A vending machine for dispensing selected quantities of distinct perfumes comprises a plurality of containers (70) stored within an air-cooled compartment (3), each container filled with a distinct perfume, a plurality of independent perfume supply circuits assigned to circulation of each distinct perfume comprising one container (70) containing this distinct perfume, a pump (80) assigned to pumping this perfume, the pump connected by means of a flexible pipe (81) to the container (70) and by means of a flexible pipe (82) to one of an equivalent plurality of tubular needles (83) assigned to supplying this distinct perfume. Rotatable perfume bottling assembly units (50) comprising a circumferential arrangement of tubular needles (83) are provided with associated perfume bottle filling drive units (90) adapted to handle delivery of a desired distinct perfume from a specific container (70) into a bottle (41) in a perfume purchase operation.

The current invention teaches a universal manifold for delivering chemical liquids to a storage container. The universal manifold contains a universal mating system that enables a single manifold to attach to a number of variously sized storage containers that include a number of variously sized fill apertures. This enables the use of the same universal manifold for the delivery and collection of liquid chemical to the storage container at different times.

A line coupling having a housing which has a tube connection piece and a housing head. A passage duct extends from a first opening, which is formed by the tube connection piece, to a second opening, which is formed by the housing head. A tube connection structure is arranged in the passage duct. The tube connection structure is connected in a form-fitting manner via first coupling means to a first end of an inner tube which extends out of the housing head through the second opening. The section of the passage duct between the first opening and tube connection structure and inner tube form a flow duct for fluid. A container is also disclosed having a container housing which forms a container hollow space and a container opening. The container opening is formed by an outwardly projecting connection piece, and has a line coupling.

Fluid storage and dispensing systems and processes involving various structures methods for fluid storage and dispensing, including, pre-connect verification couplings that are usefully employed with fluid storage and dispensing packages to ensure proper coupling and avoid fluid contamination issues, empty detect systems (e.g., monitoring pressure of dispensed liquid medium to detect pressure droop conditions) useable with fluid storage and dispensing packages incorporating liners that are pressure-compressed in the fluid dispensing operation, ergonomically enhanced structures for facilitating removal of a dispense connector from a capped vessel, cap integrity assurance systems for preventing misuse of vessel caps, and keycoding systems for ensuring coupling of proper dispense assemblies and vessels. Fluid storage and dispensing systems achieve zero or near-zero headspace character, and prevent or ameliorate solubilization effects in liquid dispensing from liners in overpack vessels.

The subject of the present invention is a liquid dispenser intended for vehicles and a method implemented during the operation of such a liquid dispenser. The liquid dispenser for a vehicle includes a liquid dispensing circuit (2) connected at one end to a liquid reservoir and at the other end to a flexible hose (3) connected to a gun (4) for dispensing the liquid from a reservoir of the vehicle, the flexible hose (3) having two substantially coaxial ducts (5, 6) including a first duct (5) for transferring the liquid from the liquid dispensing circuit (2) to the gun (4) during the delivery of the liquid from the reservoir of the vehicle, and a second duct (6) extending along the first duct (5). The liquid dispenser includes a heating system (7) intended to generate a flow of hot air through the second duct (6) of the flexible hose (3) so as to heat the liquid inside the first duct (5) of the flexible hose (3).

In an embodiment, a medication dispensing assembly includes a housing containing a plurality of electronically activated guidance devices which are configured to guide medications from at least one medication dispenser into a plurality of containers. The housing includes a panel which closes off at least a portion of one side of the housing. The panel has a plurality of wire openings that are spaced apart from one another. A plurality of wires extend through a portion of an interior of the housing and extend through the wire openings of the panel from the interior of the housing to outside of the housing. The wires are electronically connected with electronically activated guidance devices. At least one of the wire openings includes a slot which extends to an edge of the panel.

The present disclosure relates to a male connector holder for an automatic chemical supply apparatus, in which as an upper stage that is independently movable in a front-rear direction is provided on a lower stage that is moved in the front-rear direction by a transfer unit, and even when a male connector having a stretched neck region is seated on the holder, the automatic chemical supply apparatus may be smoothly and normally operated.

A method of aseptically distributing fluid including fluidly connecting a primary vessel to a fluid distribution system via a feedline of the supply vessel to form a closed system, priming the feedline to purge trapped gases and fluid from the feedline via a purge valve, simultaneously distributing fluid from the primary vessel to a plurality of secondary vessels, sensing a complete fill of the plurality of secondary vessels with the control system, and stopping the distribution of fluid when the complete fill is sensed by the control system.

A probe assembly for a closed transfer system is provided. The probe assembly includes a base having a base air inlet, a probe having a base end and a probe end, at least one primary valve positioned at the probe tip, and at least one secondary valve. The probe defines a hollow air channel extending from the base end to the probe end including a probe tip, the base end being coupled to the base such that the hollow air channel is in fluid communication with the base air inlet and the probe tip. The at least one secondary valve is positioned at the base air inlet and configured to selectively allow air into the hollow air channel.

A transfer pump includes a drive module having electronic components and a fluid module not including electronic components. The drive module provides motive power to a pump of the fluid module to power pumping by the fluid module. The drive module is movably mounted to the fluid module at dynamic and static interfaces to power reciprocation of a pumping component of the fluid module by the dynamic interface and such the drive module supports the fluid module at the static interface.
