A hand strap bottle clip is configured for use with a bottle, and includes a clip attachable to an upper end of the bottle and having a lower end of the clip extending downwardly toward a lower end of the bottle when the clip is attached to the bottle. The clip includes upper and lower attachment locations or slots. A strap is attached to the clip at the upper and lower attachment locations to form a hand loop sized to accommodate a hand of a user.

In some embodiments, a beverage holder includes a beverage receptacle, an accessory receptacle, and a shaft. The beverage receptacle defines a cylindrical volume and includes a flat base for supporting a beverage container, the flat base having a circular shape with a first diameter; a first arm having a second diameter and at least partially encircling the cylindrical volume; and a spine connecting the base and the arm The accessory receptacle defines a rectangular volume and is connected to the base and to the first arm of the beverage receptacle. The shaft includes a first section connected to the base, and a second section with a pointed end for securing the beverage holder into the ground where the first and second sections are connectable by a threaded section.

A backpack for a cylindrical shaped object, such as a utility bucket, is disclosed and includes a generally cylindrical shaped body portion with an open top and a bottom and a pair of a pair of shoulder straps attached to the top and bottom of the body portion, the attachment points for the straps at the top are spaced apart by at least a hundred and sixty degrees (160) and eighty degrees (80) from a lateral center line of the body portion relative to one another. A plurality of pockets may be disposed about the perimeter of the body portion and the backpack may also include a grab handle and chest strap.

A floatation device for a beverage container is configured to have a displacement with a floatation buoyancy sufficient to float the floatation device both empty and while holding the beverage container, whether empty or filled. The floatation device may have a cup-shaped body, a buoyant member (either permanently attached or removably attachable to the cup-shaped body), and a weighting member, with a center of gravity of the floatation device being below a middle point between a base and a top portion of the floatation device. A kit may be provided with one or more cup-shaped bodies and one or more buoyant members to provide user selectability in view use with a container selected from a group of differently-sized containers.

Disclosed are an apparatus and/or a method of a quick attachment carrier assembly of a container to enable free movement of a body of a wearer and hands-free utilization through multiple attachability options. In one aspect, a carrier attachment assembly includes an elongated flap, a first elastic band, and a second elastic band. The elongated flap has a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the elongated flap fits between a waist of a wearer and a waistband of a garment being worn by the wearer. The elongated flap is movable inside and/or outside the first elastic band and the second elastic band when the wearer manipulates the elastic bands and/or the elongated flap. The elongated flap is moved outside and/or inside to attach the container coupled with the carrier attachment assembly on the waist and/or the arm of the wearer respectively.

A portable hydration device for use with a portable hydration system is described. The portable hydration device comprises a housing having an inlet, configured to be in fluid communication with a reservoir of water, and an outlet configured to be in fluid communication with a mouthpiece; the housing defining a throughbore connecting the inlet and the outlet. The device also includes a receptacle configured to contain an additive and a selector. The selector is movable between an engaged position in which the selector is engaged with the receptacle and a disengaged position in which the selector is disengaged from the receptacle. In the engaged position the selector permits fluid communication between the receptacle and the throughbore and in the disengaged position the selector prevents fluid communication between the receptacle and the throughbore. The selector defines a throughbore, the selector throughbore being aligned with the housing throughbore in the engaged and the disengaged positions.

An apparatus wherein upper cords surround an object such as a water bottle or yoga mat. The upper cords go through an opening in a handle and have cord locks on the ends. The lower cords of an apparatus attach to a light source on go through an opening in the handle and have a cord lock holding the handle on. The lower cords also surround an object such as a water bottle or yoga mat.

A compression sleeve and flexible bottle combine to serve as a fluid carrier such as for water or sports beverages. The flexible bottle has an interior volume for holding the fluid, the flexible bottle being readily collapsible to conform the interior volume of the flexible bottle to a volume of the fluid held within the flexible bottle, with a compression sleeve surrounding the flexible bottle. A pull-cord is attached to the compression sleeve and is moveable from a first position in which the pull-cord is retracted to a second position in which the pull-cord is extended, in which moving the pull-cord from the first position to the second position causes a contraction of the compression sleeve and a corresponding contraction of the flexible bottle.

The invention describes a device for carrying beverage cans and bottles comprising a can clip element, a beverage bottle connector cord element and a grasper cord element. The three elements are intended to cooperate as one unit for use with cans and bottles. The can clip element's one-piece design comprising a proximal loop for securing a grasper element and a can engagement slot allows it to be reversibly secured to the top of an opened beverage. The design provides for easy carrying and does not interfere with the user's ability sip the contents of the opened container. The bottle securing attachment element allows it to be easily adjusted around the neck of a beverage bottle regardless of the neck's diameter. The design further allows the user to have both features available within one self-contained unit for use with beverage bottles or beverage cans, whatever the preference may be.
