Abstract: The present invention relates to a connecting device for connecting discharge devices to packages (3) with liquid products, preferably foodstuff products, for discharging the products from the packages (3). The connecting device includes two connecting members which can be connected to each other, namely a first connecting member (9) which has a hole (11), the hole being closed by means of a closing member (13), and a second connecting member having a tubular member by means of which the closing member (13) can be penetrated for opening the first connecting member (9). The tubular member can be inserted into the hole (11) and pressed onto edge portions (16) of the hole (11) in the first connecting member (9). The hole (11) has four, five or six corners (15) and edge portions (16) which extend between the corners and the tubular member is designed to fit with the hole (11).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spacer at connecting devices which are adapted to connect discharge devices (2) to packages (3) with liquid products (4), preferably foodstuff products, for discharging the products (4) from the packages (3). The spacer (19) is provided on a connecting means (26) and is adapted to be located in the package (3) in order to, during emptying of the package, keep wall portions thereof at a distance from a connecting device (1) such that the wall portions do not prevent or substantially obstruct emptying of the package (3). The spacer (19) has resilient properties and can be pressed into a space (28) in a tube member (23) and spring back to a normal shape (NF).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spray head for spreading liquid or semi-liquid products, preferably foodstuff. A product feeder (5) is provided to feed or convey a product (2) through a feed conduit (3) from a product container (4) to the spray head (1) and spraying nozzles (18) are provided to spread the product (2) when it is discharged from the spray head (1). The spray head (1) comprises three separate members, namely an upper coupling member (7), a lower coupling member (8) and a nozzle member (9) provided therebetween. The upper coupling member (7) is connected to the lower coupling member (8) and to the feed conduit (3). The nozzle member (9) and/or the upper coupling member (7) define, when the upper and lower coupling members (7, 8) are interconnected, distributing spaces (13) for distributing product (2). The spraying nozzles (18) of the nozzle member (9) are provided to open and to close.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device at packages, coupling members and method for application of a coupling member. The device comprises coupling members (4, 8) with non-circular coupling portions (5, 9) which fit together only if they have the same non-circular shape. The non-circular coupling portions (5, 9) are also located relative to the package (1) such that a conduit (13) for discharging product (3) from the package (1) attains a predetermined position in relation thereto or the conduit (13) can be rotated to such a position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to dispensing device for dispensing portions of liquid foodstuff from a foodstuff container. A pump device (5) includes a pump chamber (10) and a connecting pipe (7) or similar for connecting the foodstuff container (2) to the pump chamber (10) and a pump means (14) forming part of the pump device (5) is designed and can be affected such that said pump means (14) can generate a vacuum in the pump chamber (10), connecting pipe (7) and foodstuff container (2) for drawing foodstuff (4) out of said foodstuff container (2) to the pump chamber (10). At least portions (18) of a through-flow passage (13) for foodstuff (4) in the connecting pipe (7) taper in which the flow direction (S) in which food-stuff (4) flows through said through-flow passage (13). The connecting pipe (7) has an inlet pipe (11) which can be pressed through a flexible wall (3) of the foodstuff container (2) and be connected to a connecting member (21) therein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for opening and closing containers having flexible walls and containing a liquid or semi-liquid product, preferably foodstuff such as e.g. ketchup, mustard, dressing, mayonnaise or similar. The container (1) comprises an inner coupling member (4) which is located on the inner side of a sealed or closed portion of the flexible walls (2). A tube member (12) includes a hole-making and coupling member (13) which is pressed through the closed portion of the flexible walls (2) and connected to the inner coupling member (4). The tube member (12) further includes a sealable member (14) which is adapted to be sealed or closed by means of a sealing or closing means (16) such that a container (1) opened by the tube member (12) can be closed again. The sealing or closing means (16) is connected with the tube member (12) or with a member (17) associated therewith.
