20090272766 | Docking station for a liquid container including a liquid dispenser - A docking station for use with a liquid container which supports the container in a convenient fixed location. The docking station is designed to accept a liquid container having a predetermined height and diameter. The docking station includes a cam operated actuator which is movable between an upper “open” position to a lower “closed” position. When the actuator is moved to its lower closed position, the actuator opens a valve in the liquid container to permit liquid to be drawn from the container. When the actuator is in its upper position, the valve in the container is closed. A manually controlled dispenser is mounted on the upper end of the docking station which is in communication with a source of water under pressure and the liquid being drawn from the container so as to mix the same and to dispense the same. | 11-05-2009 |
20100212753 | Hand-held dispenser - A hand-held dispenser for precisely controlling the flow rate of water therethrough and for injecting a liquid chemical into the water passing through the apparatus. | 08-26-2010 |
20100213215 | Dispensing system including an improved throat plug assembly - A dispensing system for use on a liquid container such as a bottle or the like for dispensing the liquid contents from the bottle. The outlet opening of the container is closed by the improved throat plug assembly of this invention having a valve positioned therein which is open when the container is mounted in a dispensing fixture which is closed when the container is not mounted on the dispensing system. A plastic spring yieldably urges the valve to its closed position. In the preferred embodiment, a retainer and plastic spring are of one-piece molded construction. The throat plug assembly also includes a specifically shaped valve which is opened slightly when the container is being stored or transported to vent vapor pressure from within the container should the same be necessary. | 08-26-2010 |
20100213220 | Closed loop dispensing system including an improved throat plug assembly - A closed loop dispensing system for use on a liquid container such as a bottle or the like for dispensing the liquid contents from the bottle. The outlet opening of the bottle is closed by a throat plug assembly having a spring-loaded valve comprised of a plastic material positioned therein which is open when the container cap is mounted on the container, but which automatically closes when the cap is removed from the container. An inlet opening is provided in the container insert so that liquid may be drawn therethrough. A closure cap is mounted on the bottle and has a dispensing tube extending therefrom for dispensing liquid from the container to a mixing machine or the like. A check valve is associated with the cap for preventing backflow from the dispensing tube to the container and for permitting liquid flow from the container to the dispensing tube in response to suction being applied to the dispensing tube. A precise discharge metering orifice is provided in the valve body as a substitution for proportioners which are normally located downstream of the dispensing system. A valve permits ambient air to enter the interior of the container as liquid is drawn therefrom. The valve prevents the flow of liquid therethrough. The throat plug assembly is comprised of a recyclable plastic material. | 08-26-2010 |
20100213280 | Hand-held dispenser - A hand-held dispenser for precisely controlling the flow rate of water therethrough and for precisely injecting a liquid chemical into the water passing through the apparatus. The dispenser is also capable of dispensing a water-only rinse spray. | 08-26-2010 |
20100258593 | Closed loop dispensing system with mechanical venting means - A closed loop dispensing system including a mechanical venting assembly which ensures that sufficient air may enter the interior of the container as liquid is being drawn from the container. The mechanical venting assembly of this invention ensures that the vent openings associated therewith will not become plugged with debris. | 10-14-2010 |
20120061425 | DISPENSING AND/OR DOSING SYSTEM INCLUDING AN IMPROVED THROAT PLUG ASSEMBLY - A dosing and/or dispensing system for use with a liquid container such as a bottle or the like for dosing and/or dispensing liquid contents from the bottle. The system includes an improved venting means to ensure that the liquid being dosed or dispensed properly and accurately drains. A novel throat plug assembly is provided for insertion into the throat of the bottle. The throat plug assembly is comprised entirely of a recyclable plastic material. | 03-15-2012 |
20130291955 | HAND-HELD DISPENSER - A hand-held dispenser for precisely controlling the flow rate of water therethrough and for injecting a liquid chemical into the water passing through the dispenser. The dispenser includes a slide valve for changing the flow rate of the liquid chemical water therethrough. The slide valve may also be positioned so that only rinse water is discharged from the dispenser. | 11-07-2013 |
20130292422 | HAND PUMP - A hand pump which is threadably mounted on the throat of a liquid container with the throat having a throat plug assembly mounted therein. The pump includes a lower housing having an upper housing movably embracing the lower housing. The upper housing is selectively movable between a normal extended position to a compressed position relative to the lower housing. When the upper housing is moved from its extended position to its compressed position, a piston and piston rod assembly pumps liquid from the lower housing outwardly from the upper housing. | 11-07-2013 |
20130292424 | SCREW-ON THROAT PLUG ASSEMBLY - A screw-on throat plug assembly for use in a closed loop dispensing system. The throat plug assembly also includes a mechanical venting assembly which ensures that sufficient air may enter the interior of the container as liquid is being drawn from the container. The mechanical venting assembly of this invention ensures that the vent openings associated therewith will not become plugged with debris. | 11-07-2013 |
20140096828 | APPARATUS FOR RINSING CHEMICAL CONTAINERS - An apparatus for rinsing inverted chemical containers includes two main assemblies, namely a gravity flow valve assembly and a rinse adapter assembly. The gravity flow assembly is inserted into the throat of the container. The rinse adapter assembly is detachably secured to the throat of the inverted container. When the rinse adapter assembly is attached to the throat of the container, the rinse tube of the rinse adapter assembly extends upwardly through the gravity flow valve assembly and into the interior of the container. Rinsing fluid, such as water, is supplied to the rinse tube which sprays the rinsing fluid onto the interior of the container to rinse the chemical residue from the interior of the container. The apparatus may also be used to dilute the liquid chemical in the container so that the diluted chemical will more freely drain from the container. | 04-10-2014 |
20140103069 | WALL MOUNTED DISPENSER - A wall mounted dispenser for dispensing a mixture of water and liquid chemicals which may be used as a separate dispenser or in combination with other like dispensers.
