A valve is provided which includes a valve body having a passageway from an inlet end to an outlet end and a tapered annular valve seat intermediate the ends, a plastic poppet being provided with a disc portion and a tapered portion which can engage the valve seat, the tapered part being stepped to provide a deflectable outer edge portion, the poppet including three beams which extend toward the inlet end of the body and are bent outwardly to enter a groove in the valve body, thereby providing resilient means to bias the poppet to a closed position. The valve body includes a transverse wall adjacent the valve seat, the wall having openings for allowing flow through the passageway and also including an opening that receives a post projecting from the poppet toward the outlet end and beyond the wall for engagement by a mating connector to displace the poppet to its open position.

Valve with integral plastic spring for poppet

A filling nozzle for liquid or viscous material includes an outlet conduit through which the material flows, a valve mechanism that fits into the conduit to close the conduit, a knife edge connected to the valve mechanism, so that as the valve mechanism moves through the conduit the knife edge scrapes the interior surface of the nozzle and makes a wiping cut of any fibers or lumps in the material being dispensed through the nozzle, and an outlet in the valve mechanism so that a blast of pressurized gas can be directed through the valve mechanism to discharge any material remaining in the conduit downstream of the valve mechanism and knife edge.

A device for filling containers through a spout on the container includes a sterile chamber that has an opening in a wall through which the spout of the container may be inserted into the chamber, a filling head inside the chamber for connecting with the spout and filling the container through the spout, a cup-shaped cap inside the chamber that covers the opening in the wall to substantially prevent the escape of a sterile gas from the chamber when the spout is not in the opening, a fluid spray head inside the cup-shaped cap for sterilizing the spout before it is exposed to the sterile chamber, and a pair of jaws that fit around the spout when the spout is in the opening to substantially prevent the escape of the sterile gas during the filing operation when the cap is removed.
