Abstract: Apparatus for determining deviation of a volume of liquid from a predetermined volume comprises a main vessel (4) for receiving the liquid and a measuring vessel (5) from which the deviation is determined from the meniscus of the liquid in the measuring vessel (5). A communicating tube (49) extending from a neck (32) of the main vessel (4) communicates the main vessel (4) with the secondary vessel (5) through a ball valve (56). Liquid above a weir (55) in the neck (32) flows into the measuring vessel (5). The deviation of the liquid volume is read from a scale (26) adjacent the measuring vessel (5). A variable volume bladder (71) completely filled with liquid alcohol is mounted in the main vessel (4) for compensating for volume changes in the main vessel (4) due to temperature variations.

Abstract: An orienter accepts trigger pump cap assemblies of the type in which a trigger is spaced from a cap along the pump housing of the cap assembly, the cap assemblies being presented serially in either one of first and second front-to-back orientations, and discharges the cap assemblies in only the second one of the orientations, the orienter including a pusher member which engages the pump housing of each cap assembly, as the cap assemblies travel downstream through the orienter, and pushes laterally against each pump housing to rotate the pump housing about the cap of those cap assemblies in the first orientation to reverse the front-to-back orientation of those cap assemblies so that all of the cap assemblies emerge oriented in the second orientation.
