  • Publication number: 20090218357
    Abstract: An insulated multi compartment multi lid fluid storage device capable of multiple configurations to provide for different ratios of stored fluids. The device allows for individual fluids to be stored separately from one another. In addition, the device has a tapered bottom and is largely characterized by textured surfaces. More specifically, the contours of the devices lend themselves to fitting within vehicle cup holders and the like. Finally, the device is comprised of thermo-insulating material so that stored fluids can maintain a near constant temperature for relatively long periods of time.

  • Patent number: 7356853
    Abstract: A sports activity protection apparatus and method of use. The apparatus of the present invention is characterized by a multi-layer padded member and a belt member. The padded member is shaped to offer protection of the abdominal area, including the solar plexus and upper groin region. The padded member contains different layers for absorbing and distributing shock, ensuring flexibility, and providing for a lightweight apparatus. Individual layers are comprised of air-filled bladders, a low density material, foam material, and nylon or similar material. The belt member, preferably comprised of an elastic material, extends between each end of the padded member to be secured about the waist of the user.
