  • Patent number: 11305644
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tank of plastics material produced by blow-molding of a parison, incorporating a welding spout, of a shape projecting from its outer surface which has an edge configured to be welded to a corresponding edge of an attached part, the welding spout ending axially, on an inside of the tank, in a shape resulting from contact molding between the parison and a molding component, in which the welding spout ends axially on an outside of the tank in a shape resulting from contact molding between the parison and a molding component.

  • Patent number: 10471823
    Abstract: A method for forming a welding spout of a plastic tank from a multilayer parison, during blowing of the parison for manufacturing the tank. The method includes, in a blowing mold including two cavities and an insert, one of the cavities delimiting a recess for forming the welding spout, the recess having a mouth opening opposite the insert: providing a push member on the insert opposite the mouth of the recess of the cavity, capable of assuming a first position set back from the recess and a second position in which the push member occupies a portion of the mouth of the recess; positioning the push member in the first position thereof; blowing the parison to match a shape of the cavities; during creeping of the parison towards the inside of the recess, moving the push member into the second position thereof.

  • Patent number: 8910675
    Abstract: A method for venting of a liquid tank with a valve, a primary compartment and a secondary compartment which are connected together via a bridge. The valve includes a chamber provided with a cover, which extends at least partly into the tank and is connected via an upper venting aperture to a venting circuit. A first device monitors a level of liquid in the primary compartment. A second device monitors a level of liquid in the secondary compartment. The valve configured to be closed when the first device detects that the level of liquid in the primary compartment is equal to or higher than a first predetermined filling level, and the second device detects that the level of liquid in the secondary compartment is equal to or higher than a second predetermined filling level.

  • Patent number: 4655265
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for the transfer and dispensing of brittle solid particles, the apparatus comprises a transfer and dispensing device including a chamber divided into first and second sections by a transverse partition wall provided with one or several holes, of a diameter smaller than that of the solid particles, the two sections communicating with one another through said holes. The first section is a dispensing section proper, ending at its lower end with an opening defined by the open lower end of said chamber, wherreas the second suction or discharge section, cooperates with a suction and discharge device. The apparatus ensures an accurate proportioning and a high rate of introduction of the solid particles into bottles, reaching 25000 bottles per hour, without damaging them.
