Patent number: 9126749Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel and advantageous connector assemblies for use with a liner-based assembly. In one embodiment, a connector assembly for use with a liner-based assembly can include a pressure port, a dispense port, a headspace removal port, and a locking mechanism. The pressure port can be adapted for connection to a pressure source. The dispense port can be adapted for fluid communication with a source of material to be dispensed from the liner-based assembly. The headspace removal port may be configured for removing a gas from the liner-based assembly. The locking mechanism may be used for locking the connector to the liner-based assembly when contents therein are under pressure. In some embodiments, the dispense port and headspace removal port may be operably coupled providing a flow path for recirculation of the contents within a liner of the liner-based assembly.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2011Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Advanced Technology Materials, Inc.Inventors: Jordan Henery Hodges, Amy Koland, Greg Nelson, Rick Wilson, Don Ware

Publication number: 20140374416Abstract: The present disclosure, in one embodiment, relates to a liner-based assembly having an overpack and a liner disposed within the overpack. The liner may be formed by blow molding a liner preform within the overpack to form a blow molded liner substantially conforming to the interior of the overpack and generally forming an interface with an interior of the overpack. The present disclosure, in another embodiment, relates to a liner-based assembly including a blow-molded overpack comprised of polyethylene terephthalate, a blow-molded liner disposed within the overpack, the liner comprised of a polymer material, wherein the overpack and liner have a combined wall thickness of about 0.3 mm or less, and a base cup configured to at least partially surround an exterior of the overpack. In some embodiments, the liner has a volume of up to about 4.7 liters and an empty weight of between about 260-265 grams.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2012Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Glenn Tom, Greg Nelson, Wei Liu, Amy Koland, Don Ware, Alfredo Daniel Botet, Jordan Henery Hodges, Eric J.

Publication number: 20140131380Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to the substantially sterile transport of a substantially sterile substance using a liner-based assembly having an overpack and a flexible or semi-rigid liner disposed within the overpack configured for pressure dispense, and a connector securable to at least one of the overpack or liner. The connector may include a first port operably connected with a quick connector configured for substantially aseptic filling of the liner. The first port may be configured for substantially aseptic sealing after filling of the liner. The connector may be configured for substantially aseptic dispense of the substance of the liner via the first port after unsealing of the first port or via a second port. In some particular embodiments, the second port may be operably connected with a quick connector, and dispense of the substance of the liner occurs via the quick connector of the second port.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2013Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: ATMI PACKAGING, INC.Inventors: Vishwas PETHE, Jeff CRAIG, Don WARE

Publication number: 20130193164Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a blow-molded, rigid collapsible liner that can be suitable particularly for smaller storage and dispensing systems. The rigid collapsible liner may be a stand-alone liner, e.g., used without an outer container, and may be dispensed from a fixed pressure dispensing can. Folds in the rigid collapsible liner may be substantially eliminated, thereby substantially reducing or eliminating the problems associated with pinholes, weld tears, and overflow. The present disclosure also relates to systems and liners, including the liners just mentioned, that may be used as alternatives to, or replacements for, simple rigid-wall containers, such as those made of glass. Such advantageous systems and liners may replace simple rigid-wall containers in a system for delivering a high purity material to a semiconductor process substantially without modification to an end user's existing pump dispense or pressure dispense systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2011Publication date: August 1, 2013Applicant: Advanced Technology Materials, Inc.Inventors: Glenn Tom, Greg Nelson, Wei Liu, Amy Koland, Don Ware, Daniel J.

Patent number: 5092194Abstract: A deployment arangement comprises an inner tube 10 pivoted to ground at `P` and carrying an outer tube 12 for telescoping movement. The inner end of the outer tube 12 carries a collar assembly 14 which is pivotally connected to a drive or radius arm 18 which is pivoted to ground at `Q`. The radius arm 18 carries a drive plate 50 which defines a cam track in which a cam follower runs. The mechanism is driven by a ram 20. On actuation of the ram 20, the consequent rotation of a drive plate relative to the collar assembly 14 initially executes a programmed rotation of the outer tube 12 about its longitudinal axis and then locks the outer tube against rotation. Thereafter, the outer tube 12 extends telescopically relative to the inner tube and the inner tube pivots about `P`.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 1989Date of Patent: March 3, 1992Assignees: British Aerospace Public Limited Company, Aerostructures Hamble LimitedInventors: David J. Oliver, William Moore, Colin Payne, Don Ware

Patent number: 4347426Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a plurality of arc-spot welds in a predetermined pattern is disclosed. A plurality of welding torches are mounted upon a carriage which is longitudinally movable relative to a work piece. The work piece is supported by work piece supports which are vertically movable to allow exit of a completed work piece and insertion of a new work piece. A clamping assembly mounted above the work piece supports is movable toward the work piece to engage the work piece to hold it in place for welding, and is movable away from the work piece to allow exit of a completed work piece. The carriage is provided with a control which stops the carriage whereby the torches will be located at positions above the work piece corresponding to the desired pattern of arc-spot welds. The control preferably comprises a cam connected to the carriage which follows a track located on the frame which defines the welding pattern.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 1980Date of Patent: August 31, 1982Assignee: ACF Industries, IncorporatedInventors: Don A. Ware, Steve A. Coughlin, Oscie B. Whatley
