Abstract:
An apparatus and method including providing a container (12) containing a given quantity of usable material (50). A full container (12) is maintained by providing displacement matter (52) separated from the usable material (50) by a mobile partition (28).
Abstract:
A liner (10) for an industrial drum (18) is provided and consists of a neck (12) with an oversized containment bag (14) which when inserted within the industrial drum (18) and filled with a material will shield the drum (18) from contamination by the material.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a system (10) for fully dispensing liquid from a bulk shipping container. The system (10) includes a bulk bin (14) and a cassette (12) disposed therein. The cassette includes a cassette board (13), a liquid bag (16) having inlet (20) and outlet ports (22) and an air inflated bag (18) that is attached to the liquid bag (16). The air bag (18) includes an air inlet port (26) formed at one end thereof and used for inflating the air bag (18) from a source of pressurized air. The air bag (18) further includes an obstruction region defined by a weld line (24) that is formed on an opposite end from the air inlet port (26) to redirect the pressurized air within the air bag (18) when inflating the air bag (18) reaches a level at which the pressurized air counteract the liquid pressure within the liquid bag (16) so as to urge the liquid toward the outlet port (22) of the liquid bag (16).
Abstract:
A Two-part, Syringe -based Electrochemical Dispenser. The dispenser consists of a disposable syringe- like fluid storage reservoir (1) and a reusable fluid driver. The driver is located at the proximal end of a conventional syringe; the fluid exit port at the distal end. The driver generates a gas that inflates an elongated bladder (6) situated within the filled syringe. Expansion of the bladder releases liquid at a rate nearly identical to the gas generation rate. The dispenser is held in a vertical position with the distal end pointed downward. Liquid is released drop -wise onto a porous material (4) from which it can evaporate. A battery- driven electrochemical oxygen generator is the gas source. Means to attach the dispenser in its vertical position are provided. Such dispensing devices can be used to release pheromones, repellants, insecticides, fragrances, etc.
Abstract:
A method of displacing solder paste or the like from a reservoir containing said paste or the like using pneumatic pressure wherein the paste or like is separated from the pneumatic pressure medium/air by means of an inflatable or expandable device or a contractible device such that the pressurised air or other gas does directly contact the solder paste, wherein a side or part of said device remote from the paste is pressurised such that the device is displaced so as to urge paste out of the reservoir.
Abstract:
A tapping device, constituted by a container made of rigid material, preferably cigar-shaped or cylinder- shaped with hemispherical head, envisages within it two distinct chambers, both equipped with opening/closing means to enable communication with the outside, which are completely separated, and have volumes that are variable in an inversely proportional way with respect to one another, by a diaphragm of variable geometry that is able to undergo deformation and adapt progressively to the internal shape of the container. One of the chambers is designed to contain the beverage to be tapped, whereas the other is a thrust chamber where there is always present a pressure in any case higher than or equal to the pressure that enables exit of the beverage from the first chamber, thus supplying not only the thrust necessary to overcome the head losses downstream of the outlet for the beverage from the first chamber, but also a rate of exit of the liquid that will enable the required flow rate and the desired exit times.

Abstract:
A fluid dispensing device and method of dispensing fluid comprises a container (20) for holding the fluid, a housing (40) having an interior in which a portion of the container is located, and a source for compressing a portion of the container disposed within the interior of the housing.
Abstract:
The system of the present invention has a flexible bladder (1) designed to provide for the transfer of liquids from a storage/transport unit to vehicles, without the necessity of pumps and/or motors. The system includes a flexible, collapsible bladder (1) that uses compressed gas or air, or a pressurized liquid, to pressurize the unit. The bladder (1) is constructed with a flexible internal diaphragm (1B), which extends from a portion of the interior of the bladder (1), and separates the ends of the bladder (1). The system further comprises removable means to inject air, gas or fluid into the first end of the bladder (1) and removable means to inject and expel the fluid stored in the second end of the bladder (1).
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).
