Pressurized fluid dispensing device

A pressurized fluid dispensing device for use by athletes in endurance events, comprising:

• a pressurizable vessel having a top, a bottom, a generally vertical side, a generally diagonal side, two generally lateral sides, and a sealable opening in said top, said vessel being pressurizable for storing a fluid therein under pressure;
• a support cage mountable to the frame of a bicycle, said support cage having a generally vertical side, a generally diagonal side, and a bottom;
• mounting means for attaching said support cage to a triangle of said bicycle frame above a center bracket to locate the weight and center of gravity of said bicycle as low as possible;
• a check valve extending from the bottom of said vessel in fluid communication with said vessel and sealingly engageable with a recess formed in the bottom of said support cage, the check valve includes a biased, extending portion which when fully extended prevents the flow of fluid from said vessel and which when depressed permits the flow of fluid from said vessel so that when said vessel is sealingly engaged with said support cage, said biased, extending portion of said check valve comes in contact with a bottom of said recess to depress the biased, extending portion to permit fluid to flow through said check valve from said vessel;
• flexible tubing having a first end and a second end, said tubing attached at said first end to the bottom of said support cage in fluid communication with said check valve for communicating said fluid from said vessel to an athlete;
• attaching means for attaching the second end of said tubing to the handle bars of said bicycle;
• and
• an actuateable valve sealingly connected to the second end of said tubing so that fluid may be selectively dispensed from said tubing upon actuation of said actuateable valve by the mouth of said athlete.
