Abstract: A battery cable connector connects a battery cable to a battery post. The connector comprises first and second outer connector portions and a third intermediate connector portion trapped between the first and second connector portions. The first and third connector portions have opposing battery post receiving recesses. The second connector portion is adjustably secured to the first connector portion by a threaded adjustment on which the third connector portion is slideably mounted. Also provided is a pusher member movable to and from a connector tightening position. The threaded adjustment provides an initial tightening of the connector around the post with the pusher member away from the tightening position. The pusher member is then moved to the tightening position where it pushes the third connector portion away from the second connector portion and towards the first connector portion to provide a tight fit of the first and third connector portions around the battery post.

Abstract: A prepared package for use with a water heating device makes a liquid containing product. The package has an upper water containing chamber and a lower product ingredients containing chamber. The upper and lower chambers are completely separated from one another by a permanent liquid impervious membrane. The package includes a water outlet from the upper chamber and a water inlet to the lower chamber. The water inlet and the water outlet of the package have openable seals and are sized and orientated to fit with a water inlet and water outlet respectively of the water heating device to provide fluid communication between the package and the water heating device such that upon opening the seals, water flows from the upper chamber of the package through the water heating device and into the lower chamber of the package enabling heated water to mix with the product ingredients in making the product.

Abstract: A prepared package for a hot beverage serving comprises an upper sealed liquid containing chamber, a lower beverage ingredient containing chamber with the upper and lower chambers being separated by a permanent liquid impervious membrane. The package further includes a sealed outlet from the upper chamber, a separate inlet to the lower chamber and a bottom spout from the lower chamber. In using the package the liquid from the upper chamber bypasses the membrane out through the outlet to a liquid heating device which then returns the heated liquid through the inlet to the lower chamber where the liquid mixes with the beverage ingredients and drains downwardly through the bottom spout.
