The present disclosure provides a carbonation preservation device that attaches to the mouth of an open container holding carbonated liquid. More specifically, the present invention relates to a device for preventing loss of carbonation from a carbonated liquid stored within a container by purging the trapped air above the remaining liquid within the container and replacing it with carbon dioxide or mixture of gases. When in place, the carbonation preservation device purges the air and other gases from the volume above the remaining carbonated liquid and fills the volume with a gas, such as carbon dioxide, or a mixture of gases, in order to pressurize the container and prevent the escape of carbon dioxide from the remaining carbonated liquid in the container.

A vacuum storage bag assembly includes a zipper bag and a vacuum valve. An opening is formed on the zipper bag. The vacuum valve is connected to the zipper bag. The vacuum valve includes a valve seat, a filtrating component and a check valve. The valve seat is disposed on the zipper bag. The valve seat includes a connecting port and a communication channel communicated with the connecting port and with interior of the zipper bag via the opening, and the connecting port is configured to be connected to a vacuum source. The filtrating component is disposed on an upstream portion of the communication channel. The check valve is disposed on a downstream portion of the communication channel and allows fluid to flow from the interior of the zipper bag, through the filtrating component, and to flow out of the connecting port.

An evacuated bottle system including a bottle defining a hollow interior, the bottle having a neck with a rim defining an opening; a cap assembly supported on the bottle, the cap assembly including a funnel having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being insertable within the interior of the bottle and the second portion engaging a portion of the bottle to support the funnel above the rim, the funnel defining a bore that fluidly communicates with the hollow interior of the bottle; a self-sealing membrane that covers the bore formed by the funnel to selectively seal the hollow interior of the bottle; a cap attachable to the bottle, the cap including a cover portion that extends at least partially over the self-sealing membrane to restrain movement thereof, the cover portion being axially spaced from the self-sealing membrane to define a gap that permits axial movement of the self-sealing membrane to selectively open the bottle to fluid communication outside of the bottle.

A device for the vacuum storage and vacuum transport of dry or wet grain under anaerobic conditions is provided, comprising: an enclosure sealed to all types of gas having at least one filling element, the filling element, when in the open position, allowing the enclosure to be filled with grains and, when in the closed position, further allowing the enclosure to be tightly sealed, and at least one non-return air valve allowing gaseous fluid transfer by the suction of air through the valve only from the inside of the enclosure to the outside of the enclosure. The device further comprises a handling arrangement associated with the enclosure and comprising a transport bag suitable for receiving the sealed enclosure and having straps that form loops that can be gripped directly by a user or by lifting equipment.

A method for filling a hand held spray device is disclosed. The spray device has a body with a reservoir. The method includes mixing a non-volatile silicone fluid, an antiperspirant active, at least one liquid activation enhancer and a first portion of an organoclay material to form a first composition, wherein the liquid activation enhancer has a Hansen Solubility Parameter for Hydrogen Bonding, .sub.h, between about 2 and about 6 and a light transmittance value greater than 90%. The method further includes mixing a liquid fragrance material and a second portion of an organoclay material to form a second composition. The method further includes filling the reservoir by either mixing the first composition and the second composition to form an antiperspirant composition and adding the antiperspirant composition to the reservoir or by filling the reservoir with the first composition and thereafter filling the reservoir with the second composition after the reservoir is filled with the first composition, to form an antiperspirant composition; attaching a valve to the body; and filling the reservoir with a propellant, wherein the hand held spray device has a propellant concentration after filling from about 30% to about 90% by weight of the total fill of materials within the reservoir.

A vacuum device according to the present invention may comprise: a vacuum unit for suctioning air from inside a packaging back through a check valve of the packaging back, thereby generating a vacuum therein; and a clamping unit provided on the vacuum unit so as to clamp the packaging back such that the check valve of the packaging back airtightly communicates with an air suction portion of the vacuum unit.

A system and corresponding method for charging an aerosol can with a compressed gas charge includes a base that is adapted for receiving a can that (i) houses a product and (ii) includes a means for injecting gas, such as a grommet or valve on the bottom of the container, and includes a compressed gas source, such as a pre-charged canister of compressed air, and air compressor, and/or an automatic or manual air pump. The can may be filled with at atmospheric pressure and then shipped while the can contains approximately atmospheric pressure. Upon receipt of the can, a user may charge the can with a compressed gas and repeat charging if needed after some of the product has been dispensed.

The invention relates to a device for vacuum stoppering a medical container. The device includes a main body defining an internal volume that has a variable pressure chamber configured to be connected to a vacuum pump. A stopper holder system is arranged in communication with the variable pressure chamber and is configured to receive and hold a stopper aligned with the direction of travel of a piston rod. A piston rod is moveable inside the internal volume of the main body along a longitudinal axis between a proximal rest position and a distal operative position wherein the piston rod pushes the stopper into the medical container. A container holder system provided in the main body, is arranged distally relative to the stopper holder system and in communication with the variable pressure chamber.

Disclosed are methods, systems and devices for evacuation of fluid, for example, air or gas, from a container or enclosed area.

A closure element for liquid containers, in particular bottles, includes a stopper engaging the opening of the liquid container (e.g., a neck of a bottle) and a cap (5) covering the edge of the neck opening, the stopper including an inlet channel passing therethrough and optionally an outlet channel, the inlet channel and optionally the outlet channel (42) are respectively provided with an inlet valve or outlet valve, which may be a pressure relief valve (21).
