Abstract: Embodiments of a method and apparatus to lift payloads onto or into a vehicle are disclosed. Optimal embodiments of the device mount to a plurality of receiver hitches on a vehicle and combine optimally shaped and positioned structures, rigid and flexible linkage, and a pivoting tower to form a lifting hoist that is foldable, retractable, and can be recoverably installed. A prominent feature of the present invention is the ability to retract to a stored position that does not interfere with other features or functions of the host vehicle. This invention includes components that make it safe to use on un-level surfaces and other components and methods that enable the apparatus to be leveled to some extent before use.

Abstract: A pressure vessel assembly, and method of use, for storing a gas at an elevated pressure. The assembly includes a vessel body having a rigid wall with an inner surface defining a storage chamber and with an inlet allowing the gas to enter the storage chamber. The assembly includes a flexible liner positioned within the storage chamber to be in fluid communication with the inlet to receive any fluid entering the vessel body. The liner is formed of an elastic inner layer contacting the gas and a metallic outer surface. The inflated, unrestrained liner volume is generally at least as large as the chamber volume and more typically, slightly larger. Stored gas contacts the inner surface of the liner and expands the liner from a smaller deflated volume until the outer surface of the liner contacts the wall of the pressure vessel.
