PRESERVAΗON AND DISPENSAΗON BY VOLUMETRIC DISPLACEMENT

Technical Field

The piesent invention 1 elates to the tield ot stoiing and dispensing materials with particular application to containei s ith contents that aie paitialK consumed

Background Art

Containet when paitialK emptied ot then contents, exhibit a wide range of undesirable characteristics Unless special and often expensive pi ccduics aie used atmosphere enteis the container and pollutes it with undesirable elements such as watei an bom contaminates oi unwanted oxxgen Containers that aie emptied in watei baths space oi in other atei il baths αi e damaged oi difficult to pom in those ironmental lements The contaminates can pie-matuielv cine oi damage the pioduct 01 cause unwanted watei condensation as an sensitive paints and .2 lues liai cn 01 skin tine wines and other pieparations oxidize wheat crackers get sogg> 01 liquid fuel tanks gathei watei Ihese aie μist a tew examples Anothei undesirable chaiacteπstic ot a paitiallv emptied conia ei is the toi the usable material in the container to loose gas olf gassing to the air space left in the coπtainei ϋtt nassnm lesults in pie atuie curing 01 damaging ot pioducts it lesults in loss ot material atenals w ith atu content w hen tiozen in paitialK full contaiiieis loose moisiuie to the air by sublimation and exhibit ' tieezei bum Oil nassinu can cause concerns as a mixuiie ot fuel or othei flammable vapor and oxvgen in a paitialK kill lucl tank can explode Λ half lull containei of a mateiial imposes increased file hazaid if the dust an mixture is combustible especiallv it that containei is laige such as in a storage silo Contaiiieis that an paitialK tilled ith toxic 01 unpleasant material that evaporates emit more toxic or unpleasant odois when opened then full contaiiieis do polluting the environment and clearing health risks Waste disposal and septic holding Links undei ceirain conditions emit foul odois One paiπcularK poignant example ot ott gassing d m g is that inch occuis to paitialK consumed portions ot etfei vescent beseiages Effei vescent beveraues such as d champagne spaikling wines coolers beei and the like have CO- gas dissolved in them at piessuie I iitoitunateK the caibonated beveiage is stored undei piessure 111 the bottle and after the bottle is opened the best pan ot the IMS IS tiee ro escape the beveiage and the drink goes flat it the cap is leplaced the gas is tiee to go into the an above the dunk and the bigger that space gets a. the drink is 'used up" the moie gas can escape and the pooiei the dunk tastes A second opening ot the containei compounds the problem and acceleiates the dainaue 10 the Leaving a small amount ot beseia e at the bottom ot the containei will vield 111 a da\ a dunk that is almost devoid ot etteivescence and toi inosi people worthless A pioblem that the invention deals w ith as a side benefit is that ice hen used to cool a dunk waters down the drink as the ice melts That is the warei demed as the ice melts contaminates the dunk and dilutes it Management of matenals in contaiiieis that ai 011K paitialK Kill cieates a numbei ot management difficulties For example a characteristic of a paitialK emptied containei is that in manv cases n is more difficult to le ove material fiom it A half empty tube ot toothpaste is haidei 10 squeeze Rolling up the bottom ot a metal squeeze lube can cause the metal to crack it lolling is done impiopeiK Ab the inustaid 01 glue in the squeeze bottle is used up it becomes more difficult to dispense requn mg bottle invetting and shaking Delicate applications that require the material to be dispensed in a prescribed manner such as decotative application b\ artists precise glue 01 calk application and cake icing become moie difficult as the tube 01 bottle has less usable mateiial in it f ng to squeeze the usable mateiial in an upwaid diiecnon such as encounteted when undei a cai and tι\ mg to make the squeeze can ot penetrating oil shoot in an upwaid diiection 01 putting mateiial fiom a squeeze bottle onto the uudeiside ot a horizontal sin face such as a ceiling is difficult Containers with simple taps spigots petcocks 01 fittings must generally have the tap at a low location in the containei so that ill bung the liquid to the exit openi u ot the containei living to get the last bit oui ol a squeeze tube is neai imposable C lindeis ot expensive gasses can not be completely emptied in

easv fashion V\ hen the internal piessine ot the uas is equal to the external atmospheric pressure unless a vacuum is applied no moie iias ill come out ot the cvlmdei Λnother undesirable chaiacteiistic ot partial I v emptied containeis is thai the contents can move about or splash In vehicles this leads lo an load that moves about disiupting (he smoothness oi the nde Baffles in liquid fuel tanks aie currentK used to leduce sloshing in othei instances sloshing causes the mateiial in the containei to fioth up Foi example a shaken and tiothed ettei vescent beveiage spιa\s all ovei when opened C ontaineis in some instances requiie venting An must be let into the container via anothei openiii_ so that the usable mateiial can exit I he vent often must be manuallv opened and closed a laboi consumnm activitv Λu coming in the vent can pollute 01 damage the usable material in the containei It is difficult to dehvei a meteied oi specific amount ot material from a container v ith out introducing air to the containei Λ halt full containei is not as stable as a full container and vv ith less weight can tip over more easil Iheie is a psvchological effect on the usei that is different foi a full container and a paitiallv emptied one Taking paint fiom a can and puttiim it MHO othei containers tor brush dipping oi tolling is a messv affair So is putting the unused poition back into the can Pumping mateiial lequnes appaiauis of vanous degrees ot complexitv Puinpm-t maienals thai aie em iionmcntallv sensitive in that thev aie volatile and pollute oi in that thev aie damaged b\ contact w ith the atmosp eie lequnes expensive appaiatus Some containeis contain usable material and a piopellant <ιas packed undei pressuie I he compiessed piopellant «αs is used to drive the material out at the push ol a button oi to spiav the usable mateiial these generaiK disposable containers loose piessure as the usable mateiial and the gas aie used up In the production and use ot containeis theie are environmental consideiatmns Because ol tl pioblcins issociaied ith paitialK filled containeis pioducts aie frequentK shipped in smallei coniaiiieis W Ink one containei is opened and in use the lemaming matei lal is kept ttesh in the lemainiπg unopened containeis This technique lequires moie container wall mateiial pei unit oi stored usable material because in geneial the sin lace aiea ot the container increases in pi poition 10 the squaie of ot the containei s ladius while the volume iiicicases as the cube Since the sui face aiea ol the containei is direct related to the amount ol matei lal it takes to make the containei in geneial the gieatei the numbei ot containers a given amount ot usable mateiial is stoied in tin moie containei wall mateiial will be needed to make those containers Also moie containeis geneiallv take moie human and machine ettoit to make In all it is moie economical as well as moie conseivative ol ciieigv and natuial lesources to make large containeis The down side is that Iaige containeis can lead 10 incieased amounts ot spoilage ot the unused contents ol the containers Even in small containeis damaged unused mateiial causes loss ot enεigv and natuial lesouices Utilization of extra eneigv and natural lesouices is den imental lo out env iiυπmeni these losses lead to financial loss ontaineis whose contents are packaged undei piessine lui spiav ivpe deliveiv have in the past used piopellant .lasses that mαv be damaging to the env uonnieiii In ciieial it is a difficult ptoble to lemovc mateiial li ni a conuunei ithout allowing an to contact the lemaming poitions It is even moie difficult to lemove ihe matei lαl undei these conditions in metered portions

Preset sui" the unused poition ot etteivescent beverages has also ovei time pioved to be a difficult pioblem to address economicalK Pumps have been developed which will tepressuiize opened bottles ot ettervescent material as exemplified bv the device disclosed in United States Pat No 5322094 Janesko Ihese cumbersome to use as each time the containei is opened i e entile container must be lepiessuπ/ed In addition CO- the gas used foi carbonating dunks will tiαnsiei in pan to the an pumped into the containei as the an has too low a partial pressure ot CO- as it is pumped fiom the amiospheie into the containei The beveiatie still goes flat despite all the pumping

The concept of filling a containei with alternate mateiial to keep it full and pieseive the contents has been embodied in pievious pαienis Hohl U Patent 262773 patented 1882 shows an appaiatus toi insei lion into a beer keg the appaiatus hav mg α blαddei attached that is filled with water fiom a leservoir mounted above the keg The leseivou is utilized to till the bladdei w ith atei as beer is lemoved lioni the keg v la a lap mounted in the keg A pipe is fitted between the lesei u and the kc .

The an pump soda sav ei fountain I 2 oi ks best if the CO- gas bubble is not allowed to exit the soda bottle

fountain 250 Foi example lav mg the bottle flat causes the CO- gas bubble to sit along the side of the container which is now up The soda bottle fountain adaptor passagewav 230 lies under the fluid so that onlv carbonated soda can ex it the containei and not anv fi eed CO- gas Ramifications ol Air Pump Soda Sav er Fountain 1.2.

A marvelous soda fountain dispenser has now been created that has a numbei of advantages ov er the soda saver previouslv described 1 he f irst advantage is that it can perform at highei ef ficiencies Removing the cap from the soda saver I results in some loss ot carbonation each time the containei is opened Although this loss is small in iclation to a standaid soda bottle it is a loss that accumulates if the container is opened over and over again In the an pump soda savei fountain 1 2 anv CO- gas that escapes the beverage accumulates in a gas bubble over the bevei age With the soda sav ei propei lv positioned that gas does not exit the bottle when soda is removed In tact the air pi essure bui lt up in th displacement matter chamber will di ive the CO- gas back into the soda therebv re-cai bonating the soda The resu lt is the dehverv of perfect, tullv cai bonated soda everv time, even if the user takes ιust a l ittle bit out over and over again This result has not been previously been achieved in an economical convenient and sate manner without the use ot a C02 gas supplv

An air pump used on a standard containei ot soda is of little value A lthough the pressui e can easilv be raised in the containei the CO- gas i cadilv escapes the soda and "permeates' the block ot compressed air over the soda When the an is pumped in it has too low i pai tial pi essure ot C O- gas and the C O- as ot the bev erage comes out ot solution lo i .use the pai tial pressui e ot CO- gas in the air above the drink The an pump looks like a good device but it simplv doesn t woi k v ei v well

This is all changed w ith the soda savei and other beverage savers presented in this application The CO^ gas in the drink is pi evented ti om m ixinn w ith the compressed air bv the gas impermeable displacement partition The effective new displacement matter is a block ot compressed air that has been isolated fi om the CO- gas of the drink The conventional an pump now works

Anothei mipi ovement pt esented m the use ot the conventional hand air pump in a conventional soda bottle is that everv time the pump is l emov ed to pom out another drink all the vacant space must be repumped over and over again making a tedious pumping |ob With the air pump soda savei fountain 1.2 onlv that poi tion ot the container w hei e ti esh bevei age has been l emoved must be pumped up The pumped an that w as previouslv pumped in is not removed This results in ύn enoi mous amount of saved labor toi the user

Anothei adv antaue ot the an pump soda saver fountain 1.2 is that it takes less energv to cool the compressed air than it does to cool the atei used in the soda saver I 1 Watei unless it is chilled fu st can w arm the soda to some degi ee The soda and the w atei must then be chilled bv the l ett igei ator resulting in a delav tor completelv chilled soda This delav is v astlv l educed because the heat capacitv of the an is so much lower than that of water

The weight ot the an pump soda sav ei fountain 1.2 is reduced as the bevetage is used up The watei added to the soda savei I keeps it heav v thi ough out use

The an pump soda sav ei fountain 1 2 is convenient to use in dispensation It l ies flat in the retπgeratoi using up the back space ot the l etngei atoi Soda can be dispensed directlv ti om the container without removing it from the l etπgeratoi although pumpmn is required

An econom ical means ot obtaining good soda is also obtained In genei al the soda saver without the air pump and fountain head is inexpensi e and disposable In addition the soda saver will work with water as described earlier and is a f unctional entitv ithout the expense ot a pump and soda fountain valve The pump and fountain valve ai e moi e costlv but at e l eusable ti om soda savei to soda savei A genei allv disposable means has been obtained to disti ibute the soda vv Inch is in a volumeti ic disposable containei that is the combination ot the outei container and the displacement partition sh ipped and distributed with the caps on instead ot the pump and fountain valve

Chambeis pαssagewavs caps and containei 12 have been constructed which are analogous to their corresponding stiuctuies in the soda savei I The container 12 and the paint dispensei 2 also work best with a fixed maximum internal volume as desci ibe for the soda saver I

TIG 2B also shows 25 liteis water 118 that has been iπeastued bv a conventional measuring device Device Description ol Paint Dispenser 2.

A paint dispensei 2 ol fixed internal volume has been achieved which has two separate chambers With the paint dispensei 2 maintained in the full fill state the sum of the volumes ot the chambers ill remain roughly constant In the full fill state the admission of water 52 into the displacement matter chamber 48 will force an equivalent amount ot paint ^0 from the usable material chamber 46 Since the chambers are tightly sealed from each othei theie can be no transfei ot mattei oi mateiial between chambers In proper operation, no atmosphere can entei the container though the conventional valve 104 The usable mateiial chamber 46 is therefore isolated from the enviionmeni and theielore contamination ot the paint 50 bv the atmosphere is reatlv reduced or eliminated depending on the etficiencv ot the valve and its usage

The displacement tube 84 piov ides a means to introduce non-compressible mattei to the displacement mattei chamber 48 undei piessuie 1 his piessuie ill nanstei thiough the mobile displacement partition 38 to the paint 50 stored in the usable mateiial chambei 46 It the usable mateiial cap 64 is lemoved and the conventional valve 104 is opened the displacemeni paitition 28 will move as paint 50 is driven tiom the paint dispenser 2 as the paint 50 goes though and out the attached spout 94 During this dispensing operation the unused portion ot the paint remains isolated tiom and not contaminated bv the environment

Ihe addition ot a quantitv ol 25 liteis watei 118, will cause the dispensation ot an equal amount of paint 50 that is 25 liteis Alteinativelv ith the spout 94 reinoved and the paint brush cup 110 sciewed securelv on paint exiting the usable mateiial chamber will be loiced into the paint biush cup I 10 via the cup passagewav 112 Exercising the lαttei option watei 50 lemoved tiom the gravity tube will allow the paint 50 to tlow back into the container from the paint biush cup I 10 ci eating a non messv wav to lemove and leplace paint 50 from the paint dispensei 2 Ramifications ot Paint Dispenser 2.

as "usable material" See term section. ) In action the waste disposal volumetric displacement device would expel displacement matter as it is filled with waste

A variation to the paint dispensei 2 is the addition of a spigot and valve combination, tap and valve combination, cock, conventional petcock installed in the container wall of the usable material chamber. Most convenient, although not mandatoi would be 10 install the conventional petcock near the bottom of the sidewall of the container 12 This w ould allow most ot the usable material in the usable material chamber 46 to dram without tipping the paint device 2 Matei ial could How ti om the conventional petcock when it was opened, with displacement matter flow inn into the displacement matter chamber 48 Usable material can tlow out propelled by the force of gravity while matei ial in the container remains isolated from the environment.

The addition of the conventional petcock allow for the elimination of the usable material neck and passageway Usable material could be loaded at the factory through the conventional petcock. or through the displacement matter neck passanew av betoi e the displacement partition clamp and the displacement partition are installed, or through the access passanewav

Another achievement with this device is the elimination of the need to vent the container for emptying it. or to open and close that vent, as is now done on a conventional container Many containers have vents to allow air to enter the containei as it is being emptied Utten. the vents are capped to pievent evaporation or contamination of the usable material in the containei Usable matei nil is eithei poured out the container opening, as in a gas can. or out a tube or petcock. cock at the bottom of the container, as in a lai ne coftee dispensei. With the displacement matter chamber installed, the container needs no other vent.

This means that a container can be poui ed li om directly or tapped at the bottom without the need to open a vent. Although the container has an openinn loi the displacement matter, this opening need not be shut to prevent evaporation or contamination ot the usable material In many applications, the cap to the displacement matter chamber may be left of f w ith no ill et lects and lesults in an easier to use container and overall labor savings.

A variation ot the paint dispensei 2 is to fit a plug type cap directly to the displacement partition clamp 34. so that the displacement tube 84 can be stoi ed separately to save space. Use ot the displacement matter cap 66 at the top of the displacement tube 84 is optional Altei nativelv . modification ot the |unciion of the displacement lube 84 and the displacement partition clamp ^ w ould allow the displacement mattei cap 66 to fit both on the top of the displacement tube 84. and on the displaeeineni partition clamp 34. so that onlv one cap need be made, to be used as the consumer chooses

The external chamber could be shaped as a pan. to use as a paint roller filler Screens might be employed at various points such as at the spout 50 oi in ihe cup passageway I 12. I hese would piovide the user lump tree, screened paint

A displacemeni partition 28 and its various parts are constructed in similar fashion to the displacement partition 28 of the soda savei I already described and depicted in FIG I B. except that it has no displacement partition flange 32.

The displacement partition neck 29 is bonded with adhesive 42 directly to the inner wall of the displacement matter neck 20. within the displacement matter neck passageway 22. eliminating the need for a displacement partition clamp 34

With a displacement tube 84 that stands considerably higher than the spout 94. the simplified paint dispenser 2d works similarly to the paint dispenser 2 except that there is no access ltd 72 oi conventional valve 104 to operate Device Description of Simplified Paint Dispenser 2d.

Without a conventional valve installed in the usable material passageway 16. the simplified paint dispenser 2d shown does not completely seal the paint 50 from the environment However, as long as the usable material fill level 56 is kept in the narrow part of the usable material neck 14. the surface area of the material exposed to the environment is gi eatly reduced, providing greatly improved isolation of the paint 50 from the environment over existing conventional stoi age devices

As the diameter ot the usable matenαl passageway 16 becomes smaller, the ability of the simplified paint dispenser 2d to isolate the paint 50 from the environment becomes greater and gieater Ramification and Variation of Simplified Paint Dispenser 2d.

A nanow displacement mattei passagewav that is with a small inside diameiei would prevent the membiane

of the displacement partition from ballooning out of the opening. i lexible necks can be incorporated on the volumetric devices Appropi i.ite υtlset angles tor the neck oi flexible necks, make its use easiei and moie convenient.

Devices ithout separate usable mateiial passageways are possible, where the displacement partition is inserted and reinoved trom the same neck of the container that serves as a passageway for the usable matei lal This is discussed more fully in the description ol the retrofit volumetric displacement device 10 Displacement Partition Variation Ramifications.

There aie numerous materials toi displacement partitions used in different applications Already discussed is l< Mylar . but metal toils without plastic backing would woik in satistactoiv manner in main instances Aluminum foil can make a tough membrane that lesisis teais and pu ctuies il not tolded As the mateiial loi the displacement partition, in a disposable package it would w iihsiand the small amount ol weai it would be sul ected to

Main materials such as plastics, lubbei. and metal ill form membranes, toils or can be made into generallv flat forms Plastics and i ubbers such as butvl. CPE. eioss linked polyethylene. EPDM. fluorocarbon. latex, natural rubber, neopi ne. inn lie. in Ion. polyestei. polyethylene, pvc. teflon, theimoplastic tirethaiie. vinyl and others can be utilized to make displacement partitions ^" I hese materials can be used sometimes bv themselves, or in combination w uh other matei nils Matei i.il combinations aie selected so as to be impervious to the compound, usable mateiial displacemeni matiei thev aie ic-quired to be next to I 01 almost anv chemical, there can usually be found a uibber. plastic, displacement partition mateiial combination, that will not be damaged bv that chemical

Displacemeni partitions in vanous embodimeni can be made liom materials thai ate rigid, flexible, oi elastic

Some applications w ill have displacement partitions that can be lolled up toi insertion into the container. The displacemeni partitions will latei unliul I he displacemeni partition in some applications can be eliminated Alreadv descnbe in the sod savei descnption is a method foi using conventional glass marbles as the displacement matter An agent, immiscible with the eoniainei s contents, would eliminate the need tor a physical barrier between the conienis ot the containei and the displacement matter chambei I oi example, il one pouied oil into the soda containei. and it did not contaminate the soda, it would provide the necessaiy volume to fill the container and prevent degassing ol the soda This would prove to be an acceptable solution, and would tall under the protection ot the claims in this patent application

In a squeeze containei. the uitioduciiυn ot an. if it weie immiscible w uh the contents, would provide a wav to "keep the container lull" Foicing fully immiscible, self drv ing calk into a tube ot toothpaste would fill the tube allowing the containei to be lull, ithout contaminating the toothpaste Oil in a sealed v egai bottle ill fill the bottle, not mix with the vinegai. pioiect the vinegar tiom the atmospheie's deletei ions eltects. and pievent the vinegar trom oil gassing

The shape ol the displacement partition contributes is many instance to the efficiency ot the volumetric displacement device. It the container has an extensive usable material neck, the designei of the displacement partition might include the shape ot the usable material neck in the shape oi the displacement partition. This would more ettectivelv fill the container when it is nearlv emptv of usable material

A refinement is to shape the displacement partition and the container as w ll at to control the location of the necks so that the displacement partition would not block the usable mateiial passageway as ihe ettervescent beverage pouied out \ arious interior ridges, members and channels added to either the displacement partition or the inteπυi ot the container would also accomplish this purpose

A design feature is the addition ot a vent between the contents chambei and the top to the non compressible matter chambei Fins vent could be valved Off gassing pressure in the contents chamber would force the non-compressible material out an improperly sealed displacement mattei passagewa . If. however, the gas vented to the top ot the displacement matter passageway, the gas would escape the leak rather then the displacement matter, thus pievennnn a messy overflow A level sensor could be emploved to activate the valve Clamp, Flange, and Adhesive Variation Ramifications.

The displacement partition clamp with pioper design can be eliminated from much ot the embodiment depicted Bv bonding the displacement partition neck directlv to the inside w al l of the displacement matter neck a simpler dev ice is created vv ithout need toi a displacement partition clamp I n the soda savei I . internal pressure would press the displacement partition neck into the bond that holds it to the iππei wall of the displacement matter neck making the bond vei y ef fectiv e

Various adhesives. glues hot melts, heat bond oi welds could be employed to make the attachment.

I he displacement partition neck can also be bonded directly to the displacement partition clamp without sandwiching u between ihe displacement partition clamp and the displacement matter neck lip The displacement partition neck can be clamped in a tw o piece displacement partition clamp which attaches to the container his variation pi ov ides an easy w ay to l emove and replace the displacement partition With this variation usable material can can be ti anstei red m a bi-directional manner between the usable matei ial chamber and the environment m a containei that onlv has one neck and passagew ay The displacement matter neck passageway and the usable matei ial neck passageway ai e one With the displacement partition c lamp and the displacement partition installed, the passagew av serves as the displacement matter neck passagew ay With the displacement partition clamp and the displacement partition l emoved 01 sufficiently loosened, the passageway now serves as the usable material neck passageway

Modifications ot the displacement partition clamp that allow the displacement partition clamp and the displacemeni partition to be l emoved I mm the container, allow toi easv cleaning ot the container and the displacemeni partition Such modifications include the above as wel l as tw o piece displacement portion clamps that hold or seeui elv clamp the displacement partition flange Such modification allows tor more ready reuse ot the volumeti ic d isplacement device Cap and Valve Variation Ramifications.

Manutactui iiig conventions may dev elop that clearly del ineate w hich cap goes on w hich neck Foi example a hexagonal oi l ed displacement matter cap extenoi w ou ld make it look and feel ditfei ent trom the usable material cap. Manutactui ers w ould add tampei pi oot caps

Caps vv ith simple valves ai e cui i entlv used on conventional containers such as those tound on conventional shampoo bott les and body lotions By pressing a spot on the cap. the valve opens and material can be delivered by turning the bott le upside dow n and squeezing These simple cap valves and the various sty les ot them can be fitted to volumeinc displacement devices

One piece caps can be made that do no l equire a separate seal to be made I onventioπal toothpaste tubes currentlv ai e made ill is w av that is w uh a one piece cap

C aps w ou ld hav e a vanetv ot attachment mechanisms Caps can pressui e tit into the neck opening as corks in w ine bottle do 1 hev can be clamped on

Thei e is an enoi mous variety ot valves av ailable that wou ld woi k at the v ai ions valved locations on the devices presented C aps that tightly seal, valves, ball valves, controllable valves, spigots, faucets, cocks, petcocks, stopcocks, caps w ith vv ith valv es, and one w ay v alves are some examples

Valves can be tit to spigots, taps installed at virtually any location in the containei wall, serving to dram or fill either the displacement matter chamber or the usable material chambei 1 hev can be installed at the top or at the bottom ot the containei Exit and entrance location tor volumetric displacement de ices are largely irrelevant since the chambers w hen in the f ull state, act as it thev are tull Flu id flows out openings in virtually any direction at any location that the container has been tapped

A variety ot valves can be envisioned at the spout. One way valves, and valves that open upon activation, might each prove to be useful. The spout can be made and used with no valve in it. With no valve, the material would simply flow out in pt opoi tion to the amount ot displacemeni mattei added, although no specific seal would exist to prevent slight air contamination ot the unused usable material

With a usei control led on 'off valve, higher water pressure could be maintained and the flow of paint would be quickei A completely contaminant tree usable material could be maintained Many sorts and styles of valve

control are possible including buttons, levers, faucets, stopcocks, electric control and more. Spout and Displacement Tube Variation Ramifications.

The spout passage ay could be made very narrow . If it were narrow enough, the need lor a valve w ould be reduced as no atmospheric an could entei the spout passageway to displace the usable material in the passageway. The effect described here is the same as when a finger is held over the upper end of a filled soda straw, or pipette tube No air can enter the narrow passage ay with material present it

The displacement tube can be made taller to increase the delivery pressure of the usable material out the spout of the paint saver dev ice I he spout can also be made with a very wide mouth to admit water easily. It can be made funnel like. Container Vent Variation Ramifications.

Containers that pour then contents, liequently have vents that allow air into the container as ihe usable material is poured out This prevents the containei liom "ghigging" as the material tries to exit, at the same time air is trying to get in. The incoming an and ihe fluid compete tor the opening A typical way to avoid this problem is exhibited by a gas containei w ith two openings, one to pour gas out. the other to admit air An otherwise sealed container with a cock at the bottom w ill necessarily require a vent, generally at the top of the container to admit air.

In geneial. the volumeinc displacement device is admitting displacement material in operation, whether air, water or some other mattei I he admittance ol the displacement matter eliminates the need for an extra vent, other than what has alieady been installed loi the displacement device

The volumeinc displacemeni dev ice alters the need for the air vent in a containei Extra Variation Ramifications.

Appropi niie mixing dev ices incoipoiaied into containeis would allow loi mixing ihe contents and never allowing any contamination to entet the usable material chambei A sealed entrance into the usable material chambei. eithei loi electi ic w ne oi impeller crank, uld provide a means to mix the contents of the container. An extremely neat and mess tree operation could thus be achieved. Environment Variation Ramifications.

Not only w ill ihis dev ice protect usable material from air. a device employ mg this technology might be emptied in a bath ol other materials w ithout the materials of the bath contaminating the chemical. Dispensing of material underwater, in othei mateiial baihs and in space are examples

The technology can be used in containeis tor the prevention of freezei bum Thai is. materials stored in partially full containeis that aie placed in lieezmg em ironmeiits. w ill not loose w ter to the atmosphere, il the volumetric displacemeni device is installed in the container Scope.

Thus the scope of the invention should be determined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples given
