Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005012104A2] The invention relates to a multiple coupling closure (120, 120') which ensures a reversible substentially tight with respect to environment closure and is used for substentially tight with respect to environment filling and/or transferring of bulk products from flexible and/or rigid containers or conveying means, in particular pipe sections comprising at least two coupling closures (101, 101'; 110, 110') which are assembled or assembleable to each other, in particular in a manner substentially tight with respect to environment, respectively through at least partially flexible and/or rigid conveying means (102, 202), in particular through a pipe, wherein the opening surface, in particular of the inner diameter of the first open coupling closure (101, 101'), is larger than the external and/or internal peripherial surface of the second coupling closure (110, 110'). When the first coupling closure (101) is open, said second coupling closure (110) is docked, in particular in a manner substentially tight with respect to environment associated with the formation of a docking device, to the corresponding coupling closure (110') inside conveying means (102, 202), and/or during at least partial pass through the opening of the first coupling closure (101). Said invention also relates to a multiple docking device comprising said multiple coupling closure and a container and conveying means each of which also comprises said multiple coupling closure. The invention also relates to a method for filling, transferring and/or emptying, in particular substentially tight with respect to environment, flexible or rigid containers and to a method for using the inventive multiple coupling closure.
