DISPENSING NOZZLE
The subject of the invention is a dispensing nozzle for dispensing a fluid into a tank of a motor vehicle. The dispensing nozzle comprises the following features: the dispensing nozzle comprises a channel (30) for passing through the fluid, wherein a main valve (5) is arranged in the channel (30), said main valve being movable between a closed position and an open position for controlling a fluid flow, the dispensing nozzle comprises a first maximum volumetric flow rate and a second maximum volumetric flow rate, wherein the second maximum volumetric flow rate is greater than the first,
According to the invention it is provided that the dispensing nozzle comprises an adjustable flow limiter (22) which is arranged downstream of the main valve (5) and which is configured to limit the fluid flow selectively to the first or second maximum volumetric flow rate. The dispensing nozzle also comprises an actuating device (20, 21) which is configured for interaction with a signal element (29) which is assigned to the tank of the motor vehicle and for the selective adjustment of the flow limiter (22) to the first or the second maximum volumetric flow rate. By the provision of a flow limiter which is adjustable due to an interaction with the signal element, a rapid and reliable filling of different-sized containers containing liquid is ensured in a structurally simple manner.
Inoculant direct injection system
A liquid direct injection assembly includes a direct injection supply kit to mix liquid components into a mixture and deliver the mixture to a treatment device. The supply kit includes one or more liquid component containers that each include an elongated flexible bladder and a discharge nozzle to discharge a corresponding liquid component from the bladder. The supply kit also includes one or more metering bodies each defining a metering orifice to control a flow rate of the corresponding liquid component from the bladder. The liquid direct injection assembly also includes a container tray configured to removably support a liquid component container.

INLET FOR TRANSFERRING PROPPANT
An apparatus, system, and method for receiving proppant into a storage container is disclosed. In certain embodiments, an apparatus for receiving proppant into a storage container may comprise a housing that further comprises a first planar surface having an outlet port and a second planar surface substantially perpendicular to the first planar surface, the second planar surface having a tubular slot formed therein. In certain embodiments, the apparatus comprises a diverter plate coupled to the housing and adjacent the outlet port, the diverter plate being oriented at an acute angle to the first planar surface of the housing.
INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINER, VALVE AND CONNECTOR SYSTEM
An intermediate bulk container, valve and connector system is provided that includes a split nut connector. The split nut connector is rotatably mounted on a valve adapter plate which connects with the valve, and is internally threaded for engagement with external threads on the intermediate bulk container outlet. An O-ring seal is aligned and positioned between the adaptor plate inlet and intermediate bulk container outlet by positioning surfaces to provide compression and sealing between the component engaging surfaces, and sealing contact is provided between corresponding surfaces of the components.
TRANSFER ASSEMBLY FOR ATTACHMENT TO A FRONT PORTION OF AN AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE AND A METHOD OF USE
A transfer assembly for attachment to a front portion of an agricultural vehicle, i.e. forage harvester, and a method of use are disclosed. The transfer assembly includes a frame, a pump and an air compressor, along with appropriate drive mechanisms. The agricultural vehicle has an engine and drive mechanisms including a first driven pulley. The pump is connected to the first driven pulley through second and third driven pulleys. The pump is secured to the frame and has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A transfer pipe routes the fluid or manure away from the pump and has a coupling connected to its second end. The coupling enables a flexible hose to be attached to it so that the fluid or manure can be directed to another location, such as onto a field. The transfer assembly also includes a control mechanism for operating the pump, air compressor, etc.

PRESSURIZED LIQUID FILL GUN APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USE
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a fill gun apparatus for interconnection of a pump truck and a pressurized liquid delivery system. The fill gun apparatus can be easily attached and detached from an inlet port to deliver a pressurized fluid, for improved delivery, increased efficiency, increased safety, and decreased waste.
Self-Sealing Bag
An improved biasing spring mechanism for the valve poppet of the self-sealing valve disposed in the bag fitment of a beverage dispensing collapsible bag. A singular integrally formed spring mechanism and valve poppet replaces the two-piece embodiment previously employed for the self-sealing valve. A u-shaped channel on the poppet receives the valve seat in the coupling to seal off the flow of liquid when the poppet is pushed into the closed position. A plurality of petaloid segments connect the poppet to a circumferential ring surrounding the petaloid segments and provide a spring force to the poppet to move the poppet between the open and closed positions.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REMOVING A LIQUID FROM A CONTAINER HAVING A DEPRESSIBLE VALVE
Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a device for removing a liquid from a container having a depressible valve. The device may include a reservoir for holding the liquid removed from the container. A conduit of the device may include a first end and a second end. The first end may be fluidly coupled to the reservoir while the second end may be coupled to the Depressing the conduit may actuate the depressible valve of the container to provide fluid communication of the liquid from the container, through the conduit, and into the reservoir.
