  • Patent number: 9475074
    Abstract: A discharging device for discharging liquids includes an outer housing encompassing an inner chamber, a liquid storage receptacle, a discharge orifice, a delivery device for delivering liquid from the storage receptacle to the discharge orifice, a cap that covers the discharge orifice when present on the outer housing in a safety position, and a manual actuator adapted to actuate the delivery device and which is movable relative to the outer housing between a neutral relative position and an actuated relative position. The cap and the manual actuator cooperate so that displacement of the manual actuator is mechanically blocked when the cap is in its safety position. A locking element that is movable in relation to the outer housing is constrainedly coupled with the movement of the manual actuator and extends in the actuated position through a hole in the outer housing to a region that the cap blocks when mounted in its safety position.

  • Patent number: 8857668
    Abstract: A discharging device for discharging liquids includes an outer housing encompassing an inner chamber, a liquid storage receptacle, a discharge orifice, a delivery device for delivering liquid from the storage receptacle to the discharge orifice, a cap that covers the discharge port orifice when present on the outer housing in a safety position, and a manual actuator adapted to actuate the delivery device and which is movable relative to the outer housing between a neutral relative position and an actuated relative position. The cap and the manual actuator cooperate so that displacement of the manual actuator is mechanically blocked when the cap is in its safety position.

  • Publication number: 20110088692
    Abstract: The invention relates to a discharging device for discharging liquids, an outer housing (10) encompassing an inner chamber, a liquid storage receptical (52), a discharge orifice (20), a delivery device (54) for delivering liquid from said liquid storage receptacle (52) to said discharge orifice (20), a cap (70) that covers the discharge port (20) when present on said outer housing (10) in a safety position a manual actuator (30), which is adapted to actuate said delivery device (54) and which can be moved relatively to said outer housing (10) between a neutral relative position and an actuated relative position, wherein said cap (70) and said manual actuator (30) cooperate in such a manner that displacement of the manual actuator (30) is mechanically blocked when said cap (70) is in its safety position.

  • Patent number: 4408085
    Abstract: A process for producing sec-butanol and sec-butyl tert-butyl ether from butane comprises: (a) partially isomerizing n-butane to produce a mixture of n-butane and isobutane; (b) catalytically dehydrogenating said butanes to produce a mixture containing at least butene-1, isobutene and butadiene; (c) selectively hydrogenating butadiene and converting butene-1 to butene-2; (d) etherifying isobutene contained in the dehydrogenation reaction mixture with sec-butanol to form a mixture of sec-butyl tert-butyl ether and unreacted hydrocarbons; (e) converting butene-2 from the unreacted hydrocarbon mixture by hydration to produce sec-butanol; (f) recycling said sec-butanol to the etherification step; recovering said sec-butyl tert-butyl ether.

  • Patent number: 4032016
    Abstract: A mobile crane in which the front section of a lower carriage is provided with first fluid storage container, and in which an upper carriage has a first end section with an operator's stand and a second end section with second fluid storage container. A pump is provided which is operable by motor which may also form at least a part of the drive for the crane. This pump is adapted to pump fluid from the first fluid storage container to the second fluid storage container to serve as counterweight during hoisting operations of the crane. When the crane is to be moved over roads, the fluid from the second fluid container can selectively be released to the first fluid container for equalizing axle loads.
