  • Publication number: 20240043186
    Abstract: A filter for a vent opening of a container comprises a housing and a filter element which are integrated by means of an injection molding process. A first part of the housing is formed by injection molding, after which a solid filter element and the first part of the housing are placed in a mold such that a circumferential edge portion of the solid filter element and the first part of the housing are adjacent to each other along a filling region. Material is injected against the solid filter element and the first part of the housing at the filling region, from which material a second part of the housing is formed after curing, hence forming the housing from the first and second parts of the housing and the filter element from the solid filter element. The filter element is rectangular.

  • Patent number: 11389760
    Abstract: A filter for a vent opening of a container comprises a filter element and a flange which surrounds the filter element. The filter element and the flange are integrated by means of an injection molding process, in which material is injected against a solid filter element in a mold, from which material the flange arises after curing. The filter element has an edge portion which extends in its circumferential direction. The edge portion has a front side, a back side and a side edge extending between the front side and the back side. The back side is covered the flange and the side edge in circumferential direction of the edge portion is alternatingly entirely and partly covered from the back side by the material of the flange. At the locations where the side edge is entirely covered the front side is also covered by the material of the flange.

  • Patent number: 10099913
    Abstract: A sump base dispensing system for dispensing a flowable material includes a bulk bin container having a bottom wall and a plurality of upstanding side walls foldably joined to the bottom wall to form an interior space. One of the plurality of the side walls includes a dispensing opening. A cassette is configured to be disposed into the interior space bulk bin container and is positioned within the bottom wall of the bulk bin container. The cassette includes a product bag having a respective inlet and outlet ports used for respective filling and dispensing the flowable material from the product bag. A sump base dispensing apparatus is configured to be attached to the product bag via a dispensing fitment so as to assist in removing the flowable material residual through the dispensing fitment by gravity force.

  • Patent number: 9783347
    Abstract: A valve assembly comprising a valve housing, and a valve body. The valve housing having a lower end and an upper end. A valve seat is positioned therebetween. The valve seat being inclined inwardly toward the lower end. The valve body is pivotably positionable within the valve housing, and pivoting between a first closed orientation and a second open orientation. The valve body is pivotable about an axis that extends through the valve housing positioned between the upper end and the valve seat. In the first closed orientation, the valve body is configured to translate toward and away from the lower end of the valve housing.
