Armband-supported liquid refreshment carrier

摘要

A dispenser for liquid refreshment is removably carried in a pocket attached to an armband. The armband is adapted to be worn on an upper arm of a person engaged in a continuous physical activity such as running. The dispenser, a flask of oval cross section has an upper closure and filler cap including a squirting spout. While being engaged in the activity such as running, the wearer of the armband and pocket may remove the flask from the pocket and use all or a portion of the liquid by squirting the liquid into an opened mouth. The pocket includes a shorter, rectangular outer wall and a longer rectangular inner wall which is disposed adjacent and is attached to the armband in a central portion of its adjacent major surface. The outward facing surface of the inner wall serves as a guide surface to reinsert the flask into the pocket. The inner wall is of a length substantially equal to the length of the flask. Thus, when the flask is inserted into the pocket, the inner wall is a protective interface between the runner's arm and the flask. The oval cross-sectional shape of the flask shapes the edges of the pocket to cause such edges to become spaced from the arm of the person wearing the armband. The spacing is sufficient to prevent abrasive contact as a result of relative movement between the edges of the pocket and the arm of the wearer.
