  • Patent number: 4537335
    Abstract: The drawings and description disclose a liquid filler arrangement including upper and main bodies and a lower sleeve nozzle, with a diaphragm assembly mounted between the main and upper bodies and an inlet formed in the side of the main body. Combined valve and orifice mechanism is operatively positioned substantially at the juncture of the main body and the sleeve nozzle, and one of a diffuser, a lip seal, or a valve is located at the bottom end of the sleeve nozzle, each of which supports a column of liquid product, the diffuser and lip seal by capillary action, and the valve by virtue of being closed. Upon a measured volume of liquid product being pumped into the side inlet by a remote timed piston device, an equivalent measured volume is discharged from the sleeve nozzle through its diffuser or opened lip seal or valve into a container which may be mounted around the sleeve nozzle and filled as it is being pulled from around the sleeve nozzle by a suitable external arrangement.
