Abstract:
Dispensing apparatus for dispensing a liquid product from a container (1) into a bottle (2), which is mounted on an upwardly biassed height adjustable plate (3). The bottle opening (4) abuts a container opening located in mounting means (5). The container (1) comprises a cylinder (6) closeable at one end by valve means and closeable at its other end by a piston (9). The valve means comprises a nozzle (8) with an operatively connected actuation member and a closure cap (35). The actuation member is movable between a closed position and a plurality of open positions by a detent pawl located on the mounting means (5). A piston actuating rod (10) is connected to an upwardly biassed control shaft (12), which may be lowered or raised by the belt system (14-18). In use the piston actuating rod exerts pressure via the piston base (25) on the contents of the container (1), thereby allowing the contents to be discharged into the bottle (2).
Abstract:
A coupling assembly for the sterile transfer of sterile materials between a transportable container (1, 201) and a sterile enclosure (P) includes a closable dock (20, 220) of the enclosure (P) which seals with a closable mouth (2, 202) of the container (1, 201) to define between them a sealed connecting chamber (24, 281). A UV light source (26, 226) mounted within the chamber (24, 281) is activated to generate UV light to sterilise the interior of the chamber (24, 281). Closures (4, 204) of the container mouth (2, 202) and dock (20, 220) are then displaced to provide a communication path between the interiors of the container (1, 201) and enclosure (P).
Abstract:
A bag-in-bag-in-bottle assembly formed by a flexible dispensing container with a dispensing fitment. The dispensing container is positioned adjacent or sandwiched between one or more flexible pressurization containers having a separate inlet/outlet path through a second fitment. The bag-in-bag assembly can then be placed in a containment vessel with the fitments mounted such that it is accessible on the vessel. A liquid can be extracted from the dispensing container by introducing a fluid into the pressurization container(s) with enough pressure to force the liquid out through the dispensing fitment. A contoured dispensing head may be coupled to the bag-in-bag-in-bottle assembly using a cam actuation arrangement for simultaneously locking the pressurization, vent and fluid extraction couplings. A key code system may be utilized wherein a universal key code ring is modified to enable key coding of the containment vessel for compatibility with only certain dispense heads.
Abstract:
Ventilkopplung (1.1) mit einem Abgabeteil (2.1) und einem mit dem Abgabeteil koppelbaren Aufnahmeteil mit einer Ventilfunktion, die im gekoppelten Zustand ein Übertragen eines flüssigen oder pastösen Mittels von dem Abgabeteil zum Aufnahmeteil gestattet, und dass im entkoppelten Zustand das Abgabeteil und das Aufnahmeteil flüssigkeitsdicht verschlossen sind, wobei das Abgabeteil ein Abgabeventil und das Aufnahmeteil (3.1) ein Aufnahmeventil aufweist. Beim An- bzw. Abkoppeln erfolgt ein Öffnen oder Schließen der Ventile durch elastische Verformung, wobei beim Ankoppeln die Ventile erst dann geöffnet sind, wenn das Abgabeteil mit dem Aufnahmeteil flüssigkeitsdicht verbunden ist und beim Abkoppeln die Ventile geschlossen sind, bevor die flüssigkeitsdichte Verbindung getrennt ist.
Abstract:
A coupling assembly (10) for removing contents of a container from an opening in the container. The coupling assembly includes a container insert (12) coupled to the container opening, the container insert including an insert passage, and an insert vent path (77) extending through the container insert. The coupling assembly also includes a unit (14) including a unit cavity, a valve assembly (88) positioned axially therein, and a unit vent path (78). When the unit (14) is coupled to the container insert (12), the insert vent path mates with the unit vent path to create a complete vent path extending from within the container to a vent port on the unit, and the valve assembly opens to place the insert passage in fluid communication with the first unit cavity.
Abstract:
Verbindungsbaugruppe zur Verbindung enes Ausgangsbehälters und eines Zielbehälters. Erfindungsgemäß weist die Verbindungsbaugruppe einen Auslasszylinder und einen Steuerzylinder auf, wobei der Auslasszylinder und der Steuerzylinder relativ zueinander verschiebbar sind und der Auslasszylinder und der Steuerzylinder in einer Betriebsstellung, in der die Verbindungsbaugruppe mit einem Zielbehälter verbunden ist, zwischen einer Schließstellung, in der der Steuerzylinder einen Strömungspfad durch die Auslassöffnung des Auslasszylinders unterbricht, und einer Öffnungsstellung, in der der Steuerzylinder den Strömungspfad durch die Auslassöffnung des Auslasszylinders freigibt, verschiebbar zueinander ausgebildet sind. Verwendung z.B. für Betriebsstoffe von Kraftfahrzeugen.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for dispensing one or more products (8) to an assembly (1) for carrying out this method, comprising a form-retaining container (2) for receiving the product(s) (8), said container (2) having an outflow opening (6), and means (9) for introducing into the container (2) a medium (15) for displacing the product(s) (8). The displacing medium introduction means (9) are arranged for introducing the displacing medium (15) into the container (2) such that it exerts on the product(s) (8) substantially only a force directed towards the outflow opening (6). The displacing medium introduction means (9) may include a chamber (18) that is separated from the part (19) of the container (2) containing the product(s) (8) by means of a flexible diaphragm (17). The dispensing assembly (1) may further include a dispensing adapter (30) connected to the container (2) around the outflow opening (6) and supporting a movable closure member (32).
Abstract:
An assembly for estimating consumption of a fluid includes a coupling device enabling fluid flow, a carrier assembly slidingly coupled to the coupling device, a biasing mechanism positioned between the coupling device and the carrier assembly, and a displacement sensing mechanism including a sensor coupled to one of the coupling device and the carrier assembly, and a magnet coupled to the other of the coupling device and the carrier assembly. The displacement sensing mechanism is configured to sense a displacement of the magnet relative to the sensor due to coupling of a fluid source to the coupling device.
Abstract:
A dosing dispenser comprises a generally vertical dosing cylinder (5) in the lower portion of a container (1) for a fluid product to be dispensed, a valve mechanism (14-17) at the bottom portion of the dosing cylinder, and a dosing piston (13) for transferral into and out of the dosing cylinder and having substantially the same external diameter as the internal diameter of the dosing cylinder. The dispenser is provided with an electric motor (7) for accomplishing axial movements of the dosing piston and with means for controlling said axial movements of the dosing piston (13) .
