A dispensing appliance for liquids consists of at least one cabinet-like supply module (1) and of a cabinet-like dispensing module (2) connected to the latter. A pull-out trolley (3) can be moved out of the front side of the supply module (1) and serves for receiving a supply container (8) which can be inserted through one of the two open side faces (6). The dispensing module has a dispensing space (17) accessible from the front side. The supply module (1) has a square plan contour with an edge ...

An ionic liquid having a melting point of no more than 60.degree. C., formed by the reaction of a quaternary ammonium compound of the formula: or a mixture of two or more therof; with a halide of zinc, tin or iron, or a mixture of two or more thereof.

The present invention provides an apparatus suitable for use in the treatment of liquid 31, comprising a high voltage electric discharge device 8 with spaced apart first second electrodes 24,25. The discharge device has electrical power supply control means 13 for applying a series of high voltage pulses across said first and second electrodes 24,25 50 as to produce an extended area electrical discharge in an electric discharge zone 37 extending between said first and second electrodes. The appa...

A container for liquids of the present invention, including a container body in which at least a part of an inner surface thereof, which defines an inner space storing therein a liquid using coloring matter, such as a pigment and a dye and/or containing a particulate or fibrous or similar additive element, is formed of a curved surface having an arcuate cross-sectional shape and a transparency; and a wiper unit inserted and housed in a liquid storage portion of the container body so that the wip...

Low melting ionic compounds of the general formula (cation) (R'SO.sub.4) in which R' is a branched or linear, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or alicyclic functionalized or non-functionalized hydrocarbon chain with 3-36 carbon atoms are provided. These compounds can serve as ionic liquids, e.g. as solvents or solvent additives in chemical reactions, as extraction agents or as heat carriers. The compounds comprise a cation and anionic sulfate ester.

Compositions of matter useful as ionic liquids of the formula Z.sup.+A.sup.-, wherein Z.sup.+ is a cation selected from the group consisting of pyridinium, pyridazinium, pyrimidinium, pyrazinium, imidazolium, pyrazolium, thiazolium, oxazolium, triazolium, and phosphonium, ammonium cations with specified substituents, and A.sup.- is selected from the group consisting of the following three anions wherein R.sup.11, R.sup.12 and R.sup.13 are as specified. R.sup.11--CHF--CF.sub.2--SO.sub.3.sup.- For...

A container for liquids which takes the form of a spatial polygon having side planes of identical congruent triangles. The container consists of six triangular planes three of which have their bases against the bases of the other three and the top angle of each three meet at a point opposite to the point where the top angle of the other three meet.

A screw-on closure for bottles that initially works with an induction seal liner and provides a leak resistant reseal on the bottle after the liner is removed. The closure has a unique annular convex sealing surface that overlies the mouth of the bottle. The sealing surface and the closure body area supporting it are sufficiently massive to withstand the heat generated in an induction liner sealing process and have a geometry that promotes a line contact with the mouth of the bottle to ensure a ...

A distributor for liquids including a two-diameter (1a, 1b) base body (1) provided with the inlet (4) for the liquid in the upper portion (1a) having the bigger diameter and with several outlets (5) in the lower, compartmented portion (1b), a rotatable obturator bell (3) inferiorly resting on said lower portion through the intermediary of a doubly annular seal (20, 21) provided with radial lengths (21') and partially inlaid in respective grooves (22, 23, 23') provided in the lower edges of said ...

A valve for liquids including a valve housing (10) and a valve body (13) which is guided in the housing, and at least one releasable catch (16) which engages the valve body and holds the valve body in an open position in the valve housing until liquid starts to pass through the valve.
