ADAPTER FOR PROVIDING FLUID CONTROL BETWEEN A CANTEEN AND FACE MASK FLUID TUBE

摘要

A canteen especially useful in extreme environments includes a hollow watertight container adapted to hold a quantity of a drinking fluid. An adapter allows the canteen to be sealed with a gas mask adapter depending from the face mask, in such a manner as to allow the passage of fluid between the canteen and a delivery tube within th e mask accessible by a user with minimal or no contamination of the contents of the canteen in an identified nuclear, biological, or chemical threat. In a first position, the adapter allows fluid flow between delivery tube and the canteen, and in a second stopped position, fluid is prevented from leaving the canteen.
