Abstract

Various embodiment of a body-top garment for removably housing a tube assembly is disclosed. The tube assembly has a first end that connects to a mouthpiece, and a second end connects to various types of devices. The body-top garment has an elongated pouch with a zipper opening for easy access to the tube assembly. The elongated pouch has a first opening and a second opening to pass at least part of the tube assembly outside the body-top garment. Optionally, the body-top garment has pocket with a horizontal opening to hold the various type of devices.

Claims (45)

1. A body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into a garment, the body-worn device comprising:

a liquid encapsulating device to pass material out an opening, wherein the liquid is depleted as material passes;

a tube assembly comprising:

a first opening;

a second opening coupled to the liquid encapsulating device;

a cylindrical core:

sealed to not pass the material, and

flexible to bend;

a woven sheath outside the cylindrical core, wherein:

the woven sheath is seamless, and

the cylindrical core is configured to pass material

from the second opening to the first opening; and

a mouthpiece coupled to a first end of the tube.

2. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 1 , wherein the mouthpiece is connected to an interior of the tube assembly using an interference fit.

3. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 1 , wherein:

the mouthpiece uses a first adapter to connect to the first end of the tube assembly, and

the liquid encapsulating device uses a second adapter to connect to a second end of the tube assembly, wherein the first adapter is threaded opposite to the second adapter such that they could be screwed together.

4. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 1 , wherein the liquid encapsulating device further comprises a vapor chamber, a battery, an activation switch, and a vapor outlet.

5. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 1 , wherein the liquid encapsulating device further comprises a liquid chamber selected from the group consisting a flask or a flexible bladder.

6. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 1 , wherein the tube assembly has a length of 10 inches or more.

7. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 1 , wherein the first opening has a first dimension across the first opening, and the second opening has a second dimension across the second opening.

8. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 7 , wherein the first dimension and the second dimension are at least 0.25 inch or 6.4 millimeter.

9. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 1 , wherein the liquid encapsulating device has a diameter of less than 2 centimeters.

10. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical core operates at a temperature range of −5° C. to 65° C.

11. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 1 , further comprising:

a first adaptor configured for coupling the mouthpiece to the first end of the tube assembly; and

a second adaptor configured for coupling the liquid encapsulating device to a second end of the tube assembly.

12. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 11 , wherein the first adaptor is structurally the same as the second adaptor.

13. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 11 , wherein the second adaptor further comprises a tube fitting for coupling with the cylindrical core and a receptacle for coupling with the liquid encapsulating device.

14. The body-worn device for delivering vapor or liquid configured for integration into the garment of claim 13 , wherein the tube fitting further comprises a one-way valve, the one-way valve allows the material to pass from the liquid encapsulating device to the cylindrical core.

15. A tube assembly for delivering vapor or liquid, the tube assembly comprising:

a first tube, the first tube comprising:

a first opening at a first end of the first tube;

a second opening at a second end of the first tube; and

a cylindrical core for delivering the vapor or liquid between the first and second openings;

a first adaptor, the first adaptor comprising:

a first tube fitting removably connected to the first end of the first tube; and

a first receptacle connected to the first tube fitting; and

a second adaptor, the second adaptor comprising:

a second tube fitting removably connected to the second end of the first tube; and

a second receptacle connected to the second tube fitting;

wherein:

the first tube is flexible;

the first adaptor, the first tube and the second adaptor are configured for removably connecting a liquid encapsulating device to a mouthpiece; and

at least one of the first adaptor or the second adaptor controls a flow of the vapor or liquid between the liquid encapsulating device and the mouth piece.
