An automatic extraction device and connector for perfume decanting are disclosed. In this automatic extraction device, the front end of the piston cylinder is formed with a nozzle. The piston extends into the cavity of the piston cylinder. A press piece is mounted at the rear end of the piston rod and extends to the outside of the piston cylinder. A liner is fixedly provided inside the piston cylinder. The front end of the piston rod passes through the liner and is fixedly connected with the piston. The space between the liner and the nozzle inside the piston cylinder forms the compression space of the piston. The thrust produced by the compression spring on the piston rod drives the piston to have a tendency to move away from the nozzle.

A device for separating beverage capsules, in particular coffee, comprises a base unit (10) and a pusher (22). The base unit (10) has a face with an opening (16) for receiving a used capsule, and the pusher (22) comprises a projection sized to fit within the opening (16), which has a stepped profile. In use, the pusher (22) inverts the capsule. The stepped profile significantly reduces the force required to invert the capsule enabling larger or multiple capsules to be inverted.

A dispensing apparatus for a flowable component includes a storage container having a storage chamber for the reception of the component, a filling opening and a dispensing opening. A piston is displaceably arranged within the storage container in the direction of an expulsion direction. Moreover, dispensing apparatus includes an actuation element by which the piston can be displaced stepwise in the direction of the dispensing opening. After release of the actuation element actuation element is displaced from a final position into a starting position by a spring.

A fluid dispenser device comprising: a reservoir (10) containing at least two doses of fluid; a dispenser member (20), such as a piston, that is mounted to slide in said reservoir (10) so as to dispense the fluid; a dispenser head (30) that is provided with a dispenser orifice (31), said head being movable relative to said reservoir (10) so as to move said actuator member (20) in said reservoir (10) and thus dispense the fluid through said dispenser orifice (31); said dispenser head (30) including at least two viewing windows (35, 36), said device including an indicator (40) that is movable together with said reservoir (10), said indicator (40) co-operating with a respective viewing window (35, 36) after each actuation of the device.

Embodiments of the invention relate to dosing dispensers and in particular to dosing dispensers that may be operated using one hand by raising and filling a dosing chamber followed by lowering and dispersing a product from the dosing chamber and wherein the dose may be selected or adjusted and a user may visually confirm that the proper dose is being loaded and delivered by the dispenser.

A receiving structure providing real-time information as to the materials constituting its contents includes a box body, a first side plate, and a second side plate. The box body, the first side plate, and the second side plate forming a receiving space, and the receiving space receives materials. A discharge port is formed between the second side plate and the first side plate, the discharge port is in communication with the receiving space, and the discharge port is configured to take out the material. A material checking unit is provided on the first side plate, the material checking unit detects and enables real time identification of the materials in the receiving structure.

A system for picking items from a containerised storage system is described. The items are stored in storage bins in stacks within a framework comprising a grid system disposed above the stacks of bins. Robotic devices are disposed on the grid, the devices acting so as to pick containers from the stacks of bins. The storage system is provided with at least one picking device for picking items from bins and depositing them directly in delivery containers DT.

A dispensing container with a cutter, in which a storage part can be used as a refill. A dispensing container 100 with a cutter 54 includes a storage part 1, a helical tube 2, a rotating lid 5, and a movable plate 3. The storage part 1 has a tubular shape with an opening at a top and is configured to contain a solid material. The helical tube 2 has a helical groove on an outer peripheral surface thereof, and is configured to be attached to a bottom surface of the storage part. The rotating lid 5 is disposed to be horizontally rotatable and includes a top plate 51 and a peripheral wall 52 that is a side surface. The top plate 51 is provided with the cutter 54 on an underside thereof and has an outlet 53. The cutter 54 is configured to cut the solid material into a thin piece, and the outlet 53 is configured to discharge the cut thin piece of the solid material. The movable plate 3 has a hole into which the helical tube is fitted, and is configured to be raised within the storage part in conjunction with rotation of the rotating lid. The top plate 51 of the rotating lid has a fitting projection 55 that extends downward to be inserted into an upper end of the helical tube 2 so as to cause the helical tube 2 to rotate together with the rotating lid.
