  • Patent number: 11172772
    Abstract: A beverage container is disclosed with a cap body having an upper straw with an incorporated valve that moves upward and downward to toggle between an open and closed position and a lower straw that is stationary within the cap body. Hermetic seals are formed between the straw bodies and cap body that allow the proper operation of a straw that opens, allowing fluid to flow through the straw bodies, and closes, stopping the flow of fluid through the straw bodies.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10639527
    Abstract: A golf equipment cleaning device is provided wherein the cleaning device selectively expels a pressurized fluid that a golfer may use at any point on the golf course. A golfer may use a hand pump to pressurize a container that comprises a fluid. Then, the golfer may release the pressurized fluid through the end of a bristled brush such that the golfer may scrub a golf ball or golf club with a bristled brush and a pressurized fluid.

  • Publication number: 20200002064
    Abstract: A fluid container is disclosed with a cap body made of rigid or semi rigid material and a valve body disposed within the cap body and movable between and open and closed position. The valve body is made of a semi flexible semi rigid material that has a coefficient of thermal linear expansion that is smaller than that of the cap body. The cap body and nozzle valve are configured with three different hermetic seals to counteract the effects of exposure to heat and cold over time and thereby extend the useful life of the cap and valve.

  • Publication number: 20050242147
    Abstract: This disassembly of a pre-cut block of packaging material into component pieces and the selective dispensing of the component pieces is accomplished by a mechanism including a disassembling apparatus and a dispensing apparatus surrounded by a housing. The disassembling apparatus accepts individual pre-cut blocks from a queue and compresses a portion of the respective pre-cut block to cause separation into the plurality of component pieces. The plurality of component pieces then fall into the dispensing apparatus, which selectively dispenses the pieces separated as desired by a user.

  • Publication number: 20010022719
    Abstract: A computer housing or case contains computer system components including a display unit, a processor, and a computer power supply unit. One or more handles are positioned at a side of the case to allow a user to hold the encased computer system while viewing the display. A case has a support interface structure to hold the case steady in an upright position. The support interface structure of the case mates with a complimentary support interface in the weight-supporting base unit and mates with guides to align a power supply port in the case to contact a power supply port in the base unit. A base unit has a keyboard guide to receive a keyboard by lifting the keyboard above a support surface. A modular computer system comprises a tablet computer, a base unit, and a remote keyboard. A first infrared communication device couples the tablet computer to the remote keyboard and other input peripherals. A second infrared communication device couples the tablet computer to a remote printer.
