A carrying device for a portable gas exchange device has at least one first holding strap which is designed to be worn around a torso of a patient, thereby allowing the carrying device to be supported on the patient. The carrying device further includes a fastener which is designed to fasten a portable gas exchange device. Also provided is a carrying system which consists of a carrying device and a gas exchange device.

Disclosed is a cylinder-retaining apparatus for a breathing apparatus comprising first and second fixing point and a strap apparatus secured to the first fixing point and the second fixing point. The strap apparatus forms a main strap loop for extending around and securing one or more cylinders. The cylinder-retaining apparatus is configurable in: i) an expanded configuration in which the main strap loop provides a first effective length for securing a first number of cylinders; and ii) a contracted configuration in which a portion of a strap of the strap apparatus is folded to form a secondary strap loop and the secondary strap loop is secured to a third fixing point such that the main strap loop forms a second effective length which is shorter than the first effective length and for securing a second number of cylinders less than the first number of cylinders.

A double-walled container includes a top opening, and a bottom opening, opposite the top opening. A removable top cap engages with threads at the top opening and a removable bottom cap engages with threads at the bottom opening. The double-walled container includes an outer wall and an inner wall. A channel formed on and encircling the outer wall includes a vacuum port through which air between the outer and inner walls is drawn out to form an insulating space between the inner and outer walls. A band is positioned within the channel to cover the vacuum port.

A beverage dispensing headwear having a ring toss shaft affixed thereto. A pair of container holders is affixed on opposing sides of a helmet. A three-way valve is fastened to the helmet, wherein a first and second intake tube are fluidly connected to the three-way valve on a proximal end and are configured to be inserted into a container held within one of the container holders on a distal end. An output tube is also fluidly connected to the three-way valve on a proximal end of the output tube. The output tube extends below the rim of the helmet at a distal end, wherein the distal end of the output tube is configured to be sucked on by a user. Additionally, shaft is affixed to the helmet.

A user worn hydration device for wearing around a waist of a user includes a bladder, which is positioned in a sleeve that is configured to be positioned around a waist of a user so that the sleeve is coupled to the user. The bladder is configured to position a fluid. A tube, which is resiliently flexible, is coupled to a bottom of the bladder and extends through a hole that is positioned in the sleeve. A mouthpiece that is coupled to the tube distal from the bladder in fluidic communication with the bladder through the tube. A valve positioned in the mouthpiece so that the mouthpiece is configured to be clamped between teeth of the user to open the valve, positioning the user to draw the fluid from the bladder through the tube.

A bite valve retention system can comprise a base comprising a pivot portion and one or more side portions, wherein the one or more side portions are configured to receive a portion of a strap; and a retention element comprising a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is pivotably coupled to the pivot portion of the base such that the retention element pivots around an axis perpendicular to the pivot portion, and the second portion comprises a first coupling mechanism and extends from the first portion along an outer surface of the base; wherein the first coupling mechanism is configured to allow the retention element to couple and decouple from a second coupling mechanism disposed on an outer surface of a bite valve.

A moisture removing apparatus and method for making the moisture removing apparatus. A first material layer may be placed proximate to a second material layer. The first material layer may be wrapped around the second material layer to cover the second material layer with the first material layer. One or more edges of the first material layer may be secured to hold the second material layer within the first material layer. The apparatus, when placed in a container, may be configured to absorb moisture from the container, and may be further configured to use capillary action to remove the absorbed moisture from the container.

A user worn hydration device for wearing around a waist of a user includes a bladder, which is positioned in a sleeve that is configured to be positioned around a waist of a user so that the sleeve is coupled to the user. The bladder is configured to position a fluid. A tube, which is resiliently flexible, is coupled to a bottom of the bladder and extends through a hole that is positioned in the sleeve. A mouthpiece that is coupled to the tube distal from the bladder in fluidic communication with the bladder through the tube. A valve positioned in the mouthpiece so that the mouthpiece is configured to be clamped between teeth of the user to open the valve, positioning the user to draw the fluid from the bladder through the tube.
