| 20100294396 | COUPLING FASTENER FOR A FLEXIBLE CONTAINER, A DOCKING DEVICE FOR FLEXIBLE CONTAINERS, A METHOD FOR EMPTYING, FILLING OR REFILLING BULK MATERIAL FROM FLEXIBLE CONTAINERS, AND TWO FLEXIBLE CONTAINERS WHICH ARE COUPLED TIGHTLY WITH RESPECT TO THE ENVIRONMENT - The present invention relates to a coupling seal for a container flexible at least in sections, for example a bag or a hose, comprising a first and a second longitudinal sealing bead, which in each case are fitted with first and second sealing elements, and a coupler seal, which is provided with a longitudinal bead with adjacent third and fourth sealing elements, which can be connected reversibly, in particular sealed to the environment, with the first or respectively second sealing elements of the first and second sealing beads. Furthermore, the invention relates to a docking device, formed by two inventive coupling seals. At this point, the first and second sealing elements of the first coupling seal engage in each case in complementary first and second sealing elements of the second coupling seal. In addition, the invention relates to a container flexible at least in sections, whereof the opening is fitted with an inventive coupling seal. Finally, the invention relates to a process for in particular filling, refilling and/or emptying containers sealed to the environment by means of inventive coupling seals or respectively the inventive docking device. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100084049 | COUPLING LOCK AND ATTACHMENT MODULE AND DOCKING DEVICE, EACH CONTAINING SAID COUPLING LOCK - The present invention relates to a coupling lock for the re-filling, filling and/or emptying of containers, in particular in a manner which is insulated against the environment, with a locking side and a container side, comprising a pipe nozzle and a closing flap which rests in it and which can be pivoted around an axis, containing a front side which faces towards the locking side in the closed position, wherein the pipe nozzle has a first end on the locking side and a second, opposite end on the container side, as well as an inner and an outer side, and wherein the closing flap is located on the first end and wherein furthermore, a first, in particular circumferential, clamping element is located on the outer side of the pipe nozzle, which is suitable and designed for the purpose of the combined engagement with the second clamping element by means of a locking clamp in order to create a temporary connection. Furthermore, the invention relates to an attachment module comprising the coupling lock according to the invention and a locking clamp which are suitable and designed for the purpose of the combined engagement of the first clamping element with a second, complementary clamping element in order to create a temporary connection. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100012220 | RECEPTACLE FOR FLEXIBLE BULK-MATERIAL PACKING DRUMS AS WELL AS FILLING MODULE FOR BULK MATERIAL CONTAINING THE RECEPTACLE - A dimensionally stable receptacle for accommodating at least one flexible packing drum in an interior space of the receptacle comprises a bottom, a side wall at least one suction line leading into the interior space, at least one passage device, and at least one feed opening. At least one first docking coupling is located in or adjacent to the feed opening and/or forming the feed opening, for docking a first feeding conduit for bulk material such that, when a flexible packing drums located in the receptacle is coupled to the first docking coupling of the feed opening, the interior space may be sealed, in which a state of vacuum is obtainable through suction in the suction line. The invention further relates to a filling module and method for filling a flexible packing drum with bulk material. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20080276435 | Resealable Seals and Docking Systems Containing These Seals - A docking seal system has a first flexible enclosure with a first coupling seal and a second flexible enclosure with a second coupling seal. Each of the coupling seals has first and second sealing strips. A first zip slide is engageable with the first and second sealing strips of the first coupling seal and a second zip slide is engageable with the first and second sealing strips of the second coupling seal so that the respective first and second coupling seals can be opened and closed. The first and second zip slides are each combined with a respective portion of a coupling slide to form respective combined slides. When the combined slides are combined together, the respective portions of the coupling slides mate together to form the coupling slide, the coupling slide engaging or disengaging the first and second coupling seals so as to dock or separate the first and second flexible enclosures from one another. | 11-13-2008 |
