Abstract: A dispensing system includes a liquid dispensing tap and an associated or integrated measuring cap/cup. The dispensing tap and cap/cup are configured such that the cap/cup is assembled with the tap prior to installation onto a container, and stays assembled with the tap during installation onto the container at the filling line, and which can later be removed for use and then reattached to the tap or container after use by the consumer.

Abstract: A rotatable and shrinkable platform for a 3d printer system can include multiple segments disposed next to each other around the axis of rotation. The segments can move between a printing configuration and a shrunk configuration. In the printing configuration, the segments are continuously and smoothly disposed next to each other to present a printing surface suitable for printing. In the shrunk configuration, the segments are overlapped to break the adhesion of a printed object with the platform to facilitate the removal of the printed object from the platform.

Abstract: A print head comprising two shafts disposed in opposite sides of a filament to drive the filament to a heated chamber for delivering a molten material. The shafts are actively driven, for example, by two independent motors. The two shaft configuration of the print head can improve a control of the filament movement rate, especially for soft filament materials.

Abstract: An order placement and fulfillment system and method allows orders to be automatically placed for framed prints, using a user's own images. The system and method provide for a streamlined set of options to select for, accommodating small screens commonly associated with mobile devices.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an extrudable resin composition and a method of extruding the extrudable resin composition, comprising a high temperature engineering thermoplastic, one or more reinforcement components, an enhancing filler component, a polymeric lubricant, and an external lubricant, wherein the extrudable resin composition is capable of withstanding temperatures up to about 427° C. The invention is further directed to the use of the extruded pipes and/or lined pipes, produced according to the present method, in downhole tubular applications in oil and gas production; in line pipe, flow line, and transportation line applications in oil and gas production and supply operations; or in most any application where corrosive protection is required to transmit or store corrosive fluids, particularly at high temperatures.

Abstract: A liner assembly including a first ring member, a second ring member, a corrosion barrier ring, a first liner and a second liner. The first ring member has a body member with a first end and a second end. The first end has a first flange and a second flange extending therefrom. The first flange and the second flange define a space therebetween. The second ring member has an extended body member having a first end and a second end. The second end has a first flange and a second flange extending therefrom. The first flange and the second flange define a space therebetween. The corrosion barrier ring is disposed between and cooperates with the first end of the first ring member and the second end of the second ring member. The first liner is configured to be secured in the space formed between the first flange and the second flange of the first ring member. The second liner is configured to be secured in the space formed between the first flange and the second flange of the second ring member.

Abstract: An improved liquid sprayer assembly for connection to a container (which preferably includes two liquid storage compartments) has a housing that includes a container mount having an underside with at least one structure that is operably interposed with corresponding structure on a neck portion of the container such that the container mount is fixed in a predetermined orientation relative to the container. A cap locks the container mount to the neck portion of the container. Preferably, the at least one structure of the container mount comprises a pair of wedge-shaped wall structures together with a plurality of wall structures that extend in a directional substantially parallel to the central axis of the mount/neck. The wedge-shaped wall structures are radially disposed opposite one another about the central axis of the container mount/neck and fit within wedge-shaped voids defined by the neck portion of the container.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing different quantities of chemical concentrate into a stream of fluid from a concentrate container wherein the container has a pressure relief vent, and the dispenser provides an air vent when it is operated. In a preferred manner, the dispenser and cap are integrally connected with the pressure relief vent located in the cap. The dispenser is capable of dispensing a wide variety of chemical products with minimal concern for the type of chemical product and pressures generated in the container.

Abstract: In one embodiment of a dispensing system for connecting a remote power sprayer to a container of liquid, a flexible delivery tube includes one end non-removably connected to a remote retainer and the other end non-removably connected to a connector hose. The remote retainer and connector hose each include strain relief elements which respectively include a retainer adaptor and a connector adaptor for relieving the connection strain between the tube, the remote retainer and connector hose, as the power sprayer is being pulled and maneuvered during use. In a second embodiment, the flexible delivery tube includes one end non-removably connected to a remote retainer and the other end disposed freely in a container, but plugged onto a connector hose and including a spring weight slidably disposed thereon.

Abstract: A sprayer assembly for connection to a container of liquid chemical to be sprayed has a manually operable rotary valve mounted within the housing of the assembly and has a carrier liquid duct and a product duct opening into the liquid duct, the valve being selectively rotatable to an ON position in which the carrier liquid inlet passage is connected with the liquid product inlet opening, and the valve being selectively rotatable to an OFF position in which the carrier liquid passage is not connected with the liquid product inlet opening, the housing have a vent port, and an external vent control member mounted on the housing for movement by the valve to close the vent port in the OFF position and to open the vent port in the ON position.

Abstract: A hose-end sprayer has a selectively rotatable rotary valve received within the transverse bore of a housing which includes a carrier liquid inlet passage, a chemical liquid inlet passage and a discharge passage. The valve has a carrier liquid duct and a chemical liquid duct opening into the carrier duct for interconnecting the inlet passage in a first rotative position of the valve, and the valve is capable of closing the inlet passages in a second rotative position of the valve. The rotary valve is selectively rotatable in a third position for interconnecting the liquid passage only with the discharge passage in a rinse position of the valve. Container venting is isolated from a valve chamber in which the rotary valve operates to avoid entry of carrier liquid into the container through the open vent in the ON position of the valve upon its selective rotation.
