A blood reservoir adapted for use in an extracorporeal circulatory support circuit. The blood reservoir comprises a housing having a chamber for holding blood, an outlet in the housing for draining blood from the chamber, and an inlet for supplying venous blood to the chamber. The inlet includes an inlet tube positioned at a greater elevation in use of the reservoir than the minimum specified level of fluid in the reservoir. A cup-shaped fluid trap is mounted on the inlet tube to trap fluid at t...

A closure or bottom pan for a transmission provides a reservoir in which excess system fluid is stored. The bottom pan has a waffle pattern bottom wall.

A covered reservoir is disclosed comprising a reservoir body, a holder for the body, a cover, a retainer for the cover, and a seal fitted onto the cover to seal off leak paths between the cover and the reservoir body. The cover is constructed to raise the seal into a frusto-conical position, preferably via a frusto-conical surface on which the seal, which is a flexible annular ring, is seated.

An air reservoir (4) intended for regulating the pressure in the sealing cuff of a respiration catheter has a wall consisting of an elastic membrane (3). The reservoir also functions as a pressure gauge, the elastic membrane when inflated being caused to contact a semitransparent plate (2) which is firmly connected with a rigid part (1) of the reservoir. At contact between the membrane and the plate, indicator rings on the membrane become visible through the semitransparent plate.

A reservoir tank includes a tank body storing an amount of operating fluid and having an inlet, a cap detachably mounted on the inlet of the tank body, a deflector secured to the cap so as to be located in the inlet and having a first passage which is in fluid communication with the atmosphere and a second passage which is in fluid communication with an inner space of the tank body, a diaphragm located between the cap and the deflector and having a slit valve which is set to be opened by a press...

A rainwater collection system for supplying water to a toilet includes a gutter, water reservoir tank, excess water output conduit, toilet, and water bypass assembly for diverting water out through the water output conduit when the water reservoir tank is sufficiently full.

A blood reservoir being capable of reducing damage to blood stored therein. The blood reservoir has a housing in the form of a box, and filtering and defoaming devices provided in the housing, i.e., a device for filtering and defoaming on blood suctioned from a surgical field (outside a heart), a device for filtering and defoaming on blood vented from the interior of the heart, and a device for filtering and defoaming on blood drawn off from a large vein. The vented blood flowing into the blood ...

In order to fit a reservoir unit to be installed in a fuel tank in such a manner that the air-tightness of the fuel tank be not lost even if a large acceleration or deceleration works on the fuel tank, the reservoir unit is configured of an upper subunit, a lower subunit and an elastic member. The upper subunit is provided with a plate-shaped portion to block an opening formed in the fuel tank and guide rails and extending from that plate-shaped portion to the bottom of the fuel tank, and the tw...

In a reservoir unit installed in a fuel tank, in order to reduce noise generated from the engaging faces between guide rails extending from a plate-shaped portion of an upper subunit, fixed to the top face of the fuel tank, to a lower subunit, and slots provided in a reservoir in the lower subunit, a reservoir is configured of an upper subunit, a lower subunit and an elastic member, wherein the upper subunit is provided with a plate-shaped portion to block an opening formed in the fuel tank and ...

An applicator with reservoir is comprised of a reservoir having an open top and a flow cap threadably secured thereto. A closure valve snap fits onto the flow cap and thereafter threadably rotates about the flow cap between a closed and an open position. An applicator cap, having an applicator tip, such as a brush, a roller, or the like, is threadably secured to the closure valve. In a normally open position, the closure valve permits a fluid flow path between the reservoir and the applicator ti...
