A secure control system for delivery, dispensing and inventory of several liquid fluids (products). A stocked liquid delivery vehicle 100 provides coordinated and measured filling of liquids through a site dispensing subsystem 200 to site storage containers 302. The liquids from the storage containers are subsequently delivered under inventory control, and in measured amounts, back through the fill lines to the dispenser. The dispenser CPU records the amounts of each liquid dispensed to each use...

A dispensing apparatus for multiple fluids, and especially epoxy, polyester or other resins and hardeners, includes a base, supports for mounting separate containers of two fluids, and a manually operated metering handle for dispensing predetermined proportioned quantities of the two fluids through first and second outlets upon movement of the handle. First and second measuring assemblies, preferably pistons pivotally connected at spaced locations to the handle, receive fluids from the container...

A flow cone aerator for assisting discharge of material from containers. The aerator includes an inverted cone shaped hollow support adapted to be affixed to a wall of the container with the small diameter end of the support adjacent the interior surface of the container and the large diameter end extending into the interior of the container. An air inlet is positioned adjacent the small diameter end and is adapted to be selectively connected to a pressurized source of air exteriorly of the cont...

A liquid dispenser is formed from a first and second plurality of containers with the first containers having a smaller height than the second containers. The rear surfaces of the containers are formed from a common back plate. A shelf is provided below the first containers in a space defined by the bottom of the first containers, the shelf, the sides of the second containers, and the common back plate.

A pitcher for use in dispensing liquid from a flexible-walled, liquid containing pouch. The pitcher includes a container adapted for receiving a pouch, and a cover adapted for engagement with the container. A cylindrical sleeve is mounted on the cover in conjunction with a spout having a piercing point for piercing the wall of the pouch and a hollow cylindrical portion having an access port in a wall thereof for communication with a pouring portion of the spout. The sleeve receives the cylindric...

A leak detection device for restricting the flow of liquid fuel through the undergound fuel conduit whenever the leakage exceeds a predetermined rate of flow. The device includes a valve in the conduit that is movable between a first position to permit a first volumetric rate of flow for quickly pressurizing the conduit to a predetermined pressure, and a second position to permit a second volumetric rate of flow is that is much less that the first volumetric rate of flow. The valve includes a se...

The end closure for the nozzle orifice of a dispensing cartridge for a two-component or multi-component system has at least two parallel stoppers which project from a common base and fit into the adjacent dispensing canals in the nozzle tube of the cartridge. For securing the closure to the cartridge in an axial direction, anchoring devices are provided to engage in the cartridge, such as lugs that permit elastic deformation, fitted with hooks or holding cams. At the junction with the base, each...

An apparatus and method for dispensing a predetermined volume of liquid from a closed, liquid-containing blood collection tube is described. The apparatus includes a dual conduit providing a passageway for liquid to be dispensed from a closed blood collection tube and a gas conduit providing a passageway for gas to be introduced into the blood collection tube. Included in the apparatus is insertion of the dual conduit into the blood collection tube, turning the tube away from a vertical, upright...

A container for liquids is disclosed which comprises a cylinder which is initially open at both ends. One end of the cylinder is closed by a valve unit and the other end of the cylinder is closed by an end cap. The end cap has a line of weakening therein so that the package can be opened by tearing away part of the end cap. A piston is provided within the cylinder, there being between the valve unit and the piston a compartment of receiving the liquid to be dispensed. The valve unit includes a v...

An apportioning unit for the filling of food cans with a viscous, pasty or lumpy material, having at least one cylinder unit which is moved past a sealing plate, a lower part which is developed with a first passage hole for the filling material and is provided with an annular key arranged concentrically to the first passage hole, and an upper part which bears the sealing plate and is developed with a second passage hole for the filling material. The upper part has an annular groove which receive...
