This invention relates to a portable, ruggedized, impact resistant appliance for brewing a beverage having a water tank system, a water delivery system, a brewing system, electronics capable of brewing a beverage, and a user interface for controlling said electronics.

Paint tester and methods of testing paint using the paint tester. The paint tester having a sealed receptacle containing paint, a foam applicator, and a seal cutter. The methods comprising rotating the seal cutter with respect to the receptacle until one or more teeth will cut into and break a seal on the receptacle, applying inward pressure to an exterior surface of a receptacle wall causing paint to flow from the receptacle through a channel exit of the receptacle, through a conduit defined in the seal cutter, out a conduit exit encircled by crenulations, through pores in the applicator, and onto an exterior surface of the applicator, and touching the exterior surface of the applicator to a surface upon which paint is desired.

A bottle and a bottle cap device thereof are provided. In the bottle cap device, the outer-cap outer ring is threadedly connected with the inner-cap outer ring, the outer-cap inner ring penetrates through the inner-cap inner ring, the lower end of the outer-cap inner ring protrudes for a distance from the inner-cap inner ring, and the guide tube is arranged to extend in the outer-cap inner ring. The distance is sufficient to allow the end cap to be connected with the lower end of the outer-cap inner ring in a releasably sealing manner, and when the outer-cap outer ring is turned toward the loosening direction, the distance is sufficiently shortened to allow the end cap abutting with the inner-cap inner ring; while the end cap is connected with the inner-cap inner ring, the guide tube is connected with the end-cap hole, such that a stockage space is formed.

A reusable sealing system is provided for caulk tube or similar bulk dispense. A sealing system forms a cylindrical, pliable member having an access orifice at a proximal end and a sealed dome at an opposite, distal end. The sealing system has an overall length of approximately 3 inches. The access orifice forms an opening diameter of approximately nominal internal diameter. The sealed dome formed as a flattened extension of a pliable sidewall. A pliable sidewall is formed of a resilient elastomeric material, such as a silicone or a plastic, and is adapted to receive a tip of the nozzle n a contiguously contacting manner.

A lubricating oil maintenance cap assembly includes a cap having an outer side, and an inner side, a shield, anchor assemblies, the shield is applied to the inner side of the cap, and the anchor assemblies anchor the shield to the cap. The cap is fashioned of a first material, the shield is fashioned of a second material, and the second material is different from the first material and is more thermally resistant than the first material enabling the shield to thermally shield the inner side of the cap.

A waterproof prestressing structure of water bottles or cups, which mainly has a first main body and a second main body, and one surface of an elastic body is integrally provided on the first main body. When the first main body and the second main body are screwed to connect with each other, since the one surface of the elastic body is fixed on the first main body, the one surface of the elastic body connected to the first main body does not deform, and only another surface that contacts the second main body deforms, so that the elastic body does not excessively deform in a tight state, thereby reducing twist or damage of the elastic body caused by screwing. The elastic body is integrally provided on the first main body, so that there is no gap between the elastic body and the first main body.

Methods of using and repairing seal caps as well as constructions comprising seal caps, including in some embodiments seal caps which may be useful in sealing fasteners that protrude into fuel storage cells in aircraft. In some embodiments, methods include the use of optically translucent seal cap and application of a second quantity of sealant to fill voids observed within the interior of the seal cap after cure of a first quantity of sealant.

Paint tester and methods of testing paint using the paint tester. The paint tester having a sealed receptacle containing paint, a foam applicator, and a seal cutter. The methods comprising rotating the seal cutter with respect to the receptacle until one or more teeth will cut into and break a seal on the receptacle, applying inward pressure to an exterior surface of a receptacle wall causing paint to flow from the receptacle through a channel exit of the receptacle, through a conduit defined in the seal cutter, out a conduit exit encircled by crenulations, through pores in the applicator, and onto an exterior surface of the applicator, and touching the exterior surface of the applicator to a surface upon which paint is desired.

A cap for containers, comprising a cylindrical body comprising a cylindrical skirt and a rib on the inner face thereof, where the cylindrical skirt and the rib are sized for contacting the inner face of the neck of the container and creating at least two sealing areas.
