  • Patent number: 6427732
    Abstract: A filler unit for automatically topping up a battery cell (14) includes a float vessel (16) for containing the liquid to be dispensed and a float valve assembly (34) for establishing a predetermined substantially constant head of liquid in the vessel (16). A baffle plate (40A) in the vessel (16) is spaced sufficiently close to a wall of the vessel (16) to define a capillary passage between the wall and the baffle plate (40A), with at least that surface of the baffle plate (40A) which defines the capillary passage being hydrophilic. In use, the replenishment water is able to flow from the vessel (16) to the cell (14) under gravity along a flowpath until such time as the water level in the cell (14) has risen to a desired level. This creates a pressure equilibrium in the flowpath which causes the flow from the vessel (16) to the cell (14) to cease automatically.

  • Patent number: 5494084
    Abstract: A thin elongated metal tube of a diameter less than the diameter of a inlet aperture within the top of a fuel tank and opening upwardly therefrom has a closed lower end inserted within the aperture. The metal tube is supported by a radially enlarged collar on the periphery of the metal tube intermediate of its ends, having a diameter in excess of the diameter of the fuel inlet aperture. Purge gas distribution openings are provided within the lower opposite end of the metal tube to distribute purge gas interiorly of the fuel storage tank. The weight of the distribution nozzle is set to balance axially upward lift forces developed during inert gas pressurization of the tank to prevent overpressurization and rupture of the tank when the gas pressurization of the tank reaches a predetermined level less than that causing rupture of the tank.

  • Patent number: 5129432
    Abstract: A fuel dispensing nozzle assembly is disclosed for adapting a conventional gasoline pump dispensing nozzle to perform as a Stage II vapor recovery system by effectively collecting the vapors forced out the vehicle fuel tank during a refueling operation. The assembly permits the pump dispensing gun to form a seal with the rim of a vehicle's fill pipe, with operator assistance, to prevent the vapors from escaping into the environment by collecting the vapors within the nozzle assembly, and routing the vapors to a collection tank.

  • Patent number: 5058634
    Abstract: An automatic packaging machine can load light and fluffy particulate product without having it scattered over a large area. The system does this by using a plurality of inclined planes to cause said product to slide in successive small steps, as distinguished from simply dropping in a single fall. The system also tips a box and provides a vent to prevent air from being entrapped and compressed within a box as it is being filled.

  • Patent number: 5046627
    Abstract: An amplule for a liquid, removed from the ampule by a hypodermic syringe, has a neck. A conical member on one end of the hypodermic syrings is introduced into the neck of the ampule. The inside wall of the neck of the ampule is of a configuration which allows for the passage of air, but does not allow the passage of liquid in the area intended for the installation of the conical member. The shaped configuration between the socket member wall and the inside wall of the neck of the ampule is in the form of a circular closed line.

  • Patent number: 4899789
    Abstract: A metering device for liquids with a container, which has at least one elastically deformable wall section, and with a metering vessel. The container has an outlet with a withdrawal opening which, corresponding to the liquid to be measured out, is so narrow, that liquid emerges only when the deformable wall section is indented. The metering vessel can be connected detachably with the container, so that it surrounds the withdrawal opening during metering process. While the liquid is being measured out and with the container and the metering vessel in the inverted position, there is a liquid-tight connection between the metering vessel and the container. The very narrow withdrawal opening enables liquid to emerge when the derormable wall section of the container is indented, but prevents any flow of liquid after the metering process is completed and the metering vessel is removed.

  • Patent number: 4817829
    Abstract: A dispenser for flowable media, particularly pasty pharmaceutical or cosmetic products, has a drag piston guided in a reservoir and is filled through a connecting piece through the drag piston. A riser is connected to a discharge pump and a reservoir closure. Thus, the interior of the reservoir to be filled can be well sealed from the outside during filling and ensures a clean, hygienic filling and simple installation of the dispenser. The drag piston is advanced to close the ventilation openings with a slide type control and the riser and discharge pump are filled with the medium following the filling process.

  • Patent number: 4053002
    Abstract: A liquid dispenser having a liquid flow duct through which liquid may flow from a liquid source into a battery or the like. The dispenser includes a light-transmitting portion adjacent the flow duct to produce a visual indication of the surface elevation of a pool of liquid into which the liquid flows. Available light at the outer end of the light-transmitting portion passes in and through the latter to a reflective, inner end of the light-transmitting portion and is then reflected back out to provide a visual indication that the reflective end is not immersed in the pool of liquid. When the level of the pool has risen to immerse the reflective end, the available light reaching the reflective end is refracted into the liquid, and immersion is indicated by the relative absence of reflection.
