Patent number: 10471824Abstract: A container including sealed walls for containing a liquid, one of the walls forming a container bottom, the container bottom including a plurality of partitions defining therebetween areas contained consecutively inside one another, each of the areas communicating with an adjacent contained area via a passage including a threshold. The threshold of the passage between one area and an adjacent contained area is a low point of the area and a high point of the adjacent contained area, for any given area. The passage between the given area and the area in which the given area is contained, and the passage between the given area and the area contained within the given area are arranged in angular sectors defined by imaginary geometric angles opposed at the vertex thereof, the vertex being located in line with a lower-level area of the container, the angles having a size of less than 45°.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2015Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Plastic Omnium Advanced Innovation and ResearchInventors: Franck Dhaussy, Gwereg Paolini

Patent number: 9353660Abstract: There is provided a system for storing and injecting an additive into exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine, the system comprising a tank for storing the additive, an injector, and a pump for driving the additive from the tank to the injector via an injection channel, the system also comprising a purge device mounted between the pump and the injection channel. The purge device comprises a chamber and piston moving equipment slidably mounted in the chamber, the purge device being designed so that: movement of the moving equipment in one of its sliding directions causes a passage to open into the chamber for passing the additive to the injection channel; and movement of the moving equipment in its other sliding direction creates suction within the chamber, which causes at least some of the additive contained in the injection channel to return into the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2013Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: Inergy Automotive Systems ResearchInventors: Frederic Jannot, Franck Dhaussy, Stephane Leonard
