Abstract:
The invention relates to a lid (1) for closing a can having a tubular side wall (3) provided with a top opening and with an internal radial collar disposed substantially at the same level as said top opening, said lid (1) being provided on its “bottom” face (2) with an elastically deformable annular sealing gasket (4) that is suitable for coming to bear against said collar, when the top opening of the can is in the closed state in which it is closed by said lid (1). In the non-deformed state, said sealing gasket (4) is in the general shape of a half-torus having its convex side facing outwards from the lid (1).
Abstract:
Machine (1) for distributing a product stored in a container (30) comprising a storage zone (2) delimiting locations (4) for housing a container (30), a metering station (5) delimiting a chamber (6) housing a support (7) for accepting a collecting vessel (33), this support (7) being positioned vertically in line with an opening (8) providing access to the chamber (6), which opening is arranged in an upper part (61) of the chamber (6), the machine (1) further comprising a system (10) for emptying each location (4) for housing a container (30) through the opening (8) providing access to the chamber (6), and a unit (14) for controlling the machine (1). The metering station (5) comprises a sensor (13) for detecting the presence of a collecting vessel (33) inside said chamber (6). The control unit (14) is configured to operate the machine (1) on the basis of data supplied by said sensor (13), and the metering station (5) is equipped with a circuit (15) for the circulation of gaseous fluid providing communication between the chamber (6) and the outside of said chamber (6) through a forced circulation of air.

Abstract:
A method of assisting in refilling a container (11) with liquid, the container comprising a flexible pouch that is refillable with liquid, outer packaging (15) for the pouch, and a valve (16) for opening/closing the pouch, said pouch being a compressible pouch that can be shrunk inside the outer packaging (15) under the action of pressure exerted on the outside surface of the pouch, and said valve (16) comprising a valve body (17) provided with an orifice (18) and a shutter for the orifice (18) mounted to move inside the valve body (17) between an open position and a closed position for the orifice (18) so as to enable the pouch to be emptied when the pouch is in the compressed state and the orifice (18) of the valve (16) is open. In order to refill the pouch subsequently with liquid, said method comprises a step of opening the orifice (18) of the valve (16), and a step of inflating the pouch by blowing gas into the inside of the pouch via the orifice (18) of the valve (16) in the open position.
Abstract:
A storage device for storing, selecting, and dispensing a plurality of products, each of which is packaged in a container provided with an expulsion orifice, the device including at least one products-carrier wheel that is centrally hollow and has a horizontal axis, and drive elements for driving the wheel in rotation. The device further includes a base on which the wheel is suitable, via the drive elements for driving the wheel in rotation, for standing merely by bearing against the base, the drive elements including at least two rotary circular members, at least one of the members being a driven member, these rotary circular members, incorporated into the base such that, when the wheel is bearing on the base, are tangential to the wheel, and extend on either side of a diametrical plane of the wheel, with their axes of rotation parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheel.
Abstract:
L'invention concerne un dispositif de nettoyage pour pistolet présentant une entrée de fluide, une sortie dudit fluide, une entrée de gaz et une sortie dudit gaz. Le dit dispositif de nettoyage comprend un bâti support, une tête d'alimentation en fluide portée par ledit bâti et raccordable à ladite entrée de peinture du pistolet, et un système (14) de réception de fluide qui comprend d'une part, une buse (15) de réception présentant un passage (150) de fluide raccordable en entrée (151) avec la sortie (29) de fluide à pulvériser du pistolet, et,d'autre part, un conduit (47) d'évacuation de gaz raccordable en entrée avec la sortie de gaz dudit pistolet. Ladite buse (15)est montée mobile à déplacement par rapport au bâti, suivant une direction parallèle à l'axe de l'entrée (151) du passage (150) de fluide de la buse (15) de réception, entre une position rapprochée de la tête (3) d'alimentation et une position écartée de ladite tête (3) d'alimentation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device comprising dosing valves (31, 32, 33) disposed in a circumferential row, such that the valves from one circumferential row define a circular path (TC1, TC2, TC3) during the rotation of the distribution device. The invention also includes a valve-cleaning system comprising at least one stationary dry brush (41, 42, 51, 52, 60) disposed on at least one circular path (TC1, TC2, TC3), such as to come into frictional contact with the valves of at least one circumferential row of valves.
