Abstract: A container for storing liquefied gas and for delivering the liquefied gas in either gas or liquid form is provided, the container having an inner vessel which holds the liquefied gas and an outer shell spaced apart therefrom, creating an evacuable spae between the inner vessel and outer shell. The inner vessel is suspended from the outer shell by a necktube. An upper necktube support structure which minimizes necktube damage or rupture from impact or other lateral forces includes a lateral support disc extending across a space between a cylindrical collar surrounding a portion of the necktube and the interior surface of the upper head of the outer vessel. The lateral support disc and the cylindrical collar are spaced apart by an insulative annular sleeve, while the disc is supported at its peripheral edge on insulative bosses and is spaced from an insulative ring extending around the circumference of the interior surface to provide a double heat break.

Abstract: A portable cryogenic liquid storage-gas supply system including an evacuable double-walled cryogenic liquid container being invertible between a top-up dispensing and bottom-up filling positions wherein the container comprises a liquid withdrawal-gas vent tube terminating within the container near the bottom end, a gas vent-liquid fill tube positioned within and penetrating the wall of the liquid withdrawal-gas vent tube and terminating within the container near the top end, and a splash deflector within the container for redirecting a fluid discharged from the gas vent-liquid fill tube toward the container top end during liquid fill of the container.

Abstract: Apparatus for termination of cryogenic liquid transfer from a liquid supply container to a storage-dispensing container.
