Abstract
A hydration device is provided that includes a sleeve that is worn securely on a limb, such as a forearm, of a user and contains a bladder for holding liquid such as water, sports drinks, etc. The bladder is removable and includes a refill port and a drinking valve. The hydration device can be designed to absorb impacts while being worn, yet is light-weight and flexible enough to conform to the user's body.
Claims19
A body worn hydration device comprising:
- a sleeve with a dorsal side, the sleeve sized and configured to fit over a user's arm such that the sleeve has a generally tubular shape that tapers from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the sleeve includes an aperture on the dorsal side and a sealable opening;
- and
- a bladder sized and configured to hold a liquid, to be removably contained within the sleeve on the dorsal side of the sleeve, and to be inserted and removed into the sleeve through the sealable opening, the bladder including a valve port and a refill port, wherein the valve port is positioned such that when the bladder is contained within the sleeve the valve port protrudes through the aperture.
The body worn hydration device of claim 16 wherein the refill port is positioned near the proximal end of the sleeve.
A wearable device for containing liquid consisting essentially of:
- a sleeve with an inside portion and an outside portion, the sleeve sized and configured such that the inside portion fits on a user's forearm and the sleeve has a generally tubular shape that tapers from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the sleeve includes an aperture and a sealable opening;
- and
- a bladder sized and configured to be removably contained within the sleeve between the inside portion and the outside portion and to be inserted and removed through the sealable opening, the bladder including a valve port and a refill port, wherein the valve port is positioned such that when the bladder is contained within the sleeve the valve port protrudes through the aperture,
- wherein the device is sized and configured to not extend past a wrist toward a hand of a user when fitting on a user's forearm.
A body worn hydration device comprising:
- a sleeve with a dorsal side, the sleeve sized and configured to fit over a user's arm such that the sleeve has a generally tubular shape that tapers from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the sleeve has a first side running along a length of the sleeve and a second side running along the length of the sleeve on an opposite side;
- a cover coupled to said sleeve, wherein the cover has a first edge that is attached to the sleeve on the first side substantially along the length of the sleeve, wherein the cover has a second edge that is attached to the sleeve near the second side substantially along the length of the sleeve, wherein the cover is positioned substantially on the dorsal side of the sleeve and forms a pocket on the dorsal side of the sleeve, and wherein the cover includes a first aperture;
- and
- a bladder sized and configured to bold liquid and to be removably contained within the pocket, wherein the bladder includes a refill port and a valve port, and wherein the valve port is positioned such that when the bladder is in the pocket the valve port can protrude from the first aperture.
