Device for improved hydration during exercise

A method for delivering fluid from a pre-existing container (200) utilizing a hydration device (100), the method comprising:

• a. providing the pre-existing container (200) having a cap (210) and a fluid disposed within;
• b. generating a hole in a surface of the cap (210);
• c. providing the hydration device (100) comprising:
• i. an outer tubing (110) having a first end (112) and a second end (114);
• ii. an inner tubing (120) having a first end (122) and a second end (124) disposed within the outer tubing (110), wherein the first end (122) and the second end (124) of the inner tubing (120) extend past the first end (112) and the second end (114) of the outer tubing (110) respectively, wherein the inner tubing (120) slides freely within the outer tubing (110);
• and
• iii. a pinch assembly (130) capable of folding the first end (112) of the outer tubing (110) and the first end (122) of the inner tubing (120) over to pinch the hydration device (100) shut when not in use to prevent leakage;
• wherein the first end (112) and the second end (114) of the outer tubing (110) are always open;
• wherein the first end (122) and the second end (124) of the inner tubing (120) are always open;
• d. directing the second end (124) of the inner tubing (120) through the hole in the cap (210) and to a bottom of the pre-existing container (200);
• e. affixing the second end (114) of the outer tubing (110) around the hole in the cap (210);
• f. applying suction to the first end (122) of the inner tubing (120), causing fluid to travel from the bottom of the pre-existing container (200) through the second end (124) of the inner tubing (120) to the first end (122) of the inner tubing (120), wherein air is delivered from the first end (112) of the outer tubing (110) to the pre-existing container (200) through the second end (114) to prevent collapsing of the pre-existing container (200);
• and
• g. actuating the pinch assembly (130) to prevent leakage.

A hydration device (100) for allowing delivery of a fluid from a pre-existing container (200) comprising an opening, the hydration device (100) comprising:

• a. an outer tubing (110);
• b. an inner tubing (120) disposed within the outer tubing (110), each end of the inner tubing (120) extends past each end of the outer tubing (110), wherein the inner tubing (120) slides freely within the outer tubing (110);
• and
• c. a pinch assembly (130) capable of folding the outer tubing (110) and the inner tubing (120) over to pinch the hydration device (100) shut when the device (100) is not in use to prevent leakage;
• wherein when the device (100) is in use, the end of the outer tubing (110) is affixed to the opening of the container (200);
• wherein the inner tubing (120) extends into the pre-existing container (200);
• wherein the fluid is delivered from the pre-existing container (200) through the inner tubing (120) when suction is applied to the inner tubing (120), and air is delivered from the outer tubing (110) to the pre-existing container (200) to prevent collapsing of the pre-existing container (200).
