A Bladder Assembly for Retaining Fluid Under Pressure.

Abstract

A bladder assembly for retaining and discharging a fluid under pressure includes a first expandable elastomeric bladder member having a first annularly-shaped base end for anchoring to a foundation and defining a first open fixed end, and a first dome-shaped wall portion upstanding from the first fixed end and defining a first closed movable end. The assembly further includes a second expandable elastomeric bladder member disposed within and contiguous to the first bladder member, and having a second annularly-shaped base end for anchoring to the foundation and defining a second open fixed end, and a second dome-shaped wall portion upstanding from the second open fixed end and defining a second closed movable end.
