A device for filling or discharging a liquid includes an elongated body, a coaxial closure sleeve mounted axially on the main sleeve, wherein the main sleeve is slidable relative to the closure sleeve and the body and comprises an outlet end on its side remote from the body and an inlet end on the side closer to the body, facing the liquid inlet, at the inlet side the main sleeve has lateral surface outflow openings, a push-button for actuating the liquid outflow located at the outflow end of the device, located on the main sleeve at its outlet end side, which the push-button is non-rotatably mounted thereon, and between the main sleeve and the closure sleeve a sealing diaphragm, as well as the helical spring of the push-button are arranged. The liquid flows by axially displacing the push-button member.

A method for transferring volatile liquid from a refueling tank to the fuel tank of an internal combustion device including the steps of providing a volatile liquid refueling apparatus, having a probe including an outer collar and a receiver including a receiving collar, where the outer collar and the receiving collar are configured to join to create a vapor-tight enclosure, installing the receiver in the fuel tank of an internal combustion device, installing the probe in the refueling tank, inserting the probe into the receiver, engaging the receiving collar and the probe outer collar to create a vapor-tight enclosure, transferring volatile liquid from the refueling tank to the fuel tank, and disengaging the probe from the receiver, including sealing the refueling tank and the tank.

An automatic liquid injection system for use in a vehicle production line is disclosed. The automatic liquid injection system includes a robot controlling a position of a robot arm, an injection gun installed at a front end portion of the robot arm, a vision installed on one side of the injection gun and imaging an inlet provided in a vehicle, and a controller sensing a position of the inlet through the vision and controlling a position of the robot arm through the robot to fasten the injection gun to the inlet.

A tank fitting apparatus and method is provided. The tank fitting apparatus includes a bottom plate apparatus. The bottom plate apparatus includes a bottom plate having a bottom surface, a top surface, and a bottom plate passageway. The bottom plate apparatus further includes a bolt connected to the bottom plate and extending from the top surface of the bottom plate. The tank fitting apparatus further includes a valve apparatus. The valve apparatus includes a pipe and a valve integrally formed with the pipe. The valve is movable between an open valve position and a closed valve position. A top plate integrally formed on the pipe and extends outwardly from the pipe. The valve apparatus has a connected tank fitting position where the bolt of the bottom plate apparatus extends through the top plate of the valve apparatus to connect the valve apparatus with the bottom plate apparatus.

A filling adapter for a container to be filled with media, in particular for the filling of containers on assembly lines for the production of motor vehicles where the filling adapter is equipped with a hose packet, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. A filling adapter according to the disclosure achieves better fluid flow properties while reducing the overall size, production costs, and weight of the filling adapter. The filling adapter is equipped with a coaxial valve in the region of the adapter head of the filling adapter, which coaxial valve, starting from the inlet cross section, is initially provided with a flow contour extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the valve, which in the further flow course transitions into a flow contour extending at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the valve to the outlet cross section.

A storage box having a fill viewer created when the negative space of the box flaps are combined when the flaps are folded to close the box.

A lubricant dispensing system employing configurable shelving that aligns a lubricant dispenser's spigot directly above a fill port of a lubricant dispensing jug. The shelving system units are configurable to accommodate the available space in a garage, designed for use with lubricant bag boxes, and possesses a spill catch below the jug.

A siphon priming device that may be releasably and sealingly connected with a first fluid container and usable to cause a liquid to be transferred from the first container into a second fluid container. Using the properties of the first container one may gently squeeze the container to initiate the siphon then remove the pressure and the siphon continues. The first container may comprise a liquid fuel can and the second container may comprise a fuel tank of a motorized vehicle, e.g., boat, car, ATV, cart, plane, motorcycle, etc. In use, the siphon priming device enables simple, rapid, and safe transfer of liquid fuel from a fuel can into a motorized vehicle.

Apparatuses and methods of operating the same are described. An apparatus may include a lower compartment, a baffle, and an upper compartment. The lower compartment may form a lower cavity to hold a liquid. The baffle may include a channel connecting the lower compartment to an upper compartment, where the channel provides a first passageway for liquid to pass between the lower compartment and the upper compartment. The baffle may also include a baffle passage defining an opening through a middle section of the liquid container between the lower compartment and the upper compartment. The upper compartment may form an upper cavity to hold the liquid.

The present disclosure is directed to devices for dispensing liquid, especially fuel. In one embodiment, a device for dispensing fuel includes a spout for pouring liquid fuel, an annular fitting including a chamber formed therein. A sealing surface, a stopper, and spring may be disposed within the chamber. The annular fitting may be attached to the spout. The annular fitting may be configured to mate with a portable fuel canister. The fitting may include sidewalls forming a channel for liquid fuel, an outer wall enveloping a portion of the sidewall forming a chamber proximate the liquid channel, and an atmospheric orifice formed in the outer wall. The sealing surface may be disposed proximal the orifice. The spring may be configured to bias the stopper into contact with the sealing surface such that the chamber is in selective pressure-dependent fluid communication with an atmosphere outside the device.
