  • Publication number: 20210347624
    Abstract: A liquid dispensing system comprises a container enclosing a chamber. A flexible bag in the chamber contains a first liquid. First and second conduits are contained in the chamber. The first conduit connects the chamber to an outlet port in the container were the second conduit connects the bag to the first conduit. A supply source introduces a pressurized second liquid into the chamber. The first conduit serves to direct an exiting flow of the second liquid from the chamber to the outlet port, with the pressurized second liquid serving to collapse the bag and expel the first liquid contained therein via the second conduit to the first conduit for mixture with the exiting flow of the second liquid. The second conduit lacks flow restrictions, such as metering orifices or the like.

  • Patent number: 10099588
    Abstract: An armrest unit is disclosed that is selectively moveable between a first configuration, whereby the armrest is used as a traditional armrest, and a second configuration whereby the armrest is usable as a writing surface. The armrest unit comprises an armrest and a mounting pin. The armrest has a first section constructed of a compressible material and a second section connected to one side of the first section and constructed of a non-compressible material. The mounting pin engages a mounting channel in the armrest. The armrest is selectively rotatable about the mounting pin to move the armrest 180° between the first configuration and the second configuration. A method of operating the armrest unit is also disclosed.
