A proppant discharge system has a container with an outlet positioned in a bottom thereof and a gate affixed adjacent the outlet so as to be movable between a first position covering the outlet to a second position opening the outlet, and a support structure having an actuator thereon. The container is removably positioned on the top surface of the support structure. The actuator is engageable with gate so as to move the gate from the first position to the second position. A conveyor underlies the container so as to receive proppant as discharged from the container through the outlet. The container can be a ten foot ISO container.

A drawer based dispensing system includes a drawer with receptacle moveable along a drawer guide between open and closed positions. During usage, a fill hole allows material from a container to enter the receptacle on a side of the drawer that faces an interior of the container when the drawer is positioned in the closed position. A dispensing hole allows material to exit the receptacle on an opposite side of the receptacle away from the interior of the container when the drawer is positioned in the open position. The dispensing system may be integrated into a lid of the container, which is flipped to sit lid-side-down by a user. A funnel may direct material into the fill hole. The drawer may extend to outside the container through an opening to expose the dispensing hole or the dispensing hole below the receptacle may align with a dispensing hole on the container.

Disclosed herein are multiple embodiments of anti-sloshing liquid-retaining bottles. Embodiments include anti-sloshing liquid-retaining bottles that comprise an internal bladder configured to expand in volumetric proportion to the liquid expelled from the liquid containing bottle thereby eliminating air and, by extension, space in which the water could slosh. Anti-sloshing liquid-retaining bottles disclosed herein can rely on various mechanisms for volumetrically expanding the bladder against liquid retained in the bottle, mechanisms include pneumatic modulation of the bladder using a regulator configured to introduce pressure from a high pressure reservoir to inflate or expand the bladder and valves to release the pressure and deflate the bladder, as well as mechanisms for spring actuation to expand or inflate the bladder. Additional embodiments of anti-sloshing liquid-retaining bottles include bottles comprising wave breakers for passively preventing sloshing by dampening the motion.

An insulated tank bag that may fasten to a motorcycle fuel tank to hydrate the rider with ice cold water/fluids while operating their motorcycle. In various examples, the beverage container can be used on street bikes, off road vehicle, ATV's, dirt bikes, etc. The insulated tank bag may include, for example, a three-liter cube-shaped hydration water reservoir/bladder for containing ice and cold fluid for an extended period of time. The hydration water reservoir may be provided with a hydration hose attached to the reservoir/bladder, extending out of the bag to the exterior side of the tank bag. The hydration hose may be secured by a retractable reel to the side of the tank bag. The hydration hose may be accessible to the rider by his non-throttle hand without removing their helmet and inserting it in their mouth under or through the helmet head protection. Once a rider is hydrated they can release the hydration hose, which will retract to its fixed position on the side of the tank bag.

An intermodal container for transporting frac proppant, such as frac sand, and/or other types of granular material is disclosed. The intermodal container is designed to receive frac sand from a quarry or other frac sand supply source. Once the container is filled with material, the container is loaded onto a transportation device and transported to a well site. Once received at the well site, the containers can be stacked and the frac sand stored until needed. Once the frac sand is needed, the containers are placed on a base unit and the container discharges its contents onto a conveying system formed as part of the base unit. The conveying system directs the frac sand to a blending location. The empty intermodal containers can be removed from the base unit and loaded onto a transportation device to be refilled at a mine site.

A collar for use with a bottle that is refillable for refilling the bottle with a product, and containers comprised of bottles having the collar attached thereto. The collar is removably attachable to the bottle for removable attachment of an applicator to the bottle. The bottle contains a liquid, powder, or other flowable product that is applied with the applicator to a surface during use of the applicator. To remove the applicator from the bottle, a flexible ring of the collar is depressed with pressure applied at opposite buttons of the collar to deform the flexible ring and slide at least one ring tab of the flexible ring past at least one stop lug of the bottle to allow the collar to rotate with respect to the bottle and be removed from the bottle.

A proppant discharge system has a container with an outlet formed at a bottom thereof and a gate slidably affixed at the outlet so as to be movable between a first position covering the outlet to a second position opening the outlet, and a support structure having an actuator thereon. The container is removably positioned on the top surface of the support structure. The actuator is engageable with gate so as to move the gate from the first position to the second position. A conveyor underlies the container so as to receive proppant as discharged from the container through the outlet. The container is a ten foot ISO container.

An aerosol dispensing system includes an aerosol actuator attached to an aerosol package, wherein the aerosol actuator includes a unitary body having a manifold and button, an elbow attached to the body, and a straw attached to the body and guided by the elbow from an open position to a closed position.
