Abstract: A pre-packaged, flexible container of ice and air is disclosed. The pre-packaged, flexible container includes a first member having a hermetically sealed outer periphery which encloses a cavity. The cavity has a volume of less than about 20 cubic inches. The flexible container also includes ice and air contained within the cavity. The ice is present as an individual piece or as multiple pieces. The remainder of the cavity is occupied by air. The air fills at least about 50% of the volume of the cavity. Furthermore, the container, ice and air have a combined weight of less than about 5 ounces.

Abstract: A protector assembly for a roll cage on a vehicle. The protector assembly includes a roll cage having a pair of uprights, each of the uprights having a first end secured to the vehicle and a second end secured to a roof member. Each of the uprights also has an outer surface facing outward away from the vehicle. A removable insert is secured to the outer surface of each of the uprights and protects the uprights from coming in contact with another member and being worn down.

Abstract: A method of forming a pre-packaged container of ice and air is disclosed. The method includes forming a first member and a second member from a plastic material. The first and second members are physically overlapped one upon the other to establish a coterminuous outer periphery. A seal is formed about a portion of the outer periphery to form a void area. The seal extends from between about 50% to about 80% around the outer periphery and the unsealed portion of the periphery forms an inlet to the void area. Air is introduced through the inlet to create a cavity having a preselected volume. Individual pieces of ice are inserted into the cavity through the inlet. The method further includes sealing the inlet to form a pre-packaged, flexible container of ice and air. The air occupies at least about 50% of the volume of the cavity.

Abstract: A method of serving a drink to a person is disclosed. The method includes the steps of supplying the person with a drinking vessel having a closed bottom, an open top, and a sidewall extending between the bottom and the top. The drinking vessel is capable of holding a predetermined volume of liquid. The person is also supplied with a pre-packaged, flexible container of ice and air. The container has a volume of less than about 20 cubic inches. The method further includes supplying the person with a liquid which can be poured through the open top of the drinking vessel.

Abstract: A forklift rollcage protector has a housing, attached to a forklift rollcage, and an insert which has a length dimension, an inwardly facing surface and an outwardly facing surface. The inwardly facing surface of the insert communicates with an outwardly facing surface of the housing. The outwardly facing surface of the insert faces generally outwardly away from the housing and the rollcage. The insert removably interfaces with the housing and generally attenuates scraping, cutting, and/or other wear of the rollcage.
