  • Patent number: 10829724
    Abstract: A container assembly (10) for retaining a liquid (16) during aging of the liquid (16) comprises a container (12) and an oxygenator (230). The container (12) includes a container body (14) that defines a chamber (14A) that receives and retains the liquid (16). The oxygenator (230) is positioned substantially within the chamber (14A). The oxygenator (230) includes a fluid source (662), one or more diffusers (672), and a valve (670). The one or more diffusers (672) are in fluid communication with the fluid source (662). The valve (670) selectively controls the introduction of a fluid from the fluid source (662) into the liquid (16) through the one or more diffusers (672). The container assembly (10) further comprises an insert retainer assembly (338) and one or more flavor inserts (440) that are received and retained by the insert retainer assembly (338). The container (12) further includes a container aperture (20) that extends through the container body (14).

  • Patent number: 10370628
    Abstract: A container assembly (10) for retaining a liquid (14) during aging of the liquid (14) includes a container (12), a first flavor insert (16), and an insert retainer assembly (18). The container (12) defines a chamber (12A) which receives and retains the liquid (14). The first flavor insert (16) imparts a flavor on the liquid (14). The insert retainer assembly (18) is positioned within the chamber (12A) and is secured to the container (12). The insert retainer assembly (18) includes an alignment rack (30) and a retainer rack (32). The alignment rack (30) includes a first alignment guide (30C) that guides the first flavor insert (16) during positioning of the first flavor insert (16) within the container (12). The retainer rack (32) has a first attacher (32C) that selectively and individually engages the first flavor insert (16) to inhibit large scale movement of the first flavor insert (16) relative to the retainer rack (32).

  • Publication number: 20100170040
    Abstract: A body support assembly (326A) for supporting the body of a user of a massage device (10) includes a frame (334), a pad assembly (336) and a cover assembly (338). The pad assembly (336) is supported by the frame (334). The cover assembly (338) secures the pad assembly (336) to the frame (334). The cover assembly (338) includes a top cover section (360), a bottom cover section (362), and a section connector (364). The section connector (364) selectively moves between an open configuration and a closed configuration. When the section connector (364) is in the open configuration, the top cover section (360) is not directly connected to the bottom cover section (362). When the section connector (364) is in the closed configuration, the top cover section (360) is directly connected to the bottom cover section (362). The cover assembly (338) can further include a middle cover section (366) that is connected to the top cover section (360) and the bottom cover section (362).

  • Patent number: 7284476
    Abstract: A container assembly (10) for retaining a liquid (16) during aging of the liquid (16) includes a container (12), a flavor insert (224) and an insert retainer (222). The container (12) defines a chamber (226) that retains the liquid (16). Further, the container (12) includes a wall (228A) having a container opening (228D) and a movable section (18) that selectively closes the container opening (228D). The flavor insert (224) imparts a flavor on the liquid (16). The insert retainer (222) is positioned in the chamber (226). The insert retainer (222) selectively retains the flavor insert (224) in the chamber (226) so that the flavor insert (224) can selectively removed from the insert retainer (222) and the container (12) via the container opening (228D) when the container (12) retains the liquid (16). In one embodiment, the flavor insert (224) can be selectively inserted into the insert retainer (222) via the container opening (228D) when the container (12) is retaining the liquid (16).
