By providing a securely locked product dispensing valve assembly mounted to a product bearing container which requires a specially constructed cooperating adapter for opening the valve assembly, a controlled dispensing system is realized which provides complete controlled distribution of any desired chemical product. By employing the present invention, only authorized personnel are able to open the container incorporating the valve assembly, enabling the contents to be transferred into only suitable containers incorporating the required adapter for unlocking the valve assembly. As a result, control over the distribution of the chemical product is attained and a completely closed loop, spill-free system is realized. In addition, a rinsing head is provided for being cooperatively associated with the product bearing container and valve assembly to enable complete cleaning of the container prior to recycling.

[ We claim:] [1.] A dispensing or distribution system for controllably delivering concentrated material from a portal bearing storage container to a dilution vessel, said dispensing/distribution system comprising a product dispensing valve assembly securely affixed to the storage container for the concentrated material and an adapter integrally attached to a dilution vessel for receiving the concentrated material, said product dispensing valve assembly comprising:A. a securing ring/collar constructed for being mounted to a storage container and maintaining the valve assembly in secure, mounted engagement with a dispensing portal of the container;B. a housing cooperatively associated with the collar and constructed for being inserted into the portal of the container, cooperating therewith to enable the material contained in the container to pass through the housing, and comprisinga. a plurality of cam tracks formed therein constructed for controlled, cooperating engagement with a valve member by defining a travel path for said valve member,b. a plurality of radially extending locking fins constructed for cooperative interengaged relationship with the adapter attached to the dilution vessel, andc. a sealing surface integrally formed on the housing and constructed for mating, sealing engagement with the valve member; andC. a valve member positioned within the housing for cooperative, arcuate, pivoting and axially longitudinal movement relative thereto, said valve member comprisinga. a body portion,b. a plurality of radially extending fingers, each being separately mounted in one of said cam tracks formed in the housing and constructed for movement in said cam tracks,c. a receiving zone formed in one end of said body portion and constructed for mating, engaged receipt of an activating pin or key for controllably moving the valve member relative to the housing along the travel path defined by the cam tracks, andd. a sealing edge extending from the body portion and constructed for mating, sealing engagement with the sealing surface of the housing for preventing passage of any material when the valve member is in a first closed position and allowing passage of the material when the valve member is in a second open position, reby a product dispensing valve assembly is attained which is securely affixed to a storage container for preventing the transfer of material therefrom until said valve member is moved into an open position when activated by the activating pin or key.
