Fluid dispenser having pressure regulator
A pneumatic liquid dispenser includes a container and a lid. When the lid is mounted on the container, the container supports passaging defining a gas supply inlet for receiving pressurized gas, a gas outlet for delivering pressurized gas to the container, and a gas flow path between the inlet and the outlet. A pressure valve is located between the gas supply inlet and the gas outlet. The pressure valve is configured to automatically permit gas flow along the gas flow path when pressure in the interior of the container is less than a threshold pressure and to automatically block gas flow along the gas flow path when pressure in the interior of the container is greater than the threshold pressure. When gas flows freely through the gas flow path, the gas pressurizes the container to dispense liquid in the container through a liquid passage.
Fluid handling device having valve
A liquid dispenser includes a container and a lid. When the lid is mounted on the container, the container supports passaging including a gas supply inlet and a venturi. A control valve in fluid communication with the passaging is adjustable to a dispensing configuration and an evacuation configuration and a separate mode selector valve is adjustable to a dispensing configuration and an evacuation configuration. The dispenser dispenses liquid when both valves are in the dispensing configuration and evacuates liquid when both valves are in the evacuation configuration. The mode selector valve can block flow through a pressurization passage of the passaging in the evacuation configuration and through the venturi or other evacuation passage in the dispensing configuration.
Spilled fuel collection system
The spilled fuel collection system is configured for use with the fuel vent of a vessel. The fuel vent is designed to release gas and fuel during an event selected from the group consisting of: a) a build-up of gas pressure within the fuel tank; and, b) overfilling the fuel tank with fuel. The spilled fuel collection system is an accessory that captures fuel and fuel vapors that escape through the fuel vent of a vessel during the fueling process. The spilled fuel collection system comprises a transportable fuel container, a hose, and a quick connect fitting. The transportable fuel container captures the fuel and vapor that escape through the fuel vent. The hose transports the escaped fuel and vapor from the fuel vent into the transportable fuel container. The quick connect fitting secures the hose to the fuel vent.

Retaining frame for a multicoupling for filling and/or draining a chemical plant container
A holding stand for a multicoupling for filling and/or emptying a chemical plant container is provided, having a mounting device for the essentially stationary fastening of the holding stand and at least one compensating device, couplable indirectly or directly to the multicoupling, for varying a position of the multicoupling in relation to the mounting device in the vertical direction and/or in the horizontal direction and/or for varying an angular position of the multicoupling in relation to the mounting device about a vertical and/or horizontal axis of rotation. It thereby becomes possible for a multicoupling to be coupled simply.

System and method for controlling boom assembly movement of an agricultural sprayer
An agricultural sprayer includes an actuator configured to adjust the position of a boom assembly of the sprayer relative to a frame of the sprayer. A computing system is configured to determine the operating parameter of the sprayer at a current time based on received sensor data. Moreover, the computing system is configured to anticipate when the boom assembly will move relative to the frame in a fore/aft direction at a future time based on the determined operating parameter, with the fore/aft direction being parallel to a direction of travel of the agricultural sprayer. In addition, when it is anticipated that the boom assembly will move, the computing system is configured to control the operation of the actuator before the future time such that movement of the boom assembly relative to the frame is reduced at the future time.

Fuel container system
The disclosure relates to a portable fuel container system which can facilitate extracting substantially all of the contents contained therein, without having to physically manipulate the container to do so, thereby minimizing spillage and waste. Embodiments of the fuel container system can include a fuel container enclosing a fluid cavity and a fluid dispenser. A collection channel may be recessed in the base section of the container and configured to gravitationally draw fluid to an end of the channel having an aperture, which forms a low point of the fluid cavity. A fluid dispenser can be coupled to the aperture and be in fluid communication with the cavity. The dispenser can include a valve and flexible conduit, allowing the user to position the dispenser to a desired location before activating the flow of fluid.
