The closure member includes of a member made of an elastically deformable material covering the orifice and is configured to move away under the pressure of the product in order to expose the orifice and allow the product to pass through it, and is configured to return to the closed position when the pressure is released. The closure member includes a sleeve, a first end of which is fastened to the body and a second end of which forms a free edge, said sleeve surrounds the body and is positioned over the orifice when said free edge has been turned up over the body. The body is rigid or semi-rigid.

Abstract: A shower device having a flexible, flat jet or spray disk is created, in which at least one surface zone is curved outwards and on exceeding a specific pressing in force (E) exerted thereon springs round suddenly with the curvature inwards into a space located behind it and automatically springs back to the starting position when the force is relieved. As a result of the springing or springing round, it is possible to detach lime deposits from the jet disk.

Abstract: Nozzles for filler pipes employed in packaging machines of the type which meter a certain quantity of contents, e.g. milk, into individual packages which are advanced stepwise and placed beneath the nozzle of the filler pipe. In order to avoid frothing of the contents, of the nozzle is manufactured from flexible material and includes one or more transverse rigidifying ribs which are of substantially triangular cross sectional configuration and which define two or more separate outlets. The outlets are covered by flaps which are opened by the contents when the contents are caused, with the aid of a metering pump, to flow out through the filler pipe so that the flow of contents is divided and directed towards the vertical walls of the package via which the contents flow down to the bottom of the package with a considerably reduced risk of frothing and spatter as a result.

Abstract: A fuel-injection nozzle for internal combustion engines having plurality of lip elements on a nozzle tube, the edges are adjacent to each other. The lip elements form an obtuse cone and are held together under a high pre-stressing pressure by a clamping sleeve and an end cap. Pressure build-up in the interior chamber of the nozzle tube elastically expands the lip edges, in which case gaps are created, which form flat spray streams through which fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber of the engine. When the fuel pressure in the interior chamber subsides the lip edges close to prevent any dirt from entering the slits.

Abstract: A metal spraying device of the kind in which two wires are fed along convergent guide ducts, and an electric potential is established between the wires, so that an electric arc is produced between the terminal ends of the wires. A jet of air is blown across the arc, removing metal from the ends of the wires in the form of minute droplets, the jet of air being directed against a workpiece to be sprayed with a metallic coating. The metal spraying device comprises a head made of insulating material (e.g. ceramics material), the head being provided with passages forming the guide ducts for the wires and for the jet of air. In this manner, the wires may be guided more accurately to the arcing zone, and turbulence in the jet of air may be minimized, producing an overall improvement in the quality of the spray which may be achieved.
