Abstract
A content inflation and delivery system including a container including a fluid inlet in fluid communication with a fluid outlet; wherein the fluid outlet is positioned between the fluid inlet and a second end of the container. The system also includes an inflatable content being configured for inflation and delivery from the second end of the container.
Claims20
A content inflation and delivery system comprising:
- a container including (a)(i) a first end with a first end diameter and a second end with a second end diameter, (a)(ii) an inner surface and an outer surface, and (a)(iii) a vertical axis between the first end and the second end;
- a hollow shaft including (a)(i) a first shaft end comprising a fluid inlet configured to receive a fluid and (a)(ii) a second shaft end configured to deliver the fluid;
- wherein the hollow shaft is movable through the container along the vertical axis;
- a fluid outlet comprising or coupled to the second shaft end;
- a content inlet;
- an inflatable content, a proximal end of the inflatable content being coupled to a distal end of the content inlet, the content inlet including a proximal end that is selectively coupled to the second shaft end, the proximal end of the content inlet being positioned more proximate to the first end of the container than the distal end of the content inlet, wherein a body of the content inlet has a body diameter and the distal end of the content inlet having a distal end diameter, the distal end diameter being smaller than the body diameter;
- wherein the content inlet has an outer surface, the outer surface of the content inlet being configured to be positioned directly adjacent to the container while the inflatable content moves between the first end and the second end of the container;
- and
- wherein the inflatable content is in fluid communication with the fluid outlet and the hollow shaft, the proximal end of the inflatable content having a diameter that is smaller than a proximal end diameter of the content inlet;
- a clip positioned on the hollow shaft configured to limit the movement of the hollow shaft within the container, the clip having a clip diameter that is larger than the first end diameter of the container, the clip always being proximal to the container's first end.

- wherein the inflatable content is configured to move between the first end and the second end;
- and the inflatable content is positioned between the fluid outlet and the second end;
- (4) a content inlet including an outer surface;
- wherein a proximal end of the content inlet is configured to be removably coupled to the fluid outlet and receive a fluid from the fluid outlet;
- and a distal end of the content inlet is coupled to a proximal end of the inflatable content, the proximal end of the content inlet being positioned more proximate to the first end of the container than the distal end of the content inlet, and the distal end of the content inlet is configured for delivering the fluid into the inflatable content, the proximal end of the content inlet having a body diameter and the distal end of the content inlet having a distal end diameter, the outer surface of the content inlet configured to be positioned directly adjacent to the container while the inflatable content moves between the first end and the second end, the proximal end of the inflatable content having a diameter that is smaller than the body diameter;
- and
- a clip positioned on the hollow shaft configured to limit the movement of the hollow shaft within the container, the clip having a clip diameter that is larger than the first end diameter of the container, the clip always being proximal to the container's first end.
