Abstract: A disposable beverage bag, filled with beverage material, for use in preparing a beverage in connection with single-serve beverage brewing machines. The beverage bag is preferably made from environmentally-friendly woven or knitted materials that are biodegradable, compostable and/or recyclable, or any other suitable stretchy, water-permeable, eco-friendly material. The beverage bag offers an easy, convenient, cost-effective and mess-free way to prepare beverages, and easy, eco-friendly disposal. The beverage bag can be configured to work with any beverage brewing machine, and it can be filled with any suitable beverage material, including coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. An adapter comprising a gasket and plug can be installed in the beverage machine to allow for the beverage bag to be used without the need for a reusable cup.

Abstract: A fuel hose assembly having an inner and outer hose that have their respective ends secured to a coupling member that retains their ends in spaced apart positions thereby defining separate passageway while permitting the hoses to rotate relative to each other. The coupling member has means for rotating the fuel hose assembly relative to their connection to a fuel dispensing pump and vapor recovery system such that the one hose will convey the liquid fuel while the other hose will convey the fuel vapors that are displaced from the tank being filled with the liquid fuel. Sensing means are provided to prevent the flow of the liquid fuel via the vapor recovery passageways.
