Abstract
A magnetic bottle holder for use in cycling and other applications. The magnetic bottle holder is cageless allowing a user to disengage and engage a standard water bottle in a ‘blind’ operation from multiple angles and directions.
Claims19
A magnetic water bottle holder for a bicycle, comprising:
- an elongated body extending from a rearward end to a forward end, wherein a long axis is defined between the forward end and rearward end;
- a docking mount attached to the body between the rearward end and the forward end, the docking mount having:
- a generally arcuate channel extending across the body substantially transverse to the long axis of the body;
- and
- at least a first magnet disposed proximate to a bottom surface of the arcuate channel;
- a generally cylindrical ring configured for disposition about a bottle, the ring including at least a second magnet disposed within a sidewall of the ring;
- wherein, when the second magnet magnetically connects to the first magnet, an outside surface of the ring engages at least a portion of the bottom surface of the arcuate channel and an inside surface of the ring is disposed above top edges of the arcuate channel over at least a portion of a length of the arcuate channel.

- an elongated body extending from a rearward end to a forward end, wherein a long axis is defined between the forward end and rearward end;
- a docking mount attached to the body between the rearward end and the forward end, the docking mount having:
- a channel extending across the body substantially transverse to the long axis of the body, the channel having an average channel depth between a top edge of the channel and a bottom edge of the channel;
- and
- at least a first magnet disposed proximate to a bottom surface of the channel;
- a generally cylindrical ring configured for disposition about a bottle, the ring having:
- a ring thickness between an inside surface and an outside surface of a sidewall of the ring, wherein the ring thickness is greater than the average channel depth;
- and
- at least a second magnet disposed in a sidewall of the ring;
- wherein when the second magnet magnetically connects to the first magnet, an outside surface of the ring engages at least a portion of the bottom surface of the channel and an inside surface of the ring is disposed above the top edge of the channel.

- a docking mount attached to the body between the rearward end and the forward end, the docking mount having a channel extending across the body substantially transverse to the long axis of the body, the channel having:
- a channel width between a forward channel wall and a rearward channel wall;
- and
- an average channel depth between top edges of the channel and bottom edges of the channel;
- and
- at least a first magnet disposed proximate to a bottom surface of the channel;
- a generally cylindrical ring configured for disposition about a bottle, the ring having:
- a ring width between forward and rearward ends of the ring, the ring width being less than the channel width;
- and
- a ring thickness between an inside surface and an outside surface of the ring, wherein the ring thickness is greater than the average channel depth;
