Abstract: A hand-held drinking container for consuming liquids, particularly while a user is engaged in physical activity, such as running, walking or in-line skating. One liquid reservoir (1) forms both the main body (27) and the handle (6) of the container. The user turns a trigger (3) on the outside of the handle (6) so as to enable an internal triggering mechanism (10) to lower a sealer (11) to permit liquid to exit the container via the funnel spout (2) on top of the container. Cushion supports (4) located on the main body (27) press against a back side of the user's hand to allow the user to focus his or her attention on the activity rather than on constantly gripping the container. One or more optional weights (7) can be secured to the bottom of the container by using straps (8) to enhance a workout. An optional flashlight (28) may be secured as well to provide safety for those who prefer exercising when dark.

Abstract: A hand-held drink dispenser has a main housing (1) and a parallel second housing (4) that is a handle. Both are attached to a base plate (7) and covered with a funneled cap (13) having a funnel spout (14) that is sized and shaped to fit in a user's mouth to funnel liquid from a plurality of reservoirs (2, 5) in the main housing and in the second housing. A cushiony support (15) between the handle and the main housing helps hold the dispenser in order to relax holding grip for allowing the user to concentrate on physical activities and other concerns. Separate reservoirs prevent sloshing of the liquid and provide measured output from each of a pair of left-hand and right-hand units while also allowing balance of weight of liquid in each hand. Weight-attachment (16) and item-attachment (18, 19, 20) means are optional.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine air intake comprises an enlarged center body positioned upstream of the engine air inlet. The center body is provided with a drain so that in operation water particles impacting and flowing across the surface of the center body are directed into the interior of the center body. From there the water is drained into a by-pass duct which exhausts the water into the exhaust efflux of the engine to which the intake is attached.

Abstract: An air intake structure for a gas turbine engine comprising a duct having an air inlet at its upstream end for the engine and a generally mushroom-shaped center body. The duct and the center body have circular cross-sections throughout their lengths and are coaxial. The center body has a first stem portion extending into the duct and a second mushroom-shaped portion upstream of the air inlet of the duct, the mushroom-shaped portion having a maximum diameter greater than the diameter of the air inlet. An apertured wall circumferentially extends around the maximum diameter of the second portion of the center body, the apertures of the wall being so dimensioned as to cause any small liquid droplets flowing over the upstream face thereof to coalesce into larger liquid droplets. A step immediately downstream of the apertured wall causes the formed larger droplets to be launched from the center body in a trajectory which avoids the air inlet of the duct.
