A method and device for transferring viscous fluid between bottles includes an upper section for receiving and engaging a first bottle to be emptied in an inverted orientation, and a lower section having a polyhedral prism exterior profile of smaller transverse section adapted to be received and engaged in the neck of a second bottle to receive the viscous fluid. An air flow exhaust path is provided between the upper section and the second bottle. A plurality of air passages conduct displaced air from the interior of the second bottle to the exhaust path, each configured with a circular segment cross-section defined between a respective face of the polyhedral prism and a respective arcuate section of the neck of the second bottle facing and spaced from that face. The upper and lower sections are configured to engage differently sized and configured bottle necks.

A withdrawal system (1) for a container (2) and comprises an immersion pipe (4) mounted on and projecting into the container (2) as well as a withdrawal head (5) that is attachable to the immersion pipe (4) by means of a rotary connection. The withdrawal head (5) attached to the immersion pipe (4) is secured by means of a mechanical locking unit.

A device (10) for transferring a liquid from a can to a tank in a sealed manner, the device including a drawing end-piece which comprises a main sleeve designed to be connected on the neck of the can in a sealed manner, a drawing pipe which presents a first end connected on the drawing end-piece and a second end adapted to be connected on the tank in order to enable the drawing of the liquid from the can to the tank, and a rinsing pipe which presents a first end connected on the drawing end-piece and a second end adapted to be connected on a supply source of a rinsing fluid, in order to inject said rinsing fluid in the can, where the drawing end-piece includes a rinsing hose which is connected on the first end of the rinsing pipe and which is slidably mounted axially along the drawing axis in order to rinse the inner walls of the can.

A fluid transport system is provided. The fluid transport system may include a vessel closure assembly including one or more conduits, a vessel, and a container. A conduit terminus may be engaged with the conduit and received in the vessel. The conduit terminus may include a body with a head portion and an engagement portion, wherein an aperture extends therethrough. The engagement portion may be configured to engage the conduit. The head portion may taper to a tip defining a first opening to the aperture having a hyperbolic paraboloid shape.

The present invention relates to an intermediate piece (24) for connecting a liquid container (18) to a beverage dispensing outlet (10), including: a lower portion (36) for coupling to a connecting piece (28) of the liquid container; and an upper portion (34) for coupling to a valve piece (26), wherein the intermediate piece (24) is designed as a rigid component without movable parts. The invention further relates to a valve piece (26) for connecting a liquid container (18) to a beverage dispensing outlet (10), a closure system (22), and a liquid container (18).

System for recharging with viscous liquid a bottle to be recharged from a source bottle inverted above the aperture of the bottle, comprising: a liquid passage opening out through one end inside the bottle, a distinct air passage, which extends from the bottle to the bottle and putting into communication the interior of the bottle and the bottom of the bottle for the rise of air towards the latter, while liquid is transferred from the bottle to the bottle via the liquid passage, a device for restricting the air passage disposed inside the bottle above the end so as to stop, or at least slow down, the rise of liquid in the bottle, and therefore the flow of liquid, when the liquid level in the bottle reaches the restriction device.

A wiper fluid container including a fluid dispensing opening and an opening of a connecting member. The fluid dispensing opening is equipped with a connector that works with another connector in order to ensure fluid communication between those openings, where one connector can move from a first closed position of the container to a second open position thereby freeing that opening.

A conversion fitting configured to matingly engage with a conduit coupler having conduit coupler thread configured as American Standard hose coupling thread or American Standard hose coupling thread for garden hose applications and a container aperture element having container aperture element internal thread configured as bunghole thread to facilitate the transfer of fluid therebetween.

A fluid receiver fitting (FRF) for supporting aseptic fluid transfer between enclosures, as well as methods for forming the fluid receiver, is disclosed. The FRF includes a unitized seal section (226) and channel section (228) formed together by 2-shot injection molding, thereby eliminating or minimizing modes of fluid contamination where the seal section and channel section are separate members. The channel section may comprise one or more channels (286) for insertion of a needle (N) therein and a respective penetration zone (266) in a corresponding section of the seal section for the needle to penetrate and thereby extract a fluid sample from a liquid stream against which a portion of the seal section is exposed. An angled interface (288) between each channel and its corresponding penetration zone provides a liquid stream pressure concentration zone which applies pressure to close a core (C) in the seal section formed by removal of the needle.

A refill dispensing container is disclosed that includes a body portion for containing a flowable substance, a neck portion that is connected to the body portion, a lid that is connected to the neck portion and that defines a hole, a dip tube that is connected to the lid and the hole and that is positioned within the body portion. The container can also include a transfer tube and a transfer nozzle connected to the transfer tube. The transfer tube can be deployed by sliding the transfer tube out of the dip tube, extending the transfer tube, or removing the transfer nozzle from a holder connected to the body portion. When the transfer tube is deployed and pressure is applied to the body portion, the flowable substance can flow from the container into an interior of the transfer tube and can be discharged via the transfer nozzle.
