Abstract

Connectors and methods for contactless transfer of fluid between containers are disclosed. According to an aspect, a connector includes a body that defines a first end, a second end, and a passageway that extends between the first end and the second end, wherein the first end and second end are configured to attach to a first container and a second container, respectively. The passageway provides a pathway between the first and second containers when the first and second containers are attached to the first and second ends, respectively. Further, the connector includes an opener configured to engage and open the first container for release of a fluid from within the first container through the passageway and into the second container when the first and second containers are attached to the first and second ends, respectively.

IPC Classes  ?

• B65D 81/32 - Containers, packaging elements, or packages, for contents presenting particular transport or storage problems, or adapted to be used for non-packaging purposes after removal of contents for packaging two or more different materials which must be maintained separate prior to use in admixture
• A01M 7/00 - Special adaptations or arrangements of liquid-spraying apparatus for purposes covered by this subclass
• B05B 9/04 - Spraying apparatus for discharge of liquid or other fluent material without essentially mixing with gas or vapour characterised by means for supplying liquid or other fluent material with pressurised or compressible containerSpraying apparatus for discharge of liquid or other fluent material without essentially mixing with gas or vapour characterised by means for supplying liquid or other fluent material with pump
• B65D 25/38 - Devices for discharging contents
• B65D 25/56 - Inspection openings or windows with means for indicating level of contents

Abstract

Systems, kits, and methods for contactless application of mixed concentrates and diluents are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a system comprising a mix and storage container defining an interior and a first opening and a second opening. The first opening, the second opening and the interior are fluidly connected. Further, the system includes a connector that defines a first end, a second end, and a passageway that extends between the first end and the second end. The first end of the connector is attached to the first opening of the mix and storage container. The connector further defines an opener configured to engage and open a sealed portion of the concentrate container for release of a concentrate from within the concentrate container through the passageway and into the interior of the mix and storage container for mixing with a diluent. The system also includes an application tool.
