Liquid transport safety system "LTSS"

Abstract

A setup comprising a gas/air compressor and inflatable Device(s)/object (s) for liquid transporting mobile containers or objects. When liquid is poured in for transportation the compressor is used to inflate the inflatable object(s) to fill/consume the remaining space in the container/object. The liquid is then trapped in the confined volume with no room to move. Thus increase safety by improving liquid handling during transportation.

1 - 2 . (canceled)  
   
   
       3 . A liquid transport system comprising: 
 a mobile vehicle;    a container coupled to the mobile vehicle, wherein the container has a defined volume and is configured to hold a liquid within the defined volume;    at least one inflatable object disposed within the container; and    a pump coupled to the at least one inflatable object and configured to inflate the at least one inflatable object, wherein the inflated at least one inflatable object limits the volume available to the liquid within the defined volume.    
   
   
       4 . The liquid transport system of  claim 3  wherein the inflation of the at least one inflatable object removes air from the defined volume external to the at least one inflatable object.  
   
   
       5 . The liquid transport system of  claim 3  wherein the at least one inflatable object is disposed within the container based on the center of gravity of the liquid transport system.  
   
   
       6 . The liquid transport system of  claim 3  wherein the at least one inflatable object is disposed within the container based on access to liquids within the container.  
   
   
       7 . The liquid transport system of  claim 3  wherein the mobile vehicle comprises an 18-wheeler.  
   
   
       8 . The liquid transport system of  claim 3  wherein the at least one inflatable object is configured to hold a gaseous media within the at least one inflatable object.  
   
   
       9 . The liquid transport system of  claim 3  wherein the pump is further configured to deflate the at least one inflatable object.  
   
   
       10 . A method for transporting liquids comprising: 
 providing a vehicle having a container, the container having a defined volume and at least one inflatable object disposed within the container;    disposing a liquid into the container and adjacent to the at least one inflatable object; and    inflating the at least one inflatable object within the container to limit the volume available to the liquid within the defined volume.    
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising transporting the liquid within the container between a first location and a second location and removing the liquid from the container.  
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 11  wherein the liquid is disposed into the container at the first location and the liquid is removed from the container at the second location.  
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 10  wherein the inflated at least one inflatable object and the liquid utilize substantially all of the defined volume of the container.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising deflating the inflated at least one inflatable object prior to removing the liquid within the container.
