| 20090065081 | Dynamic Orifice Valve Apparatus And Method - In a fluid transmission line, a valve comprising a housing that establishes a lumen for transmission of a fluid through said valve; a drive mechanism and a drive gear mounted in said housing to be selectively driven in a first or second rotational direction by said drive mechanism. The drive gear has a central throughhole and a plurality of pins around the central throughhole. A plurality of leaves are pivotally mounted on the pins, and oriented to extend radially inward into said central throughhole. A fixed extension has an annular aspect disposed in the drive gear, and has a plurality of engagement members disposed to operatively engage one of said leaves. The engagement members bias the leaves to close an orifice when said drive gear rotates in said first direction and to open the orifice when said drive gear rotates in said second direction. Each of the leaves maintains a substantially sealing engagement with each adjacent leaf throughout a range of motion of the leaves. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20150097000 | Tote Bag Beverage Dispensing Apparatus - A tote bag beverage dispensing apparatus includes a housing having upper and lower portions. The upper portion includes bottom and upstanding side walls that define an interior area for carrying articles and an open top for access thereto. The lower portion includes insulated bottom and upstanding side walls defining a compartment and defining a slot for access thereto. The compartment is configured to receive a bladder of liquid having a dispensing nozzle and is insulated for maintaining a temperature of a bladder of liquid, such as a beverage, placed therein. One side wall of the lower portion defines an aperture configured to receive the dispensing nozzle of the bladder of liquid therethrough. The slot transitions between a closed configuration blocking access to the compartment and an open configuration allowing access to the compartment. A flap coupled to the lower portion conceals the opening and the dispensing nozzle. | 04-09-2015 |
