Patent number: 9834338Abstract: A fluid preservation device, for preserving a liquid within a container, which includes an elongated member with a proximal end and a distal end and an inner shaft and an outer shaft. The outer shaft and inner shaft are attached to an expandable sealing member. The expandable sealing member has an expanded state and a collapsed state and a state change mechanism attached to the proximal end of the elongated member to change the state of the expandable sealing member between the expanded state and the collapsed state. When the expandable sealing member is in the collapsed state, it can pass through an opening of a container and when the expandable sealing member is in the expanded state it is big enough to contact the inner surface of the container near the surface of the liquid.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2016Date of Patent: December 5, 2017Assignee: Smart Assets, Inc.Inventor: Michelle Arney

Publication number: 20160073764Abstract: An applicator bottle and method for use is provided which allows orientation of the applicator tip when the applicator tip is in the bottle. Indicators on the top of the applicator indicate the orientation of the applicator tip, where the applicator tip is wider than it is long. This allows better control of fluid application with the applicator.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2015Publication date: March 17, 2016Applicant: Smart Assets, Inc.Inventor: Michelle Arney

Patent number: 9226561Abstract: An applicator bottle design which allows significantly less fluid to be wasted than previous designs. The design includes a reservoir or indentation for the applicator while the top of the bottle is screwed on. When the bottle is unscrewed, or in use, the applicator can reach more fluid in the bottle so that less fluid is wasted than with conventional applicator bottles.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Smart Assets, Inc.Inventor: Michelle Arney

Patent number: 8820551Abstract: A fluid preservation system for use with a container containing both fluid and gas where there exists a transition between the fluid and the gas and where the container has an opening with a first inside diameter and a first inner surface and a body with a second inside diameter and a second inner surface. The fluid preservation system comprises an elongated member with a proximal end and a distal end, an expandable sealing member near the distal end of the elongated member, where the expandable sealing member has an expanded state and a compressed state. Means to change the expanded sealing member between the expanded state and the compressed state is located near the proximal end of the elongated member. The expandable sealing member in the expanded state is in contract with the second inner surface of the container near the transition between the fluid and the gas. The expandable sealing member in the compressed state is able to pass through the first inside diameter of the opening of the container.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2010Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Smart Assets, Inc.Inventor: Michelle Arney
