People facing emergencies, such as disasters, may not receive external assistance in a timely manner, instead having to rely on themselves for critical or extended periods. A system including emergency response containers providing both for organizational structure, including a method of assigning roles to available individuals, and task domain knowledge for organizational elements, namely the people facing and experiencing the emergency, allows for organic emergency response and eases transition to and effectiveness of external professional emergency response providers. In some embodiments the system is modular and adjustable for different situations.

The present invention provides a pouch having a liquid accommodation space for storing a liquid material therein, and in the pouch, boundaries of a first sheet material and a second sheet material are bonded to each other to form an upper fusion portion, a lower fusion portion, a first side fusion portion, and a second side fusion portion. In the liquid accommodation space, a dividing fusion portion is formed apart from the first side fusion portion, and a drink suction tunnel is formed between the dividing fusion portion and the first side fusion portion. The drink suction tunnel includes first and second curved portions which are formed by making the first sheet material and the second sheet material protrude outward between the first side fusion portion and the dividing fusion portion, wherein the first and second curved portions are formed by a thermoforming.

A food and beverage Appliance enables storage and consumption of a food and beverage meal, such as cereal and milk, in a portable form factor allowing consumption of the meal while in motion or during or after travel. The Appliance stores the food and beverage separately, and dispenses the food and beverage separately and non-simultaneously to preserve the crispiness and freshness, and to allow the user to control the size of each portion dispensed. The Appliance prevents leakage of the beverage out it its compartment, whether during filling, storage, traveling, or dispensing, to prevent getting the food soggy prior to dispensing and to prevent messes. The Appliance enables a revolution in healthy snacking and quick and easy mobile meals. Features make the Appliance either reusable or disposable. It also can create a new revenue category for takeout restaurants, and ideal for pre-packaged retail applications.

A tumbler with maneuverable straw is an apparatus that facilitates the consumption of small edible additives of a beverage. The apparatus includes a straw assembly, a lid, and a tumbler. The straw assembly includes a mouthpiece, a straw, and a main channel. The straw assembly delivers the beverage and small edible additives contained within the tumbler to the mouth of the user. The mouthpiece serves as a mount for the lips of the user and allows the user to maneuver the straw within the tumbler. The lid covers an open end of the tumbler and mounts the straw assembly onto the tumbler. The lid seals the open end of the tumbler, preventing any leakage, and receives the straw assembly. The tumbler contains a beverage and any small edible additives such as tapioca balls. The apparatus further includes a friction inducing base that protects a closed end of the tumbler.

A fully sealed pouch containing a drink is provided with a straw within the pouch accessible to allow a user to draw drink from the pouch. The pouch defines a top portion, a bottom portion, and respective side edges interconnecting the top portion and the bottom portion. A corner portion is defined between the top portion and one side edge, the corner portion being openable by a user to access the straw. The pouch forms a closed cavity containing the drink, the cavity being defined by the top portion, the bottom portion, and side edges and by at least one wall defining a front face and a rear face for the cavity. The front and rear faces are connected together in the top portion. The front and rear faces are continuous with each other at, or are connected along, the other of the side edges. The front and rear faces are connected, optionally via a gusset, to provide the bottom portion. The one side edge is formed by a first heat seal connecting the front and rear faces; and a second heat seal connects the front and rear faces and extends in an incomplete fashion from the top portion to the bottom portion, being spaced inboard of the first heat seal. The second heat seal divides the interior of the cavity into major and minor portions interconnected so that drink may flow between them, the minor portion lying between the first and second heat seals, and the straw being located within this minor portion. A number of different ways are described in which the corner portion may be opened along a line of weakness formed in the pouch and extending generally parallel to the top edge or the bottom portion from the first heat seal to and ending at the second heat seal.

A bottle lid comprises a water-sealing body, the water-sealing body is provided with a water outlet and a suction-nozzle fitting hole, the suction-nozzle fitting hole is provided with a suction-nozzle component, and the bottom of the suction-nozzle component is connected with a suction tube; the water-sealing body is rotatably attached with a top lid, and the top lid is internally provided with a top-lid silicone-rubber seal for sealing the water outlet and the suction-nozzle fitting hole when the lid is closed tightly. The suction-nozzle component includes a suction nozzle, a suction-nozzle sealing ring and a suction-nozzle spring, and an outer wall of the suction nozzle is provided with a first ring protrusion, a second ring protrusion and a third ring protrusion. The only one lid achieves two different ways of drinking water, with the suction tube being hidable to prevent water leakage and splashes, which is user-friendly.
