Inventors:
Will G. Durant - Long Beach CA, US
International Classification:
B65B001/04
US Classification:
141 83, 141 10, 141313
Abstract:
A vacuum packer for filling valve bags employs a load cell-based scale mechanism located within the vacuum chamber. An interior packer front plate is supported from the back, inner wall of the chamber on four flexure spring check straps. The front plate is supported from a single load cell mounted on the back, interior wall of the vacuum chamber. Side bag retention plates, end retention plates and the lower bag support saddle are mounted to the packer front plate. A flexible connection is furnished between the back of the filling spout and the interior back wall of the vacuum chamber. All other required piping is made directly to the back wall of the chamber, thus removing them from the scale mechanism entirely.

Appl. No.:
7/574477
Inventors:
Will G. Durant - Long Beach CA
Erin M. Durant - Orange CA
International Classification:
B01D 2438
US Classification:
210232
Abstract:
A disposable, combined strainer and pour spout integrates into one apparatus the combination of means for pouring and straining utilizing a simple device that may be readily attached to or integrated with a disposable bucket or tub for holding paints or other liquids. A pour spout member of the invention is preferably made of a simple die cut paper shape and a strainer member of the present invention is preferably a die cut triangular mesh to which a paper band is affixed at one edge. The strainer mesh is secured to the pour spout by stitching, or gluing along two sides. The band side of the strainer mesh is left free to move away from the spout as the device is rolled into a partial cylindrical or conical section when attached to the bucket. The combined assembly may be attached to a disposable bucket utilizing a pre-applied tape band, stitching, or may be built integrally into the bucket.

Valve Bag Placer

View page
US Patent:
43345581, Jun 15, 1982
Filed:
Jun 3, 1980
Appl. No.:
6/155920
Inventors:
Will G. Durant - Tustin CA
International Classification:
B65B 4318
B65B 4330
US Classification:
141114
Abstract:
A bag placer apparatus for placing a valve bag upon a filler spout through which the bag is to be filled with a flowable material. The apparatus comprises three principal components, namely, a magazine for stacking the bags, a registration and indexing apparatus for removing one bag at a time from the stack and aligning the bag with the valve portion thereof in a precise location, and a picker-spouter apparatus which picks up the aligned bag, opens the valve and places it upon a filler spout. The magazine has means for supporting a plurality of vertical stacks of bags with each stack comprising a plurality of bags in horizontal position. The magazine also includes means for sensing when the last bag of a stack has been withdrawn for positioning another stack in appropriate location for being received by the registration and indexing apparatus. The registration and indexing apparatus includes means for automatically registering each bag in precise position and alignment relative to the picker-spouter apparatus thereby relieving the machine operator of the need to carefully align the bags in precise positions in the magazine stacking operation. The picker-spouter apparatus includes an advantageous combination of clamp mechanism, suction cups, and a push rod, for greater reliability in opening the valve of a bag and placing it securely on a filling spout.

Apparatus For Use On Open-Mouth Cans For Pouring Liquid Therefrom

View page
US Patent:
47368748, Apr 12, 1988
Filed:
Nov 24, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/934284
Inventors:
Will G. Durant - Tustin CA
International Classification:
B65D 2548
US Classification:
222570
Abstract:
A pouring apparatus for use on a liquid-carrying container such as a paint can for preventing inadvertent spillage onto the can, the apparatus having a wedge-shaped annulus for insertion into the open mouth of the can and for frictional engagement with the inner rim of the can without being supported on the top or side wall of the can. A spout member provides a pouring surface which may be either integral to or separate from but supported by the annulus. Where the pouring surface is separate, it may be made of a disposable material such as paper. Such disposable material pouring surface or spout member is preferably secured between the wedge-shaped annulus and the inner rim of the can. This is facilitated by shaping the secured portion of the spout member to conform to the wedge shape of the annulus. By using a relatively rigid wedge to trap the paper spout member against the inner rim of the can and to wrap the spout member around the inserted portion of the wedge, the spout member can be made economically disposable while the annulus remains clean and readily reuseable.

Inventors:
Will G. Durant - Tustin CA
Assignee:
W. G. Durant Corporation - Placentia CA
International Classification:
B65B 4318
B65B 4330
US Classification:
141 98
Abstract:
A bag placer apparatus for placing a valve bag upon a filler spout through which the bag is to be filled with a flowable material. The apparatus comprises three principal components, namely, a magazine for stacking the bags, a registration and indexing apparatus for removing one bag at a time from the stack and aligning the bag with the valve portion thereof in a precise location, and a picker-spouter apparatus which picks up the aligned bag, opens the valve and places it upon a filler spout. The picker-spouter apparatus includes an advantageous combination of clamp mechanism, suction cups, a push rod, and a second clamp mechanism which employs a pair of leaf-springs which selectively grasp and align the vertical edge of each bag below the valve thereof to further ensure proper bag alignment and valve opening. A novel bag printer assembly is provided to permit the user to automatically print a selected code, indicia or other writing on each bag and especially on the bottom of each bag as it is being handled by the bag placer. This printer assembly is structurally integrated into the registration and indexing apparatus and electrically and pneumatically integrated into the overall system whereby printing on each bag is automatically accomplished.

Combined Auger And Air-Type Valve Bag Filling Machine

View page
US Patent:
46129642, Sep 23, 1986
Filed:
Apr 1, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/718660
Inventors:
Will G. Durant - Tustin CA
Assignee:
Westmont, Inc. - Santa Fe Springs CA
International Classification:
B65B 118
US Classification:
141 68
Abstract:
A valve bag filling apparatus that combines an auger-type feed and an air pressure-type feed in a unitary filling system for filling valve bags with flowable particulate material at higher speed and with greater accuracy. A concentric tube configuration is used to deliver such material at high speed into the bag during a major portion of the filling cycle with both feed systems acting simultaneously. A novel cutoff tube closes an annular air feed passage during the final portion of the filling cycle when the auger feed portion of the system completes the bag filling operation at a highly accurate and readily controlled low feed rate. Air purge jets clear the air passage of remaining material during the final portion of the filling cycle. A unique fluidizing section of the apparatus aerates the product and feeds it into both the auger and air passage during high speed filling.
