B65D 33/02

US Classification:

383 80, 383906, 383 66, 383119, 383 25

Abstract:

A reservoir system for preserving the chemical stability and, therefore, the flavor of fluids is disclosed. The reservoir system can include a bag having a lining around a reservoir. The reservoir can have a reservoir port. The reservoir system can have a screw cap with a port for receiving a nozzle. The screw cap can be attached to the reservoir port. The nozzle can sealably attach to the cap. The nozzle can also sealably attach to a hose. The reservoir port and reservoir can be configured to maximize drainage of the reservoir, for example when the reservoir is turned reservoir port-side-down.

International Classification:

A61F 7/00

Abstract:

Devices, systems, and methods herein relate to cooling a head of a patient. These systems and methods may comprise a cooling cap assembly comprising a heat exchanger configured to be wrapped around a head of a patient and a compression assembly releasably coupled to the heat exchanger. The compression assembly may comprise an enclosure and an inflatable member coupled to an internal surface of the enclosure. When coupled, the inflatable member may be positioned between the enclosure and the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger may be separate from and moveable relative to the inflatable member.

Inventors:

- Oakland CA, US
Samuel M. LOPEZ - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Hydrapak, Inc. - Oakland CA

International Classification:

A45F 3/18
A45F 3/20

Abstract:

A container for holding and delivering liquids is disclosed. A method of making the same is disclosed. The container can have a molded container top, a molded container bottom, a flexible film reservoir, and a handle extending from the container top to the container bottom. The reservoir can be laterally exposed around the entire circumference of the reservoir along a part of the longitudinal length of the reservoir. A thermally insulated reservoir system is disclosed. The reservoir system can have a bag having a multi-layered bag wall. The bag wall can have a first layer sealed to a second layer. The volume defined between the first layer and the second layer can be partially or completely filled with a fluid insulator, such as air or saline solution. The volume defined between the first layer and the second layer can also or alternately be partially or completely filled with a solid insulator, such as a matted fiber layer.

A45F 3/20
B65D 33/02
B65D 33/01

Abstract:

A system for structurally supporting the interior of a fluid reservoir is disclosed. The reservoir can have a reinforcing brace within the reservoir. The brace can be splittable or separable, which can allow the reservoir to be inverted, for example for easier cleaning. The brace can maintain the shape of the reservoir when the reservoir is filled with liquid, preventing the reservoir from forming a cylindrical cross-section. The control of the shape of the reservoir can prevent or minimize distortion of a backpack which is carrying the reservoir.
