Abstract
A hydration system including a fluid reservoir, a fluid path in communication with the reservoir, and a magnetic quick connect interposed in the fluid path is disclosed. A fluid delivery system for a hydration system is also disclosed that includes a magnetic quick connect interposed in a fluid delivery path of the delivery system. The magnetic quick connect can also be used in a wide variety of fluid delivery systems. A kit for forming a fluid delivery system for a hydration system is also disclosed, as are various components of a hydration system.
Claims17
A wireless actuation system for use with a hydration system including a fluid reservoir, a wirelessly controlled pump in fluid communication with the reservoir, and an extended length of a drink tube that is in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and pump at a proximal end and an exit port at a distal end, the actuation system comprising:
- a microswitch;
- a cable electrically connected to the microswitch at one end and including an electrical connector at a second end;
- a first mounting means provided proximate the microswitch, the first mounting means configured to attach the microswitch on a portion of a steering mechanism of a vehicle that is controlled by a user's hand;
- a wireless transmitter including a second mounting means attached thereto for removably attaching the wireless transmitter to the steering mechanism of a vehicle and a mating electrical connector for removably receiving the electrical connector, the wireless transmitter being configured to transmit a first signal when the connector is connected to the mating connector and the microswitch is closed, and wherein the wireless transmitter is configured to transmit a second signal when the connector is connected to the mating connector and the microswitch is open.
