    摘要: Disclosed is a manual pouring device or belonging, suitable for piercing and emptying a granular material contained in a vacuum-sealed package, including: a tubular body, having a duct for the flow of the material, extending from an inlet opening positioned at a first end of the tubular body to an outlet opening for the granular material, positioned at a second end of the tubular body; and a hollow piercing tool having a distal end ending in a pointed tip, and a widened base at the proximal end thereof, rigidly connected to the body. The device further includes a shoulder serving as a stop, configured to come into contact with the wall of the package to stop the pouring device when the wall is pierced by the piercing tool.

    摘要: A pressure equalising device (10) which has a squat shape and which has three positions which are a first unlocked and retracted position, a second locked and retracted position, and a third unlocked and extended position wherein the device comprises a spike (14) for piercing a container, a biasing member (12) to bias the device into the first position from the third position, an upper body (20) which supports the spike and which has a locking formation (28), and a lower body (40); wherein the device has a twist lock such that the device can be rotated to and from its first and second positions; wherein the twist lock comprises a slot (52) in the lower body which is positioned to receive the locking formation (28) to immobilise the upper body (20) in relation to the lower body (40); the invention provides an ergonomically acceptable and safe way to reduce the torque force required to open the typical jar to less that 2 Nm by equalising the pressures inside and outside the jar.

    摘要: A fuel dispensing system includes that receives fuel from a fuel storage tank, and a blending system in fluid communication with the fuel dispensing unit. The blending system including a fuel conveyance device that receives the fuel from the fuel dispensing unit, and an additive conveyance device that pumps a fuel additive to be blended with the fuel based on a volumetric flow rate of the fuel, whereby the blending system provides a product mixture having a known fuel-to-fuel additive ratio. A hose and a nozzle are fluid communication with the blending system to dispense the product mixture.

    摘要: A clamp of the dispensing device may include a container engagement surface arranged to engage and/or disengage the clamp from the container neck when the clamp is pushed downwardly or pulled upwardly relative to the container neck. The container engagement surface may include a surface with a lower portion that slopes upwardly and inwardly, and an upper portion that slopes upwardly and outwardly relative to the container neck and that moves the clamp radially outwardly and away from the container neck as the clamp is moved vertically relative to the container neck. A latch may maintain a body portion of the dispensing device in an upper position, preventing needle insertion, until a container is suitably engaged with the base portion of the device, e.g., by a clamp. Sensors may detect engagement of a container with the device and/or insertion of a needle into the container.

    摘要: A beverage-making apparatus includes a fermentation tank assembly including a fermentation tank having an opening formed therein and a fermentation tank cover configured to open and close the opening. The beverage-making apparatus also includes a refrigeration cycle apparatus including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle apparatus is configured to circulate a refrigerant therethrough and to control a temperature of the fermentation tank as the evaporator is disposed at the fermentation tank. The beverage-making apparatus further includes a heat insulating wall surrounding both the fermentation tank and the evaporator.

    摘要: A handheld puncturing tool which may be used as a hand-operated puncturing tool for puncturing a container or opening a bottle. An individual's hand motion and action of piercing and pressing through a container with a handheld puncturing tool may be fast and easy for the individual. At one end of a handheld puncturing tool, a claw-shaped prong protrudes. And, protruding along the elongated body of a handheld puncturing tool may be a first sharp-ended tooth prong and a second sharp-ended tooth prong. With the sharp-ended prongs and the light weight of the handheld puncturing tool, an individual may easily operate the handheld puncturing tool to puncture a container and create a venting hole which directs airflow into the container, which reduces any vacuum effect potentially caused when the second sharp-ended tooth prong pierces the container.
