    Abstract: A method of dispensing fluid includes dispensing a first quantity of fluid so that fluid flows through a manifold port assembly and into a first container, the manifold port assembly includes a housing having an inlet port and a plurality of outlet ports formed thereon; and a carousel bounding a plurality of fluid paths that each extend between a first end and an opposing second end, the carousel being rotatably disposed within the housing so that when the first end of each one of the plurality of fluid paths is aligned with the inlet port on the housing, the second end of the corresponding one of the plurality of fluid paths is aligned with one of the plurality of outlet ports. A motor is activated to rotate the carousel of the manifold port assembly to a second position. A second quantity of fluid is dispensed so that fluid flows through the manifold port assembly and into a second container.

    Abstract: A manifold port assembly includes a housing bounding a compartment and having an inlet port and a plurality of outlet ports formed thereon and communicating with the compartment. A carousel bounds a plurality of fluid paths that extend therethrough from a corresponding first end to an opposing corresponding second end, at least a portion of each fluid path being spaced apart from the housing and being radially enclosed by the carousel, the carousel being rotatably disposed within the compartment of the housing so that when the first end or the second end of each fluid path is aligned with the inlet port on the housing, the other of the first end or second end of each fluid path is aligned with a corresponding different one of each of the plurality of outlet ports.

    Abstract: A mixing system includes a housing having a motor mount rotatably coupled thereto, the motor mount having a passage extending therethrough. A drive shaft is removably positioned within the passage of the motor mount. A cap includes a main body removably coupled to the motor mount and an actuator coupled to the main body so as to be pivotable between a first position and a second position with respect to the main body. The actuator producing a camming action when the actuator is pivoted such that when the actuator is in the first position, the actuator pushes the drive shaft against the motor mount so that the main body is locked to the motor mount and so that rotation of the motor mount causes rotation of the drive shaft and when the actuator is in the second position, the actuator is disengaged from the drive shaft and the cap is removable from the motor mount.

    Abstract translation: 混合系统包括具有可旋转地联接到其上的电动机支架的壳体,电动机支架具有延伸穿过其中的通道。 驱动轴可拆卸地定位在电动机支架的通道内。 盖包括可拆卸地联接到电动机安装件的主体和联接到主体的致动器,以便能够相对于主体在第一位置和第二位置之间枢转。 致动器在致动器枢转时产生凸轮作用,使得当致动器处于第一位置时,致动器将驱动轴推靠在电动机支架上,使得主体被锁定到电动机支架上,并且使得电动机的旋转 安装件引起驱动轴的旋转,并且当致动器处于第二位置时,致动器与驱动轴脱离,并且帽可从电动机安装座移除。
