Abstract
This invention pertains to a container for liquid which has strap members capable of securing the container to a user's neck. A straw is inserted into the container for the removal of liquid. When not in use, the straw will be secured by a retaining member. Adhesive is placed along the back side of the container to be secured to the user's clothing so as to reduce movement of the container during activity such as running or bicycling.
Claims17
A container for holding liquid around a user's neck comprising:
- means defining an integral, hollow, generally flat, substantially symmetrical arcuate-shaped container having a pair of front and rear walls which are substantially symmetrical to one another on either side of an imaginary plane extending through the center line of said front and rear walls, said front and rear walls joined peripherally at the edges, with said rear wall generally contoured in a substantially flat shape for disposition adjacent the user's front;
- aperture means formed on an upper arcuate-shaped portion and intermediate the end portions of said arcuate-shaped container for delivering liquid through the intermediately disposed aperture means upwardly during use into the user's mouth;
- strap means extending from the end portions of said container and continuously supporting said container around the user's neck during use in non-constricting disposition and disposing said rear wall of said arcuate-shaped container adjacent the user's front to position said aperture means in upwardly directed disposition for delivering liquid upwardly therefrom during use;
- and
- a straw member extending upwardly from said container so as to enable the user to remove the liquid contents therefrom by means of suction, whereby the user is able to suction liquid upwardly from the container while engaging in physical exercise.

- a hollow threaded extension member formed on an upper arcuate-shaped portion substantially intermediate the end portions of said arcuate-shaped container so as to provide means for delivering liquid in a generally upward direction to user's mouth;
- a strap extending from said container which is capable of continuously supporting the container when filled with liquid around the user's neck during exercise;
- and
- a straw extending upwardly from said container through said extension member, whereby the user may continuously suction liquid upwardly from the container while engaging in physical exercise.

A container for holding liquid around a user's neck comprising:
- a one-piece hollow, substantially symmetrical, thin generally arcuate-shaped container having a pair of substantially symmetrical front and rear walls which are substantially symmetrical to one another on either side of an imaginary plane extending through the center line of said front and rear walls, said front and rear walls joined along their periphery, with said rear wall generally contoured in a substantially flat shape for disposition against the user's front;
- an aperture formed on an upper arcuate portion substantially intermediate the end portions of said arcuate-shaped container for delivering liquid to the user;
- an integral ring member formed on said container which is capable of being placed over a user's head and providing continuous support for the container during use;
- and
- a straw member extending upwardly from said container so as to enable the user to remove the liquid contents therein by means of suction, whereby the user may remove and consume liquid from said container continuously while engaging in physical exercise.
