Title: Apparatus for filling and closing valve bags
Inventor: COMBRINK ALOIS
IPC: B65B1/18
Filed: 1985-12-16
Abstract: In a bag filling machine the filling connection 1 is arranged on a bag chair 2 which is pivotable about a horizontal axis. After the bag has been filled, the bag chair 2 and consequently also the bag 6 are pivoted into an intermediate position with the filling connection (1) forming a guide means for the valve of the valve bag to ensure correct positioning of the valve (Fig. 4). In a second step, with the filling connection 1 stationary, the bag 6 is subjected to further tipping movement during which the bag is removed from the connection 1 and during which can be assumed that no change in the outside contour of the bat will be caused by a movement of the filling material. While the filling connection 1 and the bag chair are being moved back into the filling position (Fig. 1), the bag is then moved into a valve closing station. In another embodiment (Figs. 7-9), a vertical filling connection is moved down after filling with pivotal bag support member (9) to position the bag in an inclined orientation in shell member (24) in a predetermined position for transport to a valve closure station. <IMAGE>

Title: Improved diaphragm milk pump
Inventor: SEABORNE THOMAS LESLIE
IPC: F04B53/10
Filed: 1987-06-01
Abstract: A diaphragm pump (10) for milk in which the diaphragm (34) operates in a chamber (32) attached to an intermediate chamber (30) which is connected to a source of milk. The diaphragm (34) does not transverse the intermediate chamber (30) and enables unobstructed free loading of the intermediate chamber with milk. This assists in loading the pump. Various forms of inlet and outlet valve are described. In the embodiment shown the inlet comprises a flap 39, lifted by vacuum applied to chamber 50 above diaphragm 48 simultaneously with the vacuum applied to chamber 35 beneath diaphragm 34, thus synchronising the supply of fluid with the demand for it. Other forms include a gate valve lifted by a piston which is itself raised by vacuum and linked poppet inlet and outlet valves driven by a diaphragm similar to that of Fig. 2. <IMAGE>

Title: Pressurised containers with valves
Inventor: JAEGER NTHONY ROBIN
IPC: F17C13/04
Filed: 1989-01-30
Abstract: A container (10) for pressurised fluid, e.g. carbon dioxide, is fitted with a self-sealing valve (11) comprising a valve body (12), a valve stem (13) mounted in the valve body for axial movement relative thereto, and a valve member (14) connected to the inner end of the valve stem. A first 'O' ring seal (21) creates a seal between the valve stem and the valve body and a second 'O' ring seal (25) creates a seal between the valve member and the valve body under the urging force of pressurised fluid in the container. The valve stem has an axially extending discharge passage (19) which communicates with the outside of the valve stem at a position intermediate the seals (21 and 25) and a valve operating member (33) is threadably connected to the valve body so that when it is turned in an appropriate direction the operating member engages with an abutment (37) on the valve stem to move the valve stem and valve member against the urging force of the pressurised fluid to break the seal between the valve member and the valve body and so allow fluid within the container to pass through the discharge passage in the valve stem. The valve member is equipped with a pressure relief valve which includes a burstable metal disc (29).
