ABSTRACT:
A free drop container for liquids and especially potable liquids such as water. The container includes a molded impact resistant shell having a generally spherical shape. A port in the shell defines a hole through the shell wall, with the hole having a first diameter extending from the exterior partially through the shell wall and a second smaller diameter extending through the rest of the shell wall to the interior thereof such that the two diameters define a seat in the shell wall. A screw-in cap is removably fitted to close the first diameter hole preferably by cooperative threading with the circumferential surface of the first diameter hole. A pour spout is sized to slidably fit the second diameter hole, and can extend out from the shell for pouring when the cap is removed. A plug is removably fitted in the pour spout, and a resilient impact-resistant lining is provided that does not crack or break on impact and covers the interior of the shell for contact with potable liquids inside the shell.
The potable liquid in the container is delivered to a predetermined ground location by dropping the filled container from an aircraft traveling at a speed up to 100 knots at an altitude of up to 1,000 feet or more.
