A stringer for retaining empty beverage cans is disclosed. The stringer may include a catch at a first end of the stringer. The catch may be configured to be threaded through a hole in a tab of a beverage can. The stringer may also include a stopper that is configured to prevent the beverage cans from falling off of a second end of the stringer. An elongated neck may be positioned between the catch and the stopper that is configured to hold a plurality of beverage cans. The catch, the stopper, and the elongated neck may all be manufactured from a unitary piece of material or may be a combination of different materials. This material may be aluminum to allow the stringer to remain attached to cans during the recycling process or a ferromagnetic metal so that the stringer may be extracted magnetically in the recycling process.

A uniform beverage-container, or cylindrical-object, holder, having flexible arms and a clip. The body is a substantially truncated cylinder with a partially cut front area forming arms, into which a bottle may be placed. An anchoring member in the rear part of the bottle holder serves as a clip for attaching the bottle, or cylindrical object, holder to clothing or baggage. A lip is formed about the anchoring member preventing surface-to-surface contact between the anchoring member and the user's body. The bottom of the holder has a laterally positioned base. The base and arms flex, allowing a container or cylindrical object, to be removed in a motion that is directed downward and outward away from the clip. This allows a container to be removed without releasing the clip from what it is attached to.

Described herein are examples of a versatile insulation and secure storage system including an insulated sleeve, a first pocket, a second pocket, a fastener, and a multifunctional device. The insulated sleeve may be configured to surround and thermally insulate a container. The first pocket may be configured to hold a card a first card vertically within the insulated sleeve, and the second pocket may be configured to hold an identification card or driver's license within the insulated sleeve. The fastener may be configured to provide quick and reliable access to the second pocket. The multifunctional device may be attachable to an outer surface of the insulated sleeve, wherein the multifunctional device comprises various integrated components configured to provide additional functionality to the system.

A beverage container lighting and insulation device includes a first piece of insulating material. The beverage container lighting and insulation device further includes a spring oriented along a length of the insulating material, such that the spring causes the first piece of insulating material to coil. The beverage container lighting and insulation device further includes a lighting device joined with the first piece of insulating material, such that the lighting device lights the length of the first piece of insulating material.

A wearable modular carrying system, comprising: a belt; an attachment insert held next to the belt and configured with at least one of a locking post, with a top post prong and a bottom post prong, and a key-hole; and, a modular object configured for reversible attachment to the attachment insert.

A hydration system including a fluid reservoir, a fluid path in communication with the reservoir, and a magnetic quick connect interposed in the fluid path is disclosed. A fluid delivery system for a hydration system is also disclosed that includes a magnetic quick connect interposed in a fluid delivery path of the delivery system. The magnetic quick connect can also be used in a wide variety of fluid delivery systems. A kit for forming a fluid delivery system for a hydration system is also disclosed, as are various components of a hydration system.

Generally, aspects of the subject matter are directed to a carrying strap or a carrying loop suitable for use with a container. The carrying strap and loop include first and second attachment portions for securement to various locations on the container. In one example, a carrying strap has a stowed position, where the strap wraps around the container, to a carrying position, where the strap secures to a second location on the container such that the strap can be used to carry the container. In another example, a carrying loop has a deployed position, where the loop secures to only a first location on the container and is used to carry the container. The carrying straps and loops are suitably positioned as covering a label of the container, as a replacement for the label, or placed in any different position on the container from the label.

A beverage bottle is provided including a hollow body which has a top, a bottom and a substantially cylindrical sidewall. The beverage bottle's body has a tapered neck at the top of the bottle which terminates at the bottle's opening. In addition, the sidewall includes a pair of parallel longitudinally extending groves which form a projection between the grooves wherein the projection has a tapered edge at the bottle's tapered neck. In addition, the bottle's sidewall includes a longitudinally extending channel located diametrically opposed to the longitudinally extending projection. The channel extends from the bottle's bottom to the bottle's tapered neck and includes a diminishing depth at the bottle's tapered neck to form a tapered shelf. The projection and channel are configured so that the bottle's projection could be received within a channel of another similarly constructed beverage bottle so as to connect and affix two beverage bottles together.

A thermally insulated cooler for keeping canned drinks cold has a tubular shape. Cans are stacked in the tube one atop the other, and the inner diameter of the tube fits closely around the circumference of the cans. The length of the cooler can be sized to accommodate various numbers of cans. The cooler is of double wall construction, and the space between the walls is either a vacuum or a thermally insulating material. A coil spring in the bottom of the tube biases the cans through the upper end of the tube. A retaining ring mounted to the open end of the tube has an opening with radially inwardly projecting tabs that grip a can as the spring feeds it through the opening. The tabs hold the can partially protruding from the tube until a user affirmatively removes the can from the tube.

The present invention generally provides a portable beverage container holder device for allowing users to easily transport and use beverage containers of varying sizes and shapes, such as cans, bottles, or cups. In most embodiments, these could allow the user to carry multiple beverages at one time easily. It is ideal for servers at restaurants and bars and for home parties. It may also aid in the elderly or handicapped in being more able to carry beverages, food cans, bottles, and jars.
