Abstract
Disclosed fluid reservoirs include a 3-D formed first sheet and a 3-D formed second sheet. The 3-D formed first sheet and the 3-D formed second sheet are sealed together at least partially around respective perimeter edges thereof to define an internal space for fluid storage. There is a first opening defined between the 3-D formed first sheet and the 3-D formed second sheet at a first end of the fluid reservoir. The first opening is configured for filling the fluid reservoir with fluid. There is a second opening defined between the 3-D formed first sheet and the 3-D formed second sheet at a second end of the fluid reservoir opposite the first end. The second opening has a fluid exit port configured for allowing fluid to exit the fluid reservoir. The reservoir can include an optional baffle that is coupled to the 3-D formed first and second sheets.
