(57) The drawings and description disclose a liquid filler arrangement including upper
and main bodies and a lower sleeve nozzle, with a diaphragm assembly mounted between
the main and upper bodies and an inlet formed in the side of the main body. Combined
valve and orifice means are operatively positioned substantially at the juncture of
the main body and the sleeve nozzle, and one of a diffuser, a lip seal, or a valve
is located at the bottom end of the sleeve nozzle, each of which supports a column
of liquid product, the diffuser and lip seal by capillary action, and the valve by
virtue of being closed. Upon a measured volume of liquid product being pumped into
the side inlet by a remote time piston means, an equivalent measured volume is discharged
from the sleeve nozzle through its diffuser or opened lip seal or valve into a container
which may be mounted around the sleeve nozzle and filled as it is being pulled from
around the sleeve nozzle by suitable external means.
