Wearable liquid container

A liquid container in the form of a ring and adapted to be worn by a person using the container comprising:

• an elongated tubular member made from a suitable flexible material, said tubular member having a pair of end portions terminating in a pair of opposite facing annular end surfaces;
• said tubular member being hollow throughout its length to form a single chamber for receiving a liquid;
• one of said end portions of said tubular member forming a dispensing end through which the liquid is dispensed and the other of said end portions forming a receiving end;
• a connecting member for connecting the dispensing and receiving ends of said tubular member, said connecting member comprising an elongated cylindrical body having a cylindrical center portion located between a pair of barrel end portions;
• said cylindrical center portion having an outer diameter generally equal to the outer diameter of said tubular member and also having a pair of annular surfaces which abut the annular end surfaces of said tubular member when said members are assembled to form a ring;
• a plurality of individual retaining elements circumferentially disposed on each of said barrel end portions, said retaining elements being separate and axially spaced-apart on their respective said barrel end portions and having respective maximum outer transverse dimensions greater than respective inner diameters of said tubular end portions;
• the retaining elements of said barrel end portions being inserted into the receiving and dispensing ends of said tubular member to engage the inner walls thereof until the annular surfaces of said cylindrical center portion abut the opposing annular end surfaces of said receiving and dispensing ends;
• said retaining elements received in the receiving end of said tubular member are longer than the retaining elements received in the dispensing end of the tubular member which form a sliding connection between said shorter retaining elements and the inner wall of said dispensing end.

• the retaining elements of said barrel end portions being inserted into the receiving and dispensing ends of said tubular member to engage the inner walls thereof until the annular surfaces of said cylindrical center portion abut the opposing annular end surfaces of said receiving and dispensing ends;
• said retaining elements on the barrel end portion which are inserted into said dispensing end of said tubular member are in the form of rounded nodes;
• and
• the retaining elements on the other of said barrel end portions are in the form of barbed elements, each barb element having a body with a triangular cross-section, said body having a short side and a long side converging at a pointed end.

• and
• a carrying device is attached to said tubular member, said device being in the form of a pair of spaced apart double ring structures, each structure having two rings, with said tubular member extending through a pair of rings in the spaced apart structures, and the other pair of rings in the spaced apart structures being adapted to carry an object.
