Abstract:
In some embodiments, a housing can define a reservoir. A lower cap can be coupled to the housing and define an outlet, and an upper cap can be coupled to the housing and can define an inlet. The upper cap can include an extending portion extending laterally a distance beyond an outermost extending portion of the lower cap relative to a central axis of the housing such that, when the lower cap and the extending portion of the upper cap contact a horizontal surface, the central axis of the housing is transverse to the surface and a sealing member is configured to sealingly engage a sealing surface of a valve seat prior to a liquid fluid level within a reservoir decreasing below a minimum threshold fluid level.

Claim (Index 10):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a housing defining a reservoir and having a first end, a second end, and a central axis; a lower cap coupled to the second end of the housing, the lower cap defining an outlet; a valve seat having a first end, a second end, and a sealing surface, the valve seat defining a through-hole from the sealing surface to the second end, the valve seat disposed within the housing, the second end of the valve seat coupled to the lower cap such that the outlet of the lower cap is in fluid communication with the reservoir via the through-hole of the valve seat; a sealing member configured to float at a liquid fluid level within the reservoir and to seal with the sealing surface of the valve seat prior to the liquid fluid level within the reservoir decreasing below a minimum threshold fluid level; and an upper cap defining an inlet, the upper cap coupled to the first end of the housing, the upper cap including an extending portion extending laterally a distance beyond an outermost extending portion of the lower cap relative to the central axis of the housing such that, when the lower cap and the extending portion of the upper cap contact a horizontal surface, the central axis of the housing is transverse to the surface and the sealing member is configured to sealingly engage the sealing surface of the valve seat prior to the liquid fluid level within the reservoir decreasing below a minimum threshold fluid level.
