A module for dispensing a powder is disclosed. The module has a channel having an entry port, a hopper coupled to the entry port and configured to receive the powder, and a piston partially disposed within the channel and configured to reciprocate within the channel. The piston has a retracted position configured to allow the powder to move from the hopper through the entry port into the channel.

The present invention relates to a dispensing apparatus for dosing flowable media, which comprises at least one housing, at least one storage container exchangeably arranged in the housing having at least one pump apparatus and at least one actuating apparatus, the pump apparatus being arranged on the upper side or underside of the storage container and consisting of at least one pump unit and one outlet element. At least one outlet pipe is provided on the housing for at least partially receiving the outlet element of the pump apparatus (4), the actuating apparatus consisting of at least one via an actuating element, by means of which the pump apparatus can be driven, such that the flowable media can be dosed when flowing out of the outlet pipe.

A measured fluid dispenser for dispensing fluid from a storage container includes a measurement chamber, a fluid flow passage fluidly connecting the measurement chamber with the storage container, and a valve that is movable between an open position in which the fluid flow passage is opened to permit fluid flow from the storage chamber to the measurement chamber, and a closed position in which the fluid flow passage is closed to prevent fluid flow between the measurement chamber and the storage chamber. The measurement chamber may be adjustable to vary a fillable volume of the measurement chamber to thereby preselect an amount of fluid to be dispensed. The valve may be a rotating valve including first and second valve parts which may form a divider of the dispenser that separates the measurement chamber from the storage container.

A display device (3) on a liquid dispenser (1), the display device having at least one display element (4) and a drive device (5) for moving the display element (4) between an initial position and a display position. The drive device (5) is provided with an interface (6), via which the drive device (5) can be connected to a dispensing device (2) of the liquid dispenser (1) such that the drive device (5) is automatically activated by the actuation of the dispensing device (2) of the liquid dispenser (1).

A fixture for dispensing a powder is disclosed. The fixture has a base and a beam with a first end, a second end, and a fulcrum disposed between the first and second ends and coupled to the base. The fixture also has a load transfer beam having a first end and a second end that is fixedly coupled to the base. A force sensor is coupled to the load transfer beam. The beam can rotate about the fulcrum with respect to the base and the second end of the beam makes a point contact with the first end of the load transfer beam.

An apparatus and a method to cover the need for drying and care of feet, that aims to have a dryer that includes an electric motor that drives the air together with a resistance that provides heat for optimal drying and in the shortest possible time. In turn, it has a concave section in the lower part of the device that deflects the air blown to the lower part of the feet. Similarly, it contains a foot powder dispenser that provides the precise amount of foot powder, and that at the bottom there is a compact fabric that removes excess water from the feet a padded fabric that helps disperse the powder on the feet, allowing the covering of all areas of the fingers. All its parameters can be modified manually or automatically.

A flow control system (1) for filling a bag (100) with a granular product, comprising an acceleration conduit (2) with a metering side (4) where there is arranged a metering device (6) and a filling side (10) for the bag (100). A control device (14) with movable control blades (16) and a first sensor (S1) is provided at an intermediate point (22) of the conduit (2). A second sensor (S2) is provided on the filling side (10). The control device (14) and sensors (S1, S2) are functionally associated with one another such that the blades (16) of said control device (14) move among one position of said plurality of positions depending on if said first and second sensors (S1, S2) detect an accumulation of granular product on said filling side (10) which may delay the filling of said bag (100). The invention also relates to a machine and a filling method.

A fluid dosing mechanism may include a dosing vessel, a dosing cylinder, a dial, and a piston. The dosing vessel defines a fluid chamber. The fluid chamber includes an inlet and an outlet. The dosing cylinder is coupled to the dosing vessel and defines an end slidable within the fluid chamber. The dial is rotatably coupled to the dosing cylinder and configured to slide the dosing cylinder to define a dosing volume within the fluid chamber against the end of the dosing cylinder. The dosing volume is fluidically coupled to the inlet and the outlet. The piston is movable between (i) a retention position to retain fluid in the dosing volume and (ii) a discharge position to discharge fluid from the dosing volume of the fluid chamber through the outlet. A cart assembly may include a fluid dosing system including a system housing and the fluid dosing mechanism.

A system for executing a lubrication plan including a grease meter for measuring a volumetric flow of grease through the meter. The grease meter having a memory for storing a set of instructions that includes a series of prescribed grease volumes be delivered at a corresponding series of lubrication points, a memory for storing a volume of grease delivered at a particular lubrication point and is configured to communicate with the display device. A display device includes a memory for storing an image of each lubrication point in the series, each image being a photograph of the machine that has the lubrication point. The machine is configured to display each image along with the prescribed grease volume to be delivered at the corresponding lubrication point. The displayed image of a further lubrication point in the series image is triggered by the grease meter when a delivered volume is stored.
