Abstract: A one-way valve (22) positioned between the nozzle 
(14) and container of a disposable douche, which is opened 
and closed by axial movement of the nozzle (14) relative to 
the container, permits discharge of the douche contents (24) 
without permitting backflow. The neck (18) of the container 
opening has an intermediate cap (16) with axial discharge 
holes (40) and a flexible valve disk (22) overlying such 
holes (40) all within the bore (54) of the base (20) of the 
nozzle (14). In the closed position, the inner shoulder 
(56) of the nozzle base (20) sits against the flexible valve 
disk (22) preventing discharge of the contents (24) through 
the discharge openings (40) of the intermediate cap (16). 
With the axial displacement of the nozzle (14) away from the 
main body of the container, the valve disk (22), freed of 
the internal restraining shoulders (56) of the nozzle base 
(20), can flex to permit flow of the contents (24) of the 
container into the nozzle (14). The nozzle base's bore (54) 
and the intermediate container cap (16) have slidable 
inner fitting surfaces to prevent fluid discharge 
therebetween, such that all fluid is discharged out of

Title: Safety device for a cabinet with an access opening
IPC: F16P3/10
Filed: 1989-11-15
Abstract: A cabinet (1) comprises access openings, which are displaceable, for example, with the aid of sliding roller doors (3, 5), for access to the interior of the cabinet (1). In the interior of the cabinet (1) there are electric motor driven parts, for example for setting down index card boxes (9) which are moved past the access opening (7) in a paternoster-type movement. It is guaranteed by a safety device that the movement only takes place with the coverings (3, 5) closed. The safety device provides for the coverings (3, 5) each to be fitted with an electric circuit section (21a, 21b) which are removed from a safety loop (17, 19) when the coverings (3, 5) are opened. By this means, a stoppage of the moved parts (9) is inevitably brought about. The electric circuit sections (21a, 21b) have contact parts (23a, 23b) which can be brought into engagement in corresponding contact elements (15a, 15b) which are attached to the housing (1). The cabinet (1) offers the advantage that it is largely protected against manipulations on the safety device since the removal of a complete electric circuit section (21a, 21b) cannot be carried out using simple measures, such as jamming a contact by means of a match, paperclip or the like. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus and method for in-place cleaning and priming of a nozzle assembly
IPC: B08B3/02
Filed: 1989-12-13
Abstract: An apparatus and method for in-place cleaning and 
priming of a nozzle assembly which in normal operation 
receives from a reservoir and discharges to a work area a 
fluid such as an adhesive material which tends to leave behind 
an accumulation of undesired residue. Initially, cleaning 
fluid from a first tank (10) is pumped through the nozzle (86) 
to clear the adhesive residue. Secondly, rinsing fluid from a 
second tank (34) is pumped through the nozzle (86) to remove 
any remaining cleaning fluid. Finally, rinsing fluid is 
pumped through an eductor assembly which creates a suction 
used to draw adhesive material from a reservoir (94) through 
the nozzle (86) to prime it ready for reuse. A control system 
operates valves (12,36,46,88) to selectively pass cleaning or 
rinsing fluid or adhesive through the nozzle. A waste fluid 
pipe (112,110) collects fluid from the nozzle (86) for 
transfer to a waste tank (54) and also applies the suction 
used to prime the nozzle (86).
