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.
1. A wearable fluid reservoir apparatus, comprising;
a reservoir main body comprising a U-shaped, flat border surrounding only a bottom and opposite sides of the reservoir main body without extending across a top side thereof;
a plurality of openings formed through the border at a plurality of locations about the border, the plurality of locations including at least one opening at the bottom and at least one opening at each of the opposite sides; and
a connecting mechanism configured to be coupled to the border at the plurality of openings, wherein
the connecting mechanism and the plurality of openings create a swinging suppressing mechanism to inhibit horizontal and vertical movements of the reservoir main body with respect to a pack.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of openings is positioned on the reservoir main body in at least a first location and a second location.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of openings includes eyelets.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the connecting mechanism comprises toggles removably coupled to the eyelets.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the reservoir main body comprises a soft material.
6. A wearable fluid reservoir apparatus, comprising:
a reservoir main body comprising a border surrounding only a bottom and opposite sides of the reservoir main body without extending across a top side thereof;
a plurality of openings formed through the border at a plurality of locations about the border, the plurality of locations including at least one opening at the bottom and at least one opening at each of the opposite sides;
a pack configured to receive the reservoir main body therein, the pack comprising a connecting mechanism configured to be coupled to the border at the plurality of openings,
wherein the connecting mechanism and the plurality of openings create a swinging suppressing mechanism to inhibit horizontal and vertical movements of the reservoir main body with respect to a pack.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of openings is positioned on the reservoir main body in at least a first location and a second location.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of openings includes eyelets.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the connecting mechanism comprises toggles removably coupled to the eyelets.
10. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the reservoir main body comprises a soft material.
11. A wearable fluid reservoir apparatus, comprising:
a pack comprising a connecting mechanism including a toggle; and
a reservoir housed within the pack and comprising a reservoir main body including U-shaped, flat a border, the border, extending only along a bottom side and opposite sides of the reservoir main body without extending across a top side thereof, comprising eyelets configured to removably receive the toggle to inhibit horizontal and vertical movements of the reservoir main body with respect to the pack, the eyelets being positioned in at least one location at a bottom border of the reservoir and at least one location at each of the opposite sides of the reservoir.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the reservoir main body comprises a soft material.
13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the least one opening at each of the opposite sides includes a upper opening at an upper end of each of the opposite sides, a lower opening at a lower end of each of the opposite sides, and a central opening, between the upper opening and the lower opening, at each of the opposite sides.
14. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the least one opening at each of the opposite sides includes a upper opening at an upper end of each of the opposite sides, a lower opening at a lower end of each of the opposite sides, and a central opening, between the upper opening and the lower opening, at each of the opposite sides.
15. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the least one opening at each of the opposite sides includes a upper opening at an upper end of each of the opposite sides, a lower opening at a lower end of each of the opposite sides, and a central opening, between the upper opening and the lower opening, at each of the opposite sides.
