Patent number: 10099838Abstract: A fluid cartridge system and method of removing a closure assembly from a first cartridge and a second cartridge includes a first cartridge body and a second cartridge body. A neck projects from the first cartridge body with a first outlet of the first cartridge and a second outlet of the second cartridge. A first closure having a first plug is received within the first outlet and includes a first closure coupling element. In addition, a second closure having a second plug is received within the second outlet and includes a second closure coupling element. The first closure coupling element is configured to interlock with the second closure coupling element such that securing the first cartridge body against the second cartridge body also connects the first closure to the second closure. As such, the first and second closures form the closure assembly for being collectively removed by an operator.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventors: Crispin B.

Patent number: 10095318Abstract: A method of preparing a collapsible bag includes providing the bag in a collapsed configuration and filling it. The bag has a spout connected to a flexible mounting. A portion of the mounting is flat within the bag in the same plane as the spout and can form an angle between 0 and 180 degrees with the spout's plane. The mounting includes a peripheral ring in the spout having flexible legs. The legs permit the evacuation members to be displaced relative to the ring to accommodate a service line connector. The evacuation members can be helical channels, are integral with the mounting, and are as flat as possible within the bag upon manufacture. Each member is adjustable to alternative positions where it is oriented radially, perpendicularly, or at an angle between relative to the plane of the ring, without the flexing of the flexible legs or the evacuation members.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: LIQUI-BOX CORPORATIONInventor: James W.
