Patent number: 10737927Abstract: There is provided a liquid supply apparatus eliminating the need for a power supply, having relatively light weight and small footprint, and ensuring a stable liquid supply. The liquid supply apparatus includes a first support member, a second support member, a balloon having one end supported by the first support member and the other end supported by the second support member, and a casing having a constant longitudinal length. The balloon is disposed in the casing and is configured so as to be able to hold a liquid therein and discharge the liquid therefrom. When the balloon holds the liquid, the one end and the other end of the balloon are positioned in the case.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2015Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignees: TSUKADA MEDICAL RESEARCH CO., LTD., JAPAN AEROSPACE EXPLORATION AGENCY, MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Osamu Tsukada, Akihiko Nakasa, Kengo Kanai, Masato Shimizu, Haruna Koike, Nami Hatakeyama, Naoki Takizawa, Masaki Shirakawa, Hiroyasu Mizuno, Atsuko Homma, Dai Shiba, Akane Yumoto, Hirochika Murase, Makoto Ohira
