A filling apparatus 1 is made up of a gas passage 14 connected to a storage tank 31 via a connection passage 14a, a first gas valve 35 that opens and closes the gas passage, a pressure gas passage 41 connected to a pressure gas supply source, a pressure gas valve 42 that opens and closes the pressur
A filling apparatus 1 is made up of a gas passage 14 connected to a storage tank 31 via a connection passage 14a, a first gas valve 35 that opens and closes the gas passage, a pressure gas passage 41 connected to a pressure gas supply source, a pressure gas valve 42 that opens and closes the pressure gas passage, an exhaust passage 43 that allows an interior of a container 4 to communicate with the exterior thereof, and an exhaust valve 44 that opens and closes the exhaust passage. With this filling apparatus, before a pressurized filling operation, both the gas passage and the pressure gas passage are opened to pressurize the interior of the container with a carbonated gas supplied through both passages. Further, also before a unpressurized filling operation, both the gas passage and the pressure gas passage are opened to perform a flushing operation in which droplets are discharged from the gas passage with air exhausted from the container into the storage tank via the gas passage. Then, after the filling operation, both the gas passage and the exhaust passage are opened to discharge a certain amount of filling liquid remaining in the gas passage, into the container.

The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the pulling member further comprises a screw powered housing which contains an angled slot with a movable jaw therein. 13. The apparatus of claim 12 further comprising a stationary gripper located near a clamp entry port, said stationary gripper having a movable jaw to hold a segment of a tightened clamp. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein the motor further comprises an ON/OFF and FORWARD/REVERSE switch, wherein the FORWARD mode powers the pulling member rearward, thereby pulling and tensioning the clamp, the reverse switch powers the pulling element forward, forcing a cutter into the clamp segment, and resetting the tool for the next clamp. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the cutter has a pivot and a lever arm, and the pulling member housing forces the lever arm to activate the cutter. 16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the pulling member housing has a clamp exit port to allow the clamp segment to leave the housing in the REVERSE-RESET mode. 17. The apparatus of claim 14 further comprising a gear assembly and a variable torque clutch to enable a range of clamp widths to be applied. 18. The apparatus of claim 17 further comprising a free end clamp adapter to removably fasten adjacent to an entry port of the housing. 19. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the motor is a DC type, and the housing receives a battery pack. 20. The apparatus of claim 11 further comprising a bench mount for the housing, an AC-DC converter, a foot switch controller and a DC input port on the housing. 21. A clamp applicator comprising: a housing having a motor, a clamp entry port, a pulling member means functioning to pull a clamp segment away from the clamp entry port via a linkage to the motor; and a cutter means function to cut the clamp segment via a linkage to the motor. 22. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the cutter means further comprises a pivotable arm having a cutting end and a lever end, and the linkage to the motor further comprises a gear assembly moving the pulling member means against the lever end. 23. The apparatus of claim 22 further comprising a stationary gripper means function to hold the clamp segment during a cutting operation. 24. The apparatus of claim 21, wherein the motor is a DC type, and the housing receives a battery pack. 25. The apparatus of claim 24 further comprising a bench mount, and AC/DC converter, a DC port on the housing and a foot activated controller for the motor. 26. The apparatus of claim 21 further comprising a free end clamp adapter removably attachable adjacent to an entry port of the housing. 27. The apparatus of claim 21 further comprising a variable torque transmission means for the motor to transmit an adjustable force to the pulling member means, thereby enabling an application of various width clamps.
