## Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for conveying and dispensing liquid or viscous substances comprising a bag and compressible storage device, having an opening for dispensing a substance, and a structure of the support provided with at least two walls that define a containment chamber for storage. The storage device is arrangeable within the containment chamber in the transport phase and in the delivery phase of the liquid or viscous substances and comprises a spacing device inside the opening and adapted to avoid obstruction during the compression of the bag. The support structure is provided with a rigid frame and can be removed to minimize the volume of the system of transport when the storage device is compressed.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A transport and delivery system (10; 20) of liquid or viscous substances comprising:
a bag-type and compressible storing device (110) of said liquid or viscous substances, said storing device (110) comprising at least one opening (115) for the delivery of said liquid or viscous substances;
a carrier body (210) provided with at least two opposite stiff walls (212, 213), said carrier body (210) defining a storing chamber of said storing device (110) between said opposite stiff walls (212, 213);
wherein said storing device (110) is able to be arranged within said storing chamber in the transport phase and in the delivery phase of said liquid or viscous substances;
said transport and delivery system (10; 20) of liquid or viscous substances is characterized in that said carrier body (210) is provided with a stiff framework (211), wherein said opposite stiff walls (212, 213) are operatively connected to said stiff framework (211), and wherein said storing device (110) of said liquid or viscous substances comprises a spacing device (150) arranged within said storing device (110) at said opening (115) and able to avoid the clog of said opening (115) during compression of said bag, and wherein said carrier body (210) is demountable to minimize the volume of said transport system (10; 20) when said storing device (110) is completely compressed after said delivery phase.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Transport and delivery system (10; 20) of liquid or viscous substances according to claim 1, wherein said spacing device (150) is a grid, preferably made of metal material or plastic material.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

Transport and delivery system (10; 20) of liquid or viscous substances according to claim 1, wherein said opposite stiff walls (212, 213) have, when in use in said transport phase, a fixed spacing such as to define the maximum volume of said storing chamber, and,
wherein said opposite stiff walls (212, 213) have, when in use in said delivery phase, a variable spacing between said maximum position and a minimum position for the delivery of said liquid or viscous substances by said compression of the bag, said maximum position corresponds to said maximum volume of said storing chamber and said minimum position corresponds to the minimum volume of said storing chamber.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

Transport and delivery system (10; 20) of liquid or viscous substances according to claim 3, wherein said opposite stiff walls (212, 213) define, when in use in said delivery phase, a fixed wall (212) and a movable wall (213) with respect to said fixed wall (212) such as to allow said variable spacing.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

Transport and delivery system (10) of liquid or viscous substances according to claim 4, wherein said carrier body (210) comprises said stiff framework (211) coupled to said fixed wall (212) and on which said movable wall (213) is able to move in the direction of said fixed wall (212) by gravity.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

Transport and delivery system (20) of liquid or viscous substances according to claim 4, wherein said carrier body (210) comprises said stiff framework (211) coupled to said fixed wall (212) and on which said movable wall (213) is able to move in the direction of said fixed wall (212), and wherein said transport and delivery system (20) comprises movement means (400) able to move said movable wall (213) in the direction of said fixed wall (212), wherein said movement means (400) comprise a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder (420).

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

Transport and delivery system (10; 20) of liquid or viscous substances according to claim 1, wherein said stiff framework (211) is made of metal material or plastic material, and said opposite stiff walls (212, 213) are made of wood or paper material.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

Transport and delivery system (10; 20) of liquid or viscous substances according to claim 1, wherein said carrier body (210) is entirely made of wood or paper material.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

Transport and delivery system (10; 20) of liquid or viscous substances according to claim 1, wherein said storing device (110) is of the liquid-tight type and made of plastic or multilayer material comprising at least one plastic layer.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

Transport and delivery system (10; 20) of liquid or viscous substances according to claim 1, wherein said carrier body (210) is provided with a delivery device operatively connected to said opening (115) of said storing device (110), and
wherein said delivery device is provided with heating means of said liquid or viscous substance to be delivered.
