  • Patent number: 11155371
    Abstract: A device for the dosed filling of a container with a filling material has a holding unit for holding the container and a filling unit by which a defined amount of filling material is withdrawn from a material store and transferred into the container. The filling unit has a dosing chamber. The dosing chamber is mounted displaceably alternately between a first position and in a second position. In its first position, the dosing chamber is in contact with the material store so that filling material can be transferred out of the material store into the dosing chamber. In its second position, the dosing chamber is situated above the container so that the filling material in the dosing chamber can be emptied into the container. The material store is in the form of a separate container and can be fastened detachably to the device by a fastening unit.

  • Publication number: 20190159971
    Abstract: A device for the metered filling of a container with a filling material includes a receiving unit for receiving a container and at least one material store as a storage container for the filling material. A defined quantity of the filling material is able to be removed from the at least one material store and transferred into the container by a filling unit. The filling unit includes at least one metering chamber which is displaceably mounted so that the metering chamber is present alternately in a first position and in a second position. In its first position the metering chamber is in contact with the material store so that filling material is able to be filled into the metering chamber from the material store. In its second position the metering chamber is arranged above the container so that the filling material located in the metering chamber is able to be emptied into the container. The container may, in particular, be a drinking straw.
