  • the base of the container can be of the four way entry pallet form.
  • Liner bag nozzles are commonly of two different sizes.
  • the size of nozzle is primarily dictated by the "flowability" of the liquid material held in the liner bag. Those materials with low viscosity would use a bag with a nozzle of a size smaller than that used with materials having a high viscosity.
  • Successful attempts have been made to integrate into container construction a "universal" nozzle captivating means to retain the nozzles of both common sizes in the projecting condition.
  • the degree of operator manipulation required by the "universal" nozzle captivating means to achieve size adjustment and nozzle captivation has proved unacceptable to some users.
  • the present invention is directed to the creation of a liner bag nozzle captivating "cartridge" for mounting on the container.
  • the cartridge is simple to mount on and remove from the container. In its nozzle captivating form the cartridge is robust and simple to engage with the liner bag nozzle.
  • the invention can be said to comprise a liner bag nozzle captivating cartridge for mounting on a container, the cartridge comprising a mounting plate for securement to a container in juxtaposition to an aperture in a side of the container through which a liner bag discharge nozzle will extend, a nozzle aperture through the mounting plate, a pair of shutters pivotally mounted on said mounting plate and overlying a front face of said mounting plate, movement transmitting means connecting the shutters so that pivotal movement of one shutter will cause pivotal movement of the other shutter with opposite directions of movement of said one shutter resulting inner edges of said shutters moving either towards each other or apart, a cut-out in each shutter inner edge with said cut-outs combining to define a liner bag nozzle engaging and captivating notch when the shutter inner edges lie in adjacent relationship, first shutter latching means to releasably maintain the notch defining adjacent relationship between said shutter inner edges, second shutter latching means to releasably maintain said shutter inner edges in spaced apart liner bag nozzle release relationship.

  • a pair of primary side panels 6 and 7 are hinged in known manner to the base 2 allowing the panels 6 and 7 to be folded down from the upstanding position of Fig.1 (where they engage the supporting posts) to an overlying position, one panel over the other over the base 2.
  • secondary side panels 8 and 9 are hinged (in known manner) to the base 2 and when erected, as shown in Fig.1 , engage the supporting posts 5.
  • the combined height of each secondary panel and the plinth 3, on which the panel rests and to which it is coupled so as to stand upright, 15 is substantially the same as the height of a primary panel.
  • the hinging of the secondary panels allows those panels to be folded down into overlying relationship on top of the overlying primary panels 6 and 7.
  • Coupling means (of known type) are used to couple the bottom rails of the panels 6,7 and 8,9 to the base 2 and the plinths 3, respectively and further 20 coupling means (of known type) are provided to couple adjacent edges of the panels 6,7,8,9 to provide a rigid four sided enclosure which is coupled to and upstands from the base 2.
  • the size of the plinth opening 10 is sufficient to allow the largest conventional bag nozzle to pass therethrough.
  • the plinth 3 has an upper flange 11 and a lower flange 12 which is stepped, as indicated 13, above a base foot 14. Angled struts join the plinth flange 11 to the plinth flange 12.
  • the zone marked "A" defined by the elements 4,11 , 12, 13, 14 and the angled struts provides the mounting site for the cartridge of the invention .
  • a cover 21 includes a coupling member 22 pivotally secured at 23 to the member 18 by a suitable connection and pivotally coupled to the member 22 there is a cover body 43 with edge flanges 24. There is a torsion spring 25 (see Fig.2) to urge the cover 21 towards the plane of the plate 16. The operation of the cover will be described later.
  • each shutter 26a and 26b pivotally connected at 27 to the plate 16
  • each shutter 26a and 26b has an arcuate track 28,29 respectively, there is a slot 30 in one shutter and there is a pin 31 fixed to the other shutter and engaged in the slot 30.
  • the feature 30 is shown as a slot however, other shapes for the feature 30 are possible whilst permitting the function of the pin 31 and the opening 30 (as will be described) to be achieved.
  • Each shutter 26 has an upstanding lug 32 and inner edges provided with cut-outs 33, the cut-outs when associated provide a liner bag nozzle captivating notch.
  • Fixed to the plate 16 there are two upstanding track following pins engaged respectively with the tracks 28 and 29.
  • the tracks 28 and 29 have uniform width portions 36 and enlarged end zones 37.
  • the track pins are slightly smaller in width than the tracks 28 and 29 so as to slide freely therealong and slidably mounted on each track follower pin there is a locator sleeve 45 with an outside diameter greater than the width of the tracks 28,29 and slightly less than the enlarged track end zone 37.
  • a compression spring between each sleeve 45 and a head 46 on its associated track follower pin biasses the sleeve 45 against the associated shutter when the sleeve 45 overlies the track of the associated shutter and into the enlarged zone 37 when the sleeve 45 is aligned therewith.
  • the configurations of the tracks 28 and 29 are opposite in arrangement so that when the sleeve 45 of the shutter 26a is engaged in the track end zone 37, the shutters are locked in the nozzle release condition with the inner edges of the shutters separated, see Fig.4.
  • the shutters When there is engagement between the sleeve 45 and the track end zone 37 of shutter 26b the shutters have their inner edges in adjacent relationship and the shutter cut-outs 33 form the liner bag nozzle captivating notch.
  • the arrangement thus provides first and second shutter latching means respectively for the nozzle captivating relationship of the shutters and the nozzle release condition of the shutters.
  • nozzle support means of suitable form in the zone defined by the base members 13-14 at a level below the liner bag supporting upper surface of the base.
  • the nozzle opening 10 is positioned to place the nozzle in line with the trough 43 (see Fig.8) in the liner bag supporting upper surface of the base.
  • the cover 21 would have a length longer than that required for the arrangement described in detail herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.
  • a cartridge with a pair of shutters without the cut-outs 33 would be used to cover a nozzle opening in the plinth or notches in the door panel.
  • the latch includes a leaf spring 49 fixed at 50 to the shutter 26a and provided at its other end with a pin 51 engaging in and guided for movement by a hole (not shown) in the shutter 26a.
  • the free end of the pin 51 in the bag nozzle release condition (Fig.7) is engaged in a hole 52 in the plate 16, shown dotted in Fig.6, thereby holding the shutters separated.
  • Figs.6 and 7 The functioning of the embodiment of Figs.6 and 7 is as follows. With the shutters as shown (open) in Fig. 7 the engagement of the pin 51 in the hole 52 in the plate 16 resists the forces exerted by the spring 47 pulling the shutters together to the nozzle captivating condition. As a liner bag nozzle is entered into the opening on the container panel and then passes through the plate 16 the free end of the pin 51 projecting through the hole 52 and beyond the rear face of the plate 16 will be engaged by a nozzle flange. This occurs as the nozzle is about to achieve its final projecting condition.
  • the engaged end of the pin 51 is heavily rounded so that when it is pushed into the hole 52 (in the plate 16 which is quite thin) by the nozzle flange the force exerted by the spring pulling the shutters together will cause the rounded pin end to ride up over the edge of the hole 52 and disengage therefrom. This releases the latching action holding the shutters apart.
  • the spring 47 then causes the shutters to snap into the nozzle captivating condition and the sleeve 45 of the shutter 26b will engage in the end zone 37 of the slot 29 locking the shutters in the bag nozzle captivating condition.
