Abstract

A wearable fluid reservoir configured to contain liquids includes a swinging suppressing mechanism to inhibit horizontal and vertical swinging of a reservoir main body in relation to a hydration pack in which the reservoir main body is inserted. The pack includes a connecting mechanism that mates with the swinging suppressing mechanism to form a detachable, yet secure fit between the reservoir and the pack. A sipping tube is coupled to the reservoir main body.

Claims (26)

1 . A wearable fluid reservoir apparatus, comprising;

a reservoir main body; and

a swinging suppressing mechanism coupled to the reservoir main body and configured to inhibit horizontal and vertical movements of the reservoir main body with respect to a pack.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the swinging suppressing mechanism is positioned on the reservoir main body in at least a first location and a second location.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first location of the swinging suppressing mechanism comprises a port of filling and sealing the reservoir main body.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the swinging suppressing mechanism comprises hook-and-loop fasteners.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the swinging suppressing mechanism comprises a suction cup.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the swinging suppressing mechanism comprises a corrugated sheet.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the swinging suppressing mechanism comprises a strut vertically penetrating the reservoir main body.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the reservoir main body comprises a soft material.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the swinging suppressing mechanism comprises mounting sections integrally formed with the reservoir main body.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a structural brace coupled to the reservoir main body.

11 . A wearable fluid reservoir apparatus, comprising;

a reservoir main body; and

a swinging suppressing mechanism coupled to the reservoir main body and configured to inhibit horizontal and vertical movements of the reservoir main body with respect to a pack,

wherein the swinging suppressing mechanism covers a top portion and a bottom portion of the reservoir main body.

12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising the pack, and wherein the pack comprises a compatible connecting mechanism to be removably coupled to the swinging suppressing mechanism.

13 . A wearable fluid reservoir apparatus, comprising;

a pack comprising a connecting mechanism; and

a reservoir housed within the pack and comprising a reservoir main body including a swinging suppressing mechanism removably coupled to the connecting mechanism to inhibit horizontal and vertical movements of the reservoir main body with respect to the pack.

14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein:

the swinging suppressing mechanism comprises a rigid connector having a geometric shape; and

the connecting mechanism comprises at least one opening configured to receive the rigid connector.

15 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein:

the swinging suppressing mechanism comprises a first patch of hook-and-loop fasteners; and

the connecting mechanism comprises a second patch of hook-and-loop fasteners.
