  • Patent number: 5105997
    Abstract: A filling nozzle includes a vertical tubular nozzle body for receiving the liquid to be filled and supplied thereto forcibly and intermittently, and a rubber tube connected to the lower end of the nozzle body and having an opening at its lower end. The rubber tube is folded at required portions to constrict the opening. The opening is held closed by the elasticity of the rubber tube against gravity acting on the liquid within the nozzle body when the supply of the liquid is discontinued but is opened by the pressure of the liquid when the liquid is supplied to the nozzle body. The nozzle body is provided at its lower end with a tube holding portion having the rubber tube fitted thereover for holding the rubber tube in shape. The tube holding portion is externally in conformity with the inner surface of the rubber tube except at the folded portions.

  • Patent number: 5027983
    Abstract: An apparatus for filling a specified amount of liquid comprises a vertical tubular nozzle having a large-diameter portion intermediately of its height and a valve seat at the edge of an open lower end thereof, a valve upwardly and downwardly movably supported by the filling nozzle and comprising a plug intimately fittable to the valve seat and a stem extending upward from the plug inside the nozzle, a resistance member fixed to the valve stem so as to be positioned in the large-diameter portion for acting against a downward flow of liquid, a spring biasing the valve upward to hold the plug in intimate contact with the valve seat against the gravity on the liquid within the nozzle, a metering cylinder for intermittently feeding the liquid into the nozzle in the specified amount at a time so that the valve is opened by the pressure of flow of the liquid against the spring, and the spring closing the valve when the feed of liquid is discontinued.

  • Patent number: 4995431
    Abstract: An apparatus for filling a specified amount of liquid comprises a vertical tubular filling nozzle, a damper attached to the lower end of the filling nozzle and pivotally movable upward and downward, a vertical rod supported upwardly and downwardly movably inside the filling nozzle, a connecting member connecting the free end of the damper to the lower end of the vertical rod, a spring biasing the vertical rod upward to hold the damper closed against the gravity on the liquid within the nozzle, and a metering cylinder for feeding the liquid to the nozzle in the specified amount at a time to open the damper against the spring. An annular seat facing downward is formed on the inner surface of the nozzle approximately at the midportion of its height. A liquid channel blocking annular member is mounted on the vertical rod so as to come into contact with the seat simultaneously when or immediately before the damper is closed.

  • Patent number: 4982770
    Abstract: An apparatus for filling a specified amount of liquid comprising a metering cylinder having a piston therein, a vertical filling nozzle having an open lower end and feedable with a liquid from the metering cylinder by the operation of the piston, a damper for opening and closing the open lower end of the filling nozzle, a spring biasing the damper to hold the nozzle end closed with the damper while the feed of the liquid is discontinued, and an opening portion adapted to open the damper against the spring simultaneously with or immediately before the start of feed of the liquid with the damper closed and to be subsequently brought out of operative relation with the damper before the feed of the liquid is discontinued so as to render the damper closable by the spring.

  • Patent number: 4900999
    Abstract: A control system for a reciprocating linear motion or intermittent motion device. The system includes e.g. programmable control for setting an extent of stroke for an operation member of the device, for setting a period of stroke time for the operation member, and a memory for storing therein in the order of addresses items of velocity data at stroke positions at a specified spacing, the items of velocity data being obtained from a predetermined operation member velocity diagram. When the extent of stroke and time are specified by, the velocities of the operation member are determined based on the specified values and the velocity data in the memory, permitting the operation member to perform a stroke motion by the specified amount for the specified time period at the velocities determined.
