A manifold has a fluid inlet, a plurality of fluid outlets, a movable conduit member, a first drive mechanism, and a control module in which the conduit member has a fluid path therethrough, in which the fluid inlet is fluidly connected to a first end of the fluid path, in which the conduit member is mounted for movement on a support member, and in which the first drive mechanism is configured to move the conduit member on the support member to selectively associate a second end of the fluid path with one of the plurality of fluid outlets according to commands issued by the control module.

A nozzle for delivering fuel from a fueling station that can be remotely triggered to shut-off prior to the receiving fuel tank being filled. The nozzle includes a valve that can be opened by a lever and latched into the open position for continuous filling. The nozzle handle has an actuator positioned to cause the latch to release the lever and a controller that can energize the actuator in response to receipt of a wireless signal indicating that the delivery of fuel should be terminated. A wireless communication interface of the nozzle is in wireless communication with a fuel management system that can monitor a fuel flow meter to signal the nozzle to shut-off when the amount of fuel that has been delivered reaches a predetermined amount.

A loading arm that transfers flowing bulk material from a storage vessel and into a transport tank through a top hatch of the transport tank that is carried on a truck or rail car for transport includes an articulating arm having a plurality of connected hollow pipes. A hatch plate connected to the discharge of the aim and defines a top member, a bottom member and an outer edge connecting the top and bottom members. At least one of the bottom member and the outer edge of the hatch plate defines a resiliently flexible section configured to deform upon engaging with the top hatch of the transport tank.

An inventive boom arm for a concrete-distributing boom. The boom arm has an elongate box-profile support formed from two flanges and two webs connecting the flanges laterally. The boom arm has first and second articulation points spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the boom arm. A first flange opening is disposed at the first articulation point and a second flange opening is disposed at the second articulation point. A sealing-partition seals a cavity region of the box-profile support at least in a region of the first and second flange openings. The sealing partition can be provided in the form of a plate that continuously spans the cavity region between the first and second articulation points and is connected laterally to the webs. The first articulation point is located at the end of the boom arm and is arranged within the cavity region and is covered by the partition plate.

A grease gun extension device that supports a flexible grease gun extension tube allowing the user to securely position the grease tip onto a grease fitting without having to use a second hand to force the grease tip onto the grease fitting. A series of rigid elongate tube supporting members are pivotably attached via spring biased locking knobs and radial gear tooth panels located at the ends of each rigid tube supporting member, allowing the user push on the locking knob, bend the flexible extension tube to the desired angle and release the locking knob to have the radial gear tooth panel sets lock the flexible tube at a fixed angle.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to fluid injection systems, apparatus, methods, and associated components thereof that include flexible hoses for wellhead sites. In one implementation, a fluid injection system for wellhead sites includes a platform, a pump manifold mounted to the platform, and a pair of rails mounted to the platform. The fluid injection system includes a trolley disposed between the pair of rails and above the pump manifold. The trolley is movable along the pair of rails. The fluid injection system includes an articulation arm device mounted to the trolley. The articulation arm device includes one or more pivot joints coupled between two or more arms, and a connection device coupled to an end arm of the two or more arms.

The invention relates to a dispensing mandrel (1) for dispensing material from a flexible bulk goods container, the dispensing mandrel (1) comprising a hollow body (2) which has an upper and a lower opening surface. A tip adjoins the upper end of the hollow body (2), leaving the upper opening of the hollow body (2) at least partially free. The tip is formed by at least three struts (3) which are planar, radially oriented elements which each abut the inner face (16) of the hollow body (2) with the lower outer edge (15) thereof, and meet at the upper end of the dispensing mandrel (1), thereby forming a tip. At least one transverse strut (12), which abuts against the hollow body (2) with the lower edge (13) thereof, projects from each strut (3).
