An improved bottle having a mating clip is disclosed. The bottle includes a guide, preferably located on opposing sidewalls of the bottle, to direct attachment features of a clip toward mating attachment features of a bottle in order to facilitate attachment of the bottle to the clip in a tactile fashion. The guide further serves as a release mechanism, in which an inward force applied to the guide will cause deflection of the bottle to separate the clip from the bottle.

A bottle holding harness assembly includes a harness to be placed on an upper torso of an adult. The harness has a back side and a front side and a front strap is attached front side of the harness. A saddle is mounted on the front strap. The saddle i releasably receives a bottle and the saddle is rotatable with respect to the front strap.

An adjustable liquid container holder and method comprising a set of components that may be used for holding various types and sizes of liquid containers with the ability to temporarily hang or mount the holder and still retrieve liquid through a hose. The container holder may be comprised of one or more frame parts that is height adjustable to snugly fit regardless of the size and height of the liquid containers. The spigot may be configured with a detachable retractable cord and reel so that the spigot may be automatically retracted in close proximity to the liquid container holder upon release of the spigot from a user's hand.

A constriction resistant tether for a child's article includes an elastomeric body, preferably constructed of any FDA approved food grade or higher grade semi-rigid elastomer. A portion of the tether body has a zig-zag, or modified serpentine shape that resembles a non-coiled tension spring. At one end of the body is an anchoring member for securement to a point of attachment such as a child seat, high chair or wheelchair. The anchoring member may possess a small annulus with a tail having spaced knobs along its length extending therefrom, or the anchoring member may be a plug or bulbous member that snaps into or interlocks with a custom sized and shaped aperture defining an attachment point.

A preferred sleeve for a bottle includes a floor and upwardly extending sidewalls, terminating in an upper rim which forms a shoulder extending partially over the interior space. A detent or detent form is provided along an upper rim, diametrically opposite the shoulder. One or more openings may be provided in the lower portion of the sleeve to facilitate removal of the bottle by tilting it away from the shoulder.

A pack-based holder includes a spine, a collar, and an arm. The collar can be attached to the spine and arranged to reduce movement of an object placed therein in a direction away from the longitudinal axis of the spine. The arm can be movably coupled to the spine and can move between an open position and a closed position. The arm can restrain gravitational movement of the object in the closed position, and in the open position, the arm does not restrain gravitational movement of the object.

A holder device for holding objects includes a holder body, a moveable carrier element, and a force generating system tending to move the carrier element in a first direction to a first position when the carrier element is in a second position away from the first position. The carrier element constitutes a trough having a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the first direction, a wider area closer to a bottom of the trough, and a narrower area farther from the bottom of the trough. When the carrier element is in the first position, a rim of the holder body closes the trough so that the objects cannot be moved in the longitudinal direction to and from the trough. When the carrier element is in the second position, the objects can be moved in the longitudinal direction to and from the trough.

A drinkware apparatus includes a liquid container with a reservoir therein, the liquid container having an exterior surface, and a dispensing lid that engages with the liquid container, the dispensing lid having an exterior surface. A pair of hinge lugs extend outwardly from the exterior surface of the liquid container or outwardly from the exterior surface of the dispensing lid, each of the hinge lugs having a mounting surface that opposes the mounting surface of the other hinge lug. Each of a pair of opposing hinge posts extends from the mounting surface of a respective one of the hinge lugs and is positioned between the hinge lugs. A carrying arm is rotatable about the hinge posts when mounted thereon. The carrying arm is selectively removable from and selectively remountable on the hinge posts without adjustment of the hinge posts, hinge lugs, dispensing lid, or liquid container.

A bottle handle includes a neck engagement collar including a neck ring defining a central aperture. The bottle handle also includes a handle portion coupled to the neck engagement collar. The bottle handle further includes a plurality of tabs extending radially inward from the neck ring. Two adjacent tabs of the plurality of tabs define a slot therebetween, and wherein a reinforcement rib protrudes from the neck ring and is located adjacent the slot.
