  • Publication number: 20170001763
    Abstract: A bottle includes a reservoir including protrusions on a neck, each protrusion having a horizontal latch, an inclined surface on a bottom of the latch, and a recess between the inclined surface and the protrusion; a cap including an inner top wall, an internal annular wall, and projections on an inner surface of the annular wall; and a disc shaped sealing member including a raised edge and flexible elements on a top. The sealing member is in the cap to engage the open ends of the flexible elements with the top wall and rest the raised edge on the engagement surfaces of the projections. In response to rotating the cap on the neck, the projections ride along the inclined surfaces to be locked in the recesses, the open ends of the flexible elements urge against the top wall, and the sealing member is airtightly disposed on the neck.

  • Patent number: 6969115
    Abstract: An adjustable lumbar support assembly for a seat has a curved lumbar support member that is made from a plastic material and an adjustment mechanism operatively connected to the curved lumbar support member for adjusting between various degrees of curvature. The curved lumbar support member may include a plurality of reinforcing ribs that allow a greater degree of curvature adjacent one end of the element than the degree of curvature adjacent the other end of the element. The reinforcing ribs allow for varying degrees of curvature because the cross section of the ribs varies. Further, the reinforcing ribs are integral with the curved lumbar support member. The adjustable lumbar assembly could also include at least one resilient metal strap connected to the curved lumbar support member that allows a greater degree of curvature adjacent one end of the curved lumbar support member than the degree of curvature adjacent the other end of the element.
