Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Fluid storage and dispensing systems and processes involving various structures methods for fluid storage and dispensing, including, pre-connect verification couplings that are usefully employed with fluid storage and dispensing packages to ensure proper coupling and avoid fluid contamination issues, empty detect systems (e.g., monitoring pressure of dispensed liquid medium to detect pressure droop conditions) useable with fluid storage and dispensing packages incorporating liners that are pressure-compressed in the fluid dispensing operation, ergonomically enhanced structures for facilitating removal of a dispense connector from a capped vessel, cap integrity assurance systems for preventing misuse of vessel caps, and keycoding systems for ensuring coupling of proper dispense assemblies and vessels. Fluid storage and dispensing systems achieve zero or near-zero headspace character, and prevent or ameliorate solubilization effects in liquid dispensing from liners in overpack vessels.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A connector for a material storage and dispensing package, comprising a main body portion, including a handle mounted on the main body portion and pivotally translatable thereon, between an up position, and a down position, wherein the connector is adapted to be coupled with a material storage and dispensing vessel for closure thereof, and the connector includes a dispensing assembly for dispensing material from the vessel, and a pressure relief device…
