helical or spiral shaped portion. The baffle member defines a spiral flow path between inlet and outlet openings of the tank assembly. When the baffle member is positioned within the tank and the tank assembly holds a volume of a first liquid, input of a supply of a second liquid at the inlet to the tank assembly forces the first liquid along the spiral flow path and out of the tank assembly exit without substantial mixing of the first and second liquids before substantially all of the first liquid has been dispensed.
摘要:
A collapsible container for storing, transporting, and dispensing liquids which includes a generally rectangular shaped box, a spout which is fluidly interconnected to the box, a pouring spout member which is attachable to the spout, a handle, and a support member which maintains the position of the spout relative to the box. The pouring spout member may form a non-releasable connection with the spout to allow for single use of the container. The container may be configured such that, when viewed in lateral cross section and when viewed in longitudinal cross section, the container includes a continuous band of material surrounding the interior volume of the container that is maintained during storage, expansion, and use.

A caulking gun having a hand-held trigger (16) operating clamp (14) with a blade (44) mounted on the clamp (14) whereby the clamp (14) and the bar (12) cooperate to cause a cartridge containing caulk to move axially against a fixed plunger (34) mounted on the clamp (14) and the blade (44) severs the cartridge containing caulk to permit the plunger to be advanced the length of the cartridge containing caulk.

Components are provided for use in systems for dispensing fluids. A resilient diaphragm (34) is provided for a diaphragm pump (30). The diaphragm (34) includes a pressurizing portion (52) and annular base wall (54) connected with a connecting member (58) to a peripheral mounting flange (60) for mounting the diaphragm (34) in the housing (32) of the pump (30). The pump housing (32) has a retention wall (70) which can be swaged against the diaphragm flange (60). The pump housing (32) has a discharge structure (36) with an outlet valve (38) and a restraint structure (130, 132) adjacent the valve (38) to prevent in-venting through the outlet valve (38). The outlet valve (38) includes a flange (160) which is retained by a retention wall (120) and which projects from the discharge structure (36) and which is swaged into engagement with the outlet valve flange (160).
摘要:
A mobile storage container has at least two compartments (11, 12), for use in transporting at least two fluids from main storage tanks to subsidiary storage tanks at other locations, the apparatus having a single fluid flow path (19) to deliver fluid, means (11c, 12c) to feed any one fluid along the flow path (19) and means (35) to clear the flow path of the first fluid, before a second fluid is sped along the flow path.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing sanitizing water in a cabinet (11) and spigot (26, 27) type bottled water dispenser (10) features an ozone generating system (50) to generate ozone for sanitizing the water. Ozone is generated and collected within an ozone generator housing (57). A blower (54) transmits air to the ozone generator housing (57). The air carries the ozone that is generated through a flow line (38) to an air diffuser (37) that is positioned upstream of the spigot (or spigots) (26, 27) used to dispense water. In one embodiment, a valve (101) that is activated on the spigot (26, 27) to dispense water also activates the blower (54) and ozone generator (50). In other embodiments, a flow sensor (145) activates the ozone generator (50) and blower (54). Various spigot (26, 27) and flow sensor (145) arrangements are disclosed as a part of the overall apparatus and method.

摘要:
A dispensing system is provided and can be embodied in a dispensing closure (100, 200, 300, 400) for a container having an opening. The system includes a unitary, resiliently flexible, molded valve array structure (130, 230, 330, 430) for being sealingly disposed on the container over the container opening. The valve array structure (130, 230, 330, 430) includes an impervious membrane (132, 232, 332, 432). The valve array structure also includes a plurality of resiliently flexible, slit valves (140, 240, 340, 440) molded unitary with the membrane (132, 232, 332, 432). Each valve (140, 240, 340, 440) has a normally closed dispensing orifice which opens when the pressure in the interior of the container exceeds the pressure on the exterior of the valve by a predetermined amount. The valves can be arranged to discharge parallel streams, diverging streams, or converging streams.
