Publication number: 20200198858Abstract: The present disclosure provides a splash guard to minimize potential contact between the chemical product and a vent membrane during transport and/or transfer of containers, thereby resulting in preservation of the integrity of a vent membrane during transport and/or transfer of a chemical product. The splash guard is affixed to the fitment and so can be removed from the interior of the container prior to transfer of the chemical product out of the container. The splash guard may be used with fitments of varied shapes, sizes and/or structures, and with containers of varied shapes, sizes and/or structures. The splash guard is easy and inexpensive to manufacture and easy to install, e.g., by snapping onto a ring (lower perimeter) of a fitment. For example, the splash guard covers the entire circumference of the neck of a container, and is formed of a moldable material that provides rigidity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2019Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventors: Matthew Darold Lausted, Joseph Steven Bons, Andrew Richard Sarnstrom, Lisa Anne Kreye, Karl Alan Heinbuch

Patent number: 9682393Abstract: An improved system that protects a vent membrane from a liquid is provided. The system includes a container and a fitment seated in the opening of the container. A vent having a vent membrane is associated with the fitment. An elongated dip tube extends from of the fitment into the container. A splash guard is disposed within the container and may connect to the elongated dip tube. The splash guard may have a plurality of ridges extending radially from an aperture. The splash guard may alternatively comprise a tiered configuration. In operation, the splash guard permits gasses to enter the container while minimizing exposure of the vent membrane to the liquid.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2015Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Erika Erlandson, Lisa Kreye, Matthew Darold Lausted, Gretchen King
