  • Patent number: 8596316
    Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling closure for a docking device used for decanting, filling, and/or emptying containers, particularly in an environmentally isolated manner. The coupling closure has a closure side and a container side and comprises a nozzle stub and a cap which is mounted in the nozzle stub so as to be pivotable about an axis and has an external side that faces the closure side in the closed position. The invention further relates to a docking device for decanting, filling, and/or emptying containers, particularly in an environmentally isolated manner. The docking device comprises first and second disclosed coupling closures which can be placed flush against each other by the respective closure sides thereof. The invention also relates to a working platform, a locking unit for a docking device, and a method for decanting, filling, and/or emptying containers, particularly in an environmentally isolated manner.

  • Patent number: 7770936
    Abstract: In a multiple coupling lock system and method for an environmentally sealed filling or refilling of a first container or a first hose, a first coupling lock has an opening area which is opened. A first flexible conveyance unit has a first end connected to the first coupling lock in an environmentally sealed manner. A second opposite end of the first flexible conveyance unit connects to a second coupling lock in an environmentally sealed manner, the opening area of the first coupling lock being sufficiently large when opened to allow the second coupling lock to pass therethrough. The second coupling lock connects in an environmentally sealed manner to the first container or first hose. The system or method provides the ability to environmentally fill or refill the first container or first hose-in an environmentally sealed manner.

  • Patent number: 7487808
    Abstract: A coupling seal includes a first sealing strip containing first and second bearing elements on opposing ends of a rabbet body and a second sealing strip containing first and second bearing elements on opposing ends of a rabbet body. Interior sides of the rabbet bodies seal against one another, at least in sections, such that the first bearing element of the first sealing strip is arranged adjacent to the second bearing element of the second sealing strip and the second bearing element of the first sealing strip is arranged adjacent to the first bearing element of the second sealing strip. A first flexible element extends between first and second fixing devices of the first sealing strip, and a second flexible element extends between first and second fixing devices of the second sealing strip. The first and second flexible elements, when installed, may have a pre-stress.

  • Patent number: 7104293
    Abstract: In a coupling element for decanting, filling, or emptying of containers, a first sealing strip a flank piece comprising elastic as a first mounting element at a first end defining a first inner space for retaining a first axis, and a second mounting element on a second opposite end defining a second inner space for retaining a second axis. A second sealing strip comprising elastic has a first mounting element on a first end which defines a first inner space for retaining the second axis, and a second mounting element on a second opposite end which defines the second inner space for retaining the first axis. Inner sides of the flank pieces of the first and second sealing strips are attachable to one another to form a seal.
