Abstract

A bulk filling station, for dispensing containers filled with a predetermined quantity of a bulk liquid, stores the plastic containers in an empty condition, having hinged closures installed thereon. The operation of filling the containers, individually, is carried out by the subject apparatus, including the steps of feeding and selecting an individual container, positioning the container, opening the closure thereon, filling the container with a predetermined quantity from a bulk supply, closing the container and delivering it to the vending station. The preferred closure incorporates a child-resistant safety lid to permit the dispensing of noxious substances.
