Abstract: A water storage and delivery assembly includes stackable compartments, each compartment having a planar bottom wall, opposed side walls, and opposed end walls, forming a reservoir. Frusto-conically shaped conduits having open large first ends are fixed to peripheries of openings in the bottom walls, and open smaller second ends are disposed below upper edges of the side and end walls. The assembly further includes a bottom-most compartment of the same construction but having no openings in the bottom wall thereof. Water poured into a first conduit is flowable through a plurality of first conduits to the bottom-most compartment while air escapes upwardly through a series of second conduits, the water rising until all the compartments of the assembly are filled. Each compartment is provided with an outlet operable to permit the water to travel from a compartment to an exothermic mass.

Abstract: A collapsible and portable work station, comprising a collapsible and portable leg structure and a top portion which may be flat or comprise a basin. The leg structure has a plurality of legs movably attached to each other, each leg having a top end, a bottom end and longitudinally extending axis. The legs are movable to a first configuration wherein the legs are in close proximity to one another such that the longitudinally extending axes of the legs are generally parallel to one another, and to a second configuration wherein the spacing between the legs is maximal. The top portion is removably attached to the top ends of the legs, the top portion comprising two sections movably attached to one another so as to allow the top portion to be folded such that the sections confront each other when the top portion is not attached to the leg structure.

Abstract: A method for making a disposable package for an agent, typically water, activatable substance includes providing a planar support member of a moisture and air barrier material, mounting on the support member a sheet at least in part translucent, sealing all but one edge of the sheet to the support member to provide a pocket fixed to the support member, placing the agent activatable substance in the pocket so as to occupy only a portion of the pocket, folding the support member and pocket upon themselves, and releasably sealing overlying portions of the support member together along all but a folded edge of the support member, to enclose the agent activatable substance, whereby to provide a package which is openable by separating the overlying portions to expose the pocket for introduction of the agent into the pocket to activate the agent activatable substance therein.
