  • Patent number: 8420027
    Abstract: A dosing device for liquids, with a distributor rail and a plurality of dosing units for the liquid that are hydraulically connected to the replaceable distributor rail. Each dosing unit has a valve unit, preferably a suction valve, a discharge valve and a discharge cannula. A piston-cylinder unit is detachably arranged on each valve unit for drawing in and measured discharging of the liquid. Each valve unit has a hydraulic connection element for detachable hydraulic connection to the distributor rail. The distributor rail has an elongate fluid supply line, a supply connection for the liquid being provided on an end of the distributor rail and dosing unit connections being distributed laterally along the length of the rail. Each of the dosing unit connections are detachably coupled to the hydraulic connection elements of the dosing units. The distributor rail is a replaceable part made of a preferably recyclable, injection-moldable plastic.

  • Patent number: 6739480
    Abstract: A dosing device with which several, preferably two, liquids can be measured and dispensed in precise quantities. In this dosing device, two bottle-top dispensers with integrated suction valves, discharge valves and a bottle-top mechanism are attached in a housing. A liquid-reservoir bottle can be affixed to the bottle-top mechanism of each bottle-top dispenser. In particular, affixing of the respectively associated reservoir bottles is ensured without confusion. Activation of the pistons of the bottle-top dispensers takes place with working strokes which differ depending on the spacing. In addition, the housing comprises a blow-out device by means of which, after each dispensing procedure, the discharge device for the liquids can be blown out and cleared of any liquid residues.
