    Abstract: The spout can be used on a rigid or a nonrigid container. It includes a first member slidingly movable with reference to a second member so as to open and close a valve located at a front end of the spout. In use, the liquid flow can automatically be decreased and even stopped when the receptacle is full. The spout can include an annular outer gasket to create an airtight connection between the spout and the opening of the receptacle during pouring. This allows nonrigid containers to be emptied without collapsing. It also allows any airborne droplets and vapors present in the opening of the receptacle to be drawn into the container with the incoming air during pouring, thereby preventing or minimizing the presence of such droplets and vapors in the surrounding environment.

    Abstract: The clamp includes a hollow base having an open top side, two opposed open ends, and an inner sidewall bordering a bottom side as well as two opposite lateral sides of the base. The inner sidewall defines a passage extending between the two opposite open ends and through which a flexible tube can pass. The clamp also includes a slidable part inserted into the base at one of its ends to close its top side. The proposed concept is particularly advantageous for sugar making.

    Abstract: The spout includes a first member and a second member. The first member includes an elongated and generally tubular first main body having at least two longitudinally extending internal passageways, one being an air duct and the other being a liquid duct. The air duct ends with at least one constricted opening through which the air circuit exits the air duct. A valve is provided at the rear end of the first main body and is made integral therewith. The valve engages a valve seat provided at the rear end of an inner conduit positioned inside the second member and in which a rear section of the first main body is slidingly movable. The spout may be provided with a child-resistant closure (CRC) device.

    Abstract: The spout includes a first and a second member. The first member includes an elongated and generally tubular first main body having two segregated and parallel internal passageways, one being an air duct and the other being a liquid duct. Both ducts are substantially straight and substantially unobstructed along the entire first main body but the air duct ends with at least one constricted opening through which the air circuit exits the air duct. A valve is juxtaposed to the rear end of the first main body and is made integral therewith. The valve engages a valve seat provided at the rear end of a tubular inner conduit inside the second member and in which a rear section of the first main body is slidingly axially movable. The valve is normally maintained closed by a biasing element. The spout may be provided with a child resistant closure (CRC) device.

    Abstract: The arrangement (100) includes a sap collecting device (102) and a slide clamp (104). The sap collecting device (102) includes a tubing fixation portion (140) over which the free end of the flexible tubing (106) can be removably inserted with a frictional engagement. The slide clamp (104) includes an annular sleeve portion (180) that is slidingly insertable over the unexpanded outer diameter of the flexible tubing (106) and removably positionable proximate the free end of the flexible tubing (106), when the free end of the flexible tubing (106) is inserted over the tubing fixation portion (140), to constrict the free end in a withdrawal-resisting frictional engagement with the tubing fixation portion (140). The slide clamp (104) also includes a plug portion (182) having an outer peripheral wall surface (206) on which the free end of the flexible tubing (106) is removably insertable to prevent air and contaminants from entering.

    Abstract: The vented pouring spout includes a main body and a valve system movable between a normally closed position and a fully opened position. The main body includes a first member and a second member. The valve system includes a valve member and two spaced-apart and parallel stems projecting from an inner side of the valve member into the first member. A push button is mounted within a housing and is in an axial force-transmitting engagement with the stems. The spout, among other things, can include a child-resistant closure (CRC) device that can be operated using a single finger, for instance the thumb or any other finger, and while holding a small container.
