  • Patent number: 9950614
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a venting apparatus (10) for liquid containers, in particular for an aqueous urea solution, and comprises a housing (11) that is connectable to the liquid container (40) and that has a first opening (12) to the liquid container (40) and a second opening (13) to the surrounding environment of the liquid container. The venting apparatus further comprises an air-permeable and liquid-impermeable membrane, which is arranged between the first opening (12) and the second opening (13) in the housing (11). In addition, the venting apparatus comprises a slosh baffle, which at least partly covers the first opening (12). The venting apparatus (10) according to the invention is characterized in that the housing (11) and the slosh baffle (20) are formed in one piece.

  • Patent number: 8881931
    Abstract: A waterproof and breathable plug is provided. A protection net is assembled with one side or two sides of a waterproof and breathable membrane, to prevent insects from contacting and damaging the waterproof and breathable membrane. A collet is further assembled with the waterproof and breathable membrane, to prevent the waterproof and breathable membrane from moving, contracting and being deformed. The collet is also easily to be assembled in a breathable bolt. The waterproof and breathable plug is adjustable to regulate the breathing rate, fitting different electrical boxes or different weather conditions. Therefore, the problems of the prior art that the conventional waterproof and breathable membrane is easily bit by insects, the waterproof and breathable membrane has a constant-sized opening that cannot regulate the air amount, and the waterproof and breathable membrane is likely deformed due to the bad weather and high humidity and temperature are thus overcome.

  • Publication number: 20080110847
    Abstract: The specification discloses a device (10) insertable into a wine bottle (12) after opening, the device (10) being intended to float on the surface (21) of wine remaining in the bottle (12) and minimize deterioration of the remaining wine, said device (10) including a core structure (11) having a thin spring plate (11a) capable of being deformed when the device (10) is inserted into the bottle (12) and capable of recovering its shape once inserted into the bottle (12), the core structure (11) further having at least one floatation means (11b) and said device (10) including a liquid impervious outer sheath (18) having upper and lower walls (14, 15) sealed to one another to retain the core structure (11) therein, the outer sheath (18) being of a material that is non reactive with wine and including a flexible outer peripheral edge zone (42) with cuts or the like (49) formed therein, the outer peripheral edge zone (42) being adapted, in use, to contact the internal surfaces of the wine bottle (12) while floating

  • Patent number: 5460281
    Abstract: A safety locking screw cap and container having locking projections on the container that are registerable with a flexible flange arm extending from the screw cap to prevent rotation and removal of the cap relative the container. The cap may be removed from the container by flexing the flanged arm away from the cap by pressing on a portion of the flanged arm thus clearing the locking projection allowing removal rotation of the cap on the threaded neck of the container.

  • Patent number: 5395000
    Abstract: The fluid container with reseatable stopper includes a plunger which has mounted at one end thereof a head which seats between a pair of ribs provided in the neck of the container to create a fluid tight seal therein. The plunger is actuated by a lever set in a cavity in a bottom surface of the container, the lever moving the plunger head into and out of engagement with the ribs. A small open area is created about the circumference of the plunger head which allows fluid to flow therearound in a controlled manner when the head is not seated between the ribs.

  • Patent number: 4057060
    Abstract: A disposable medicinal application apparatus for use in the administration of a medicinal fluid comprises sealed flexible bag means at least partially filled with a quantity of the fluid to be applied. The apparatus has a neck piece freely enclosed within the sealed bag means, the neck piece being manipulable against the interior surface of a portion of the bag means and the bag wall being stretched over the neck piece. A separate applicator member has a passage in communication with discharge means. Cooperative locking and lockable means are formed on the applicator member and the neck piece, respectively, to allow the applicator member to be snap-fitted and locked to the neck piece, with the bore of the neck piece and the passage of the applicator member in alignment. A portion of the bag wall is compressed between the exterior surface of the neck piece and the interior surface of the applicator member to form a fluid-tight seal therebetween.
