Abstract: A container is described which is suitable for use with anaerobic products such as sealants and adhesives which cure, set-up or polymerise in the absence of air. The container is flexible having at least one wall made of a deformable, oxygen permeable material, which defines a cavity for receiving and retaining the anaerobic product. The wall may be made of polyethylene or polypropylene.

Abstract: A disconnectable flow connector for connecting a fluid-containing flexible bag (1) to a fluid supply line (100) is sufficiently airtight so as to allow dispensing of fluids, especially adhesives, which are highly reactive on contact with even the least quantity of air. The bag (1) has a spout (2, 3) with a pierceable membrane (5). A valve (10) has a tapering end which can pierce and then seal the membrane, an aperture (13) at the tip, and a valve plunger (14) operable so as to be retractable from the aperture (13) to an open (fluid flow) position independently of the piercing action. A fluid pressure mechanism is provided for driving fluid from the flexible bag (1) through the flow connector to the fluid supply line (100). The mechanism consists of a housing (30,31,32,33) for containing the bag (1) and a housing end wall (34) which is moveable along the length of the housing. The bag (1) has no tendency to collapse or fold in on itself.

Abstract: A package, with a nozzle, a chamber, a cap which fits over the nozzle, and a pin attached to the interior of the cap which fits into the opening of the nozzle, for storing and dispensing a liquid, having an improved closure mechanism comprising at least one rectangular stopping member and at least one rectangular band in the interior of the cap and at least one guide flange on the nozzle. The package also has a plurality of guide ribs located around the nozzle to aid in the proper placement of the cap. The package is designed to be leak proof, nonclogging, able to dispense the liquid precisely, and can be easily opened even when the pin has bonded to the opening of the nozzle without breaking or shearing the pin.
