| 20090014479 | Child resistant closure for a tap - The present invention provides a tap assembly including: (1) a first wall defining a valve chamber having a top surface and a pair of opposed tracks extending axially along an inner surface of the wall, and a fluid outlet; (2) a tap handle mounted to the top surface for rotational movement of the tap handle with respect to the wall, the tap handle having a second wall defining an annular chamber supporting a set of threads; and (3) a generally tubular valve member having a first end and an opposed second end, the first end having a pair of lugs circumferentially spaced from one another, the lugs being positioned within the threads, the second end of the valve member extending into the valve chamber, the valve member is responsive to movement of the tap handle to move from a first position where the fluid outlet is sealed by the second end of the valve member to a second position where the fluid outlet is not sealed by the second end of the valve member and fluid is allowed to flow through the fluid outlet. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20110073622 | METERING AND DISPENSING CLOSURE - A metering and dispensing closure for a container wherein two rotatable disks rotate in conjunction with a stationary cap member to afford accurate measuring of a powder material and dispensing of it. The disks and the container cap afford a consistent measuring of the powder material, as well as provide a variety of drive members which can be utilized with the dispensing closure. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20110226818 | CHECK VALVE AND SHUT-OFF RESET DEVICE FOR LIQUID DELIVERY SYSTEMS - A check valve assembly which in an open position allows liquid to flow in one direction through the assembly including a moving sealing member which engages a seal to prevent liquid flow in a second opposite direction. The sealing member may be moved into engagement with the seal by rotation of a stem with an eccentric to block flow in both directions. A check valve and shut-off device assembly which in an open position allows liquid to flow in one direction through the assembly until gas or foam is mixed with the liquid. The shut-off device includes a sealing member which engages a seal to block flow through the assembly when foam or gas is present in the liquid. The check valve includes a sealing member which can reset the shut-off device. The check valve sealing member also engages the same sealing member to prevent any flow through the assembly in a closed position. In an open position, the check valve sealing member may engage the seal to prevent reverse flow of liquid through the assembly. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20140299635 | Dispensers - An inline dispersal valve that can be used with or without a base. One embodiment includes a rotatable member that is rotatable from a fluid stream obstructing condition to an out-of-the-way condition to prevent fluid diversion into the dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes a lever handle for quickly setting the amount of fluid being diverted into the inline dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes an indicator that can be viewed from a position above the inline dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes a cap that can be secured or removed without the aid of tools. Another embodiment includes a clip that allows one to disassemble the inline dispersal valve for servicing. Another embodiment includes a dispensing valve that can be reversed and still properly divert fluid into a dispersant chamber. Another embodiment includes an inline dispersal valve with a bleed valve positioned to allow one to bring the air volume in the dispersant chamber to the proper level. | 10-09-2014 |
| 20220135392 | VACUUM BREAK TWIST CAP DISPENSER ASSEMBLIES - An example dispenser assembly system having an inlet connection, an outlet connection, a valve body, a plunger, and a twist cap, the dispenser assembly system configured to provide a connection between a liquid container and a dispensing system inlet connection and further provide the ability of an operator to control the flow between the liquid supply source and the dispensing system inlet through the rotation of the twist cap. | 05-05-2022 |

| 222552000 | Screw plug or disc | 2 |
| 20140312077 | PLUG ASSEMBLY FOR BEVERAGE CONTAINER - Provided is a plug assembly for a beverage container, exhibiting a favorable pourability without hindering a compactness. The assembly includes: an outer plug fitted into an upper opening of a container body and having an outflow passage therein; and an inner plug fitted into an upper opening section of the outer plug. Provided on the inner circumferential surface of the outer plug is a female screw having a thread continuous in the radial direction and used to attach the inner plug. Provided on the outer circumferential surface of the inner plug is a male screw corresponding to the female screw. Flow passages are formed by vertically cutting out at least a part of the male screw, and provided on the upper regions of the flow passages are control walls linearly slanting upward and outward. A stable screwed state can be consistently maintained regardless of the locations of the flow passages. | 10-23-2014 |
| 20160084386 | NON-REMOVABLE DISCHARGE DEVICE - A manual valve includes a knob, a stem, a stopper, and a male thread. The stem is extended from the knob. The stopper is extended from the stem. The male thread is extended from the stopper. The stem is smaller than the stopper in outer diameter. The stem is configured to be installed with a clip, which is a separate component from the manual valve. The stopper is configured to make contact with the clip in the axial direction and to be regulated movement in the axial direction when an outer periphery of the stem is installed with the clip and circumferentially surrounded with the clip. | 03-24-2016 |

| 20110297705 | Reclosable Dispensing Container Cap For Flowable Material Containers - A reclosable dispensing container cap for dispensing flowable material from a container is disclosed. An inner cap is provided which defines a passageway adapted to be placed in fluid communication with a container nozzle. The inner cap defines a first aperture in fluid communication between the passageway and an exterior of the inner cap. An outer cap is provided to surround the inner cap such that the outer cap is slidably rotatable in relation to the inner cap between at least a first position and a second position. The outer cap defines a second aperture disposed along the outer cap such that the second aperture is in substantial registration with the first aperture when the outer cap is rotated to the first position and out of registration with the first aperture when the outer cap is rotated to the second position. | 12-08-2011 |
| 222554000 | Plug | 2 |
| 20140131399 | SELECTIVE OPERATION VALVE FOR A RECIPIENT FOR BIOPHARMACEUTICAL USE - The valve includes a female part having a closed, transverse, proximal end wall, and a tubular wall integral with a flange part, a lateral opening being formed on the proximal section of the tubular wall, a male part having a tubular wall forming, on the proximal side, a closing/opening part having an open, transverse, proximal end; the closing/opening part has an external shape and an external dimension that fit the internal shape and internal dimension of the proximal receiving part of the female part. The sealing elements include three ring seals separated from one another in an axial direction, supported by the upper surface of the tubular wall of the male part and engaging with the female part, a proximal seal to the fluid product, a distal seal to external contaminants, and an intermediate seal to the fluid product and to external contaminants between the proximal and distal seals. | 05-15-2014 |
