Description
Drinking System The present invention relates to liquid containers and particularly to a liquid container and delivery means for a mobile hydration system. The present invention in particular relates to an apparatus whereby such a mobile hydration system can be effectively cooled, and also a material for achieving such effective cooling.
The principle of cooling liquids for consumption by a person through evaporation of a second liquid is widely known. Such arrangements are known, for example, in US6182464 which comprises a self cooling liquid container having a shell which may be come saturated with a liquid such as water and exposed to the atmosphere thus enabling the liquid within the shell to evaporate at an ambient temperature thus chilling the liquid inside the container through heat transfer. It is accepted that such an arrangement will maintain the liquid within the container cooler for longer than if such a shell is not present.
Rucksacks which are arranged to receive a reservoir and having a tube extending from the reservoir with a valve at the end of the tube which a user bites and thus sucks liquid from the reservoir have become widely available in recent years. They have become almost essential for use in a number of sporting activities and also for military users in hot and hostile environments. Such arrangements are beneficial as they enable a user to take on a greater volume of liquid without having to carry bottles or other containers. Such reservoirs i-nay vary in size and may keep a user hydrated for a number of hours. However, there is a significant problem with such arrangements in that heating of the liquid within the reservoir occurs due to the ambient temperature.
The present invention provides an arrangement overcoming such problems.
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is a mobile hydration system including a reservoir and an elongate member, the elongate member defining a conduit therethrough for transfer of liquid from the reservoir to a mouthpiece, the reservoir arranged to define an enclosure for receipt of the liquid, the walls of the enclosure and walls defining the conduit being substantially liquid impermeable, wherein at least a portion of one of the reservoir or elongate member have a covering thereon, the covering arranged to include a liquid absorbent material.
There are a number of benefits associated with such an arrangement. A standard reservoir and/or tube may be provided and adapted to include a covering which includes a liquid absorbent material. This liquid absorbent material can then be "charged" by immersion in water or any other liquid thereby ensuring cooling. Such a system is uncomplicated and will not result in any leakage of the fluid from the reservoir or tube which is destined for the user.
The system is arranged such that the covering comprises a first layer configured to be in thermal communication with at least a part of the reservoir and/or elongate member when in use, and a second layer including the liquid absorbent material.
1 5 The system may further comprise a third permeable layer.
The liquid absorbent material may comprise a matrix and wherein the liquid absorbent material may include a plurality of liquid absorbent crystals. The crystals are preferabaly retained by the matrix.
The liquid absorbent material may comprise a hydrogel.
The system beneficially further comprises a fourth layer located between the first and the second layer, the fourth layer comprising a second liquid absorbent material, different to the liquid absorbent material. The second liquid absorbent material may be a fabric.
The system may further comprise an adhesive for adhering the first layer to the portable drinking arrangement. The surface configuration of the second layer is beneficially undulating.
The covering beneficially comprises an anti-microbial portion. Even more beneficially, the second and/or third layer comprises an anti-microbial portion.
The elongate member is beneficially flexible, enabling ease of manipulation by a user.
The system further preferably includes a carrying device arranged to support the reservoir on the back of a user.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is a cooling arrangement for a portable drinking system, the cooling arrangement comprising a first layer configured to be in thermal contact with at least a part of the cooling system when in use, and a second layer including a liquid absorbent material.
Preferred features of the cooling arrangement are defined in the claims.
The present invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a mobile hydration system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Figure 2 is a schematic side view of the covering according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to Figure 1, there is a mobile hydration unit 2 which generally comprises a backpack 4 having straps 6 which when in use extend over a user's shoulders in order that the backpack sits against the user's back. This leads to a problem wherein heat energy is transferred from the ambient temperature and/or from the user into the liquid which makes the liquid less palatable for the user. This then often results in the user drinking less fluid than necessary. The backpack 4 is arranged to receive a reservoir (not shown) which has a tube 8 extending therefrom such that the liquid in the reservoir can be removed by sucking on a valve 10. The outlet 12 to the reservoir is provided at the lower portiOn thereof in order that a user can extract all of the liquid from the reservoir, particularly when the arrangement is in a generally upright configuration, for example when on a user's back. -4..
The reservoir comprises a sealable opening including a lid 14 which may be opened and closed in order to let fluid into the reservoir, and subsequently out of the reservoir if all of the liquid has not been used by the user. The aperture sealed by the lid should also be of sufficient area to enable cleaning of the inside of the reservoir.
In the embodiment represented in Figure 1, it will be appreciated that a predefined area of the reservoir has a covering which is arranged to include a liquid absorbent material 16. In one embodiment, a cut out portion may be provided in the rearward facing part of the rucksack 4 such that when the reservoir is slid into the rucksack 4 the liquid absorbent material 16 is arranged to protrude through the opening in the rucksack 4. When in use, the reservoir may be soaked in a liquid and subsequently located in the rucksack 4, or alternatively may be located in the rucksack 4 and subsequently immersed in liquid. The liquid absorbent material would then absorb fluid and the fluid then evaporates to the atmosphere keeping the fluid in the reservoir cooler.
In an alternative embodiment, a portion of the rucksack 4, which could be any percentage content of the rucksack 4, may be made of the covering including the liquid absorbent material. It will be appreciated however that in order for the object of the invention to be achieved, the inner wall of the covering must be in thermal communication with the reservoir. The covering may be in the form of a patch. The reservoir is slid into the rucksack 4 and thermal communication is then achieved. Alternatively, particularly for cooling of the reservoir, the covering may be sewn or otherwise fixed integrally into the rucksack 4. This would remove the requirement for adhesives and would mean that the reservoir could be removed from the rucksack 4 independently of the covering. It will also be appreciated that the covering may be removably attached to the rucksack 4 through the use of hook and loop type fitting arrangements such as Velcro TM This allows ease of cleaning of the covering.
Referring also to Figure 2, there is an exemplary embodiment of the covering according to the present invention including a liquid absorbent material which may be positioned on the reservoir and/or tube 8. The covering 18 includes a first layer which is configured to be in thermal communication with at least a part of the reservoir and/or elongate member when in use. The elongate member 8 is tubular and is beneficially flexible in order that it can be compliant to accommodate a user's position in use. The covering 1 8 may comprise an adhesive backing layer (not shown) for adhesion to the reservoir or tube 8.as required.
Clearly, the outline shape of the covering may be adapted to cover the tube 8 or a part thereof as indicated by reference numeral 20 and alternatively may be shaped to cover the reservoir or a portion thereof with the liquid absorbent material indicated in Figure 1 by reference numeral 16. The cover beneficially comprises backing layer 22 and a permeable layer 24 retaining the liquid absorbent material there between. The liquid absorbent material may be manufactured of a number of alternatives, including fabrics which may be 1 0 woven or non woven, for example, including micro fibres. Alternatively, absorbent crystals may be provided for example comprising potassium acrylate or acrylamid co-polymer hydrogels, There are numerous natural and organic options including starch, gelatine and agar. In one embodiment, as indicated in Figure 2a, the liquid absorbent material is retained between the backing layer 22 and the layer 24. In an alternative embodiment, however, the liquid absorbent material such as crystals may be retained in a matrix, preferably a fabric matrix, without the provision of the layer 24. A matrix is beneficial to retain crystals as will prevent significant migration of the crystals through the covering, thereby reducing effectiveness of the system.
The layer 24 must be gas permeable such that when in use liquid may evaporate from the liquid absorbent material to the surrounding environment. The backing layer 22 may be a fabric material and may provide a support to retain the liquid absorbent material in thermal communication with the reservoir or tube in order to allow heat transfer between the liquid in the reservoir from the liquid absorbent material. A wicking layer 26 may also be provided positioned between the backing layer and the liquid absorbent material.
Referring to an embodiment wherein the liquid absorbing material comprises hydrogel crystals, these may take some time to swell up and absorb the maximum volume of liquid.
Accordingly, a liquid absorbent wicking layer be provided which immediately absorbs liquid in the event that there is insufficient time for the hydrogels to swell to the desired degree.
The covering 18 (or partial covering) for the reservoir or tube may comprise an anti-microbial portion beneficially on the outer surface. This is important as the combination of heat and damp environment may lead to significant bacteria! growth. The anti-microbial material may in one embodiment include silver coated yarn in the covering. Such yarn can be integrally woven into a quilted material to form a matrix for liquid absorbent crystalline material such as hydrogel crystals, the crystals being retained by the matrix.
The present invention has been described by way of example only and it will be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that modifications and variations may be made without departing from the scope of appended claims.
