  • Publication number: 20120265451
    Abstract: A digital liquid flow rate meter that comprises a body adapted to delimit a conduit for conveying liquid with two connectors which provided respectively with male threading and with female threading. In the conduit a turbine is inserted provided with a magneto that transmits impulses to a microprocessor comprised within the body and provided with an electronic card complete with display for direct reading of the flow rate of liquid conveyed. The turbine is associated with a shaft that transmits selectively at the ends, according to the direction of travel of the liquid, an axial thrust to corresponding supports that are inserted in the conduit. The shaft is provided with anti-wear elements that are adapted to ensure operation in the absence of wear in both directions of travel of the liquid.

  • Patent number: 6119896
    Abstract: The command device for dispensing fluids comprises a handgrip posteriorly constrained to a fluid feed pipe and anteriorly bearing a spout connected to the feed pipe and destined to be introduced into an access mouth of a container to be filled with the fluid. A trigger can selectively assume at least a first, closed position in which a connection between the spout and the fluid supply pipe is closed, and a second, open position in which the connection is opened. A mobile lock can on command assume at least a first, locking position, in which the trigger is maintained in the open position, and at least a second unlocked position in which the trigger is free to return into the closed position.
