20080283145 | Standalone ice dispenser - A standalone ice dispenser delivers ice in either bagged form or bulk form to a user. The device uses a cone-shaped drum with an upwardly oriented mount that receives and stores the ice which ice is gravitationally delivered to the drum from an ice maker. When ice is to be dispensed, a motor rotates the drum such that a fin within the drum cause ice therein to advance toward and eventually out of the mouth of the drum into either a bagging system or directly out of the device via a chute. Weight sensors attached to the drum determine whether the drum is relatively empty or relatively full and control operation of the ice maker as a result and/or a proximity sensor measures the volume of ice in the drum and controls the operation of the ice maker. | 11-20-2008 |
20090000692 | Device for Filling of a Container of Collapsible Type - A device for filling a container with a liquid product, the container having a compartment, whose volume is dependent on the relative position of the walls and which communicates with the surroundings via a filling duct. The device comprises a filling tube with an end portion, which is insertable into the filling duct for supplying a product to the compartment through said filling tube. The device includes a clamp which is adapted to grasp the end portion and the filling duct when the end portion is inserted into the filling duct to provide a seal. The clamp has gripping surfaces which are arranged to cooperate with the circumferential surface of the end portion when the clamp grasps the filling duct and the end portion provides the seal. Each gripping surface has opposite edge portions, a bead being arranged in each edge portion. The end portion has a circumferential surface which is formed of two opposite partial surfaces which each comprise a convexly curved central portion and a concavely curved side portion arranged on each side of the central portion, the partial surfaces being arranged with the convexly curved central portions facing away from each other, the side portions of the opposite partial surfaces on the respective sides of the central portions connecting to each other in a converging manner, and each concavely curved side portion forming a recess in the neighbouring concavely curved central portion. | 01-01-2009 |
20090084463 | Tube Holder for a Tube Filling Machine - A tube holder for a tube filling machine comprises a cup-shaped housing having a tube receptacle that opens towards the top and into which one end area of a tube can be inserted. At least one vertical groove is formed in the area of the inner wall of the tube receptacle into which a clamping element is inserted, wherein the clamping element can be radially displaced substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal central axis of the tube receptacle and is pivotably disposed about a pivot axis that extends substantially tangentially relative to the inner wall of the tube receptacle. A clamping force that acts radially from the outside onto the inserted tube can be applied by the clamping element under the action of at least one spring element, wherein the clamping element has a first upper section which is disposed on the side of the pivot axis facing the opening of the tube receptacle above the pivot axis, and a lower second section which is disposed on the side of the pivot axis facing away from the opening of the tube receptacle below the pivot axis. The pivot axis is thereby formed on a pivot bearing which permits radial displacement of the pivot axis, and at least one first spring element acts on the upper first section of the clamping element and at least one second spring element acts on the lower second section of the clamping element. | 04-02-2009 |
20090308491 | Automatic Built-in Air Nozzle - An automatic air nozzle includes a valve adapted to engage with a peripheral side face defining an air path inside an inflatable object.

20100032054 | FUEL TANK OF MOTOR VEHICLE - The fuel tank has an indentation inside which its inlet is positioned. An elastic fuel pipe is provided so that a bottom end of the fuel pipe is fixedly attached to the inlet of the fuel tank. Due to its elasticity, the fuel pipe could easily have its top end aligned with and attached to a fuel inlet of the motor vehicle. A cap is then plugged into the fuel pipe's top end to seal the fuel tank. | 02-11-2010 |
20100065151 | BALLOON INFLATOR - A balloon inflator includes a housing, a motor within the housing, and a fan operable by the motor to drive air to an inflation nozzle. The inflation nozzle provides an outlet. A nozzle adaptor is configured to fit over the outlet of the inflation nozzle and provide an alternate outlet. A nozzle receipt is provided by the housing to selectively receive the nozzle adaptor and a switch is provided at the nozzle receipt. The nozzle adaptor is selectively received at the nozzle receipt so as to trigger the switch, and is selectively removed from the nozzle receipt so as to not trigger the switch. The switch controls the power supplied to the motor, such that different motor operating parameters are realized when the switch is triggered and when the switch is not triggered. In a particular embodiment, the nozzle adaptor includes vent channels that exhaust a portion of the air to the atmosphere when a balloon is fitted over the alternate outlet to receive air driven through the nozzle and the nozzle adaptor. | 03-18-2010 |

The device may also be constructed in a collapsible manner for ease of transportation. | 01-20-2011 |
20110139300 | REFUELLING CONTAINER FOR FUELCELL, METHOD FOR REFUELLING, AND HOLDER FOR REFUELLING CONTAINER - In, for example, a direct methanol type fuelcell, fuel is allowed to be injected little by little when the fuel is injected and supplied from the outside to a fuel receiving part reduced in the amount of remaining fuel on the fuelcell body side and an electromotive part can be prevented from being damaged by keeping the pressure in the fuel receiving part at a fixed level or less when the fuel is injected. Specifically, when a fuel CL filled in a refuelling container C is injected into a fuel receiving part T in several lots, a fuel injecting operation is repeated in which the volume of the refuelling container C is shrunk and reduced to supply the fuel into the fuel receiving part T in a proper amount and then the original volume of the refuelling container is restored to thereby absorb the atmospheric gas in the fuel receiving part T, which makes it possible to inject fuel continuously without any hindrance to the injection of the fuel. | 06-16-2011 |
