Patent number: 10582791Abstract: A beverage-retaining insert is used to retain and orient a smaller beverage container, including but not limited to a soda can or beer bottle, within a larger beverage container, including but not limited to a tumbler, thermos, or travel mug. The larger beverage container is herein referred to as the tumbler. The apparatus is also configured to prevent damage and unwanted shifting or movement of the bottle or can relative to the tumbler. The apparatus includes a retaining lip, a tubular brace, a tubular cushion, and a sealing mechanism. The retaining lip positions the apparatus atop a tumbler. The tubular brace enables arrangement of the apparatus within a tumbler. The tubular cushion provides support for a beverage container. The sealing mechanism retains the position of the present invention against the inside of a tumbler. Thus, the apparatus efficiently and effectively retrofits a tumbler to enable support of a beverage container.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Inventor: Joel Edward Stevens

Publication number: 20200069902Abstract: A patient interface is configured to deliver a flow of pressurized breathable gas to a patient's airways. The patient interface includes a central portion with an opening configured to deliver the pressurized breathable gas to the patient's nares. A first stabilizing portion extends from the central portion and is structured to engage an outer side of a respective one of the patient's nostrils. A second stabilizing portion is opposite the first stabilizing portion and extends from the central portion. In addition, the second stabilizing surface is structured to engage an outer side of a respective one of the patient's nostrils. The central portion, the first stabilizing portion and the second stabilizing portion cooperate to form a U-shape configured to cradle the patient's nose so that the tip of the patient's nose remains exposed when the patient interface is mounted on the patient's face.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2019Publication date: March 5, 2020Inventors: Michiel KOOIJ, Scott Alexander HOWARD, Justin John FORMICA, Gerard Michael RUMMERY, Renee Frances FLOWER, Adam Francis BARLOW, Joel Edward GIBSON, Damien Julian MAZZONE, Aaron Samuel DAVIDSON, Bernd Christoph LANG, Achim BIENER, Michael John REID, Dieter HEIDMANN
