Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for charge-wise dosing a metered volume quantity of liquid medium to be supplied continuously under delivery pressure, comprising a pair of serially connected cylinder-and-piston assemblies of different diameters the cylinder blocks being arranged axially relatively to each other, forming a composite housing; a supply conduit for the flowing medium connected to the smaller diameter cylinder block and a filling nozzle connected to the larger diameter cylinder block and containing a discharge opening; a tube operating as a piston member for reciprocation in the composite housing, which tube is in direct communication with the smaller diameter cylinder block and connected to the larger diameter cylinder block via a passage provided in the larger diameter piston. The tube operating as piston member carries at least the larger diameter piston; a first valve by means of which the passage in the larger diameter piston is closable and a second valve by means of which the access to the filling nozzle is closable; and an assembly for operating the valves and controller therefor.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
An apparatus for charge-wise dosing a metered volume of a flowing medium to be supplied continuously under a delivery pressure comprising: a pair of serially connected cylinders and pistons of different diameters, said cylinders comprising cylinder blocks axially arranged relatively to each other and connected together to form a composite housing; a supply conduit for the flowing medium connected to the smaller diameter cylinder block; a fill-up nozzle having a discharge opening and connected to the larger diameter cylinder block; a tube assembly including said smaller diameter piston, said tube assembly being mounted for reciprocation in the composite housing, said tube assembly being in direct communication with the smaller diameter cylinder block and being connected to the larger diameter cylinder block via a passage provided in the larger diameter piston, and said tube assembly carrying at least the larger diameter piston; a first valve mounted proximate the passage in the larger diameter piston for closing and opening of the passage; a second valve mounted proximate the access to the fill-up nozzle for closing and opening the access to the fill-up nozzle, valve operating means coupled for operation of the valves; and control means coupled to said valve operating means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim

An apparatus for charge-wise dosing a metered volume of a flowing medium to be supplied continuously under a delivery pressure comprising: a pair of serially connected cylinders and pistons of different diameters, said cylinders comprising cylinder blocks axially arranged relatively to each other and connected together to form a composite housing; a supply conduit for the flowing medium connected to the smaller diameter cylinder block; a fill-up nozzle having a discharge opening and connected to the larger diameter cylinder block; a tube assembly including said smaller diameter piston, said tube assembly being mounted for reciprocation in the composite housing, said tube assembly being in direct communication with the smaller diameter cylinder block and being connected to the larger diameter cylinder block via a passage provided in the larger diameter piston, and said tube assembly carrying at least the larger diameter piston; a first valve mounted proximate the passage in the larger diameter piston for closing and opening of the passage; a second valve mounted proximate the access to the fill-up nozzle for closing and opening the access to the fill-up nozzle, valve operating means coupled for operation of the valves; and control means coupled to said valve operating means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
An apparatus according to claim 1 wherein, the fill-up nozzle is connected to a supply conduit for aggregate material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, and follower means coupled to the larger diameter piston and formed to follow its movement, said follower means extending through the larger diameter cylinder block and being connected to at least one dosing unit for operation of said unit therethrough for dosing one or more aggregates of the flowing medium available in the apparatus.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
