If present, elastic straps extend around the bladder and are perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the bladder, and are adjustable by a hook and loop attachment. A plug is removably connected to an opening in the bladder, which opening serves to introduce fluid into the bladder. A swivel joint may be attached to the cap and provide a fluid passageway between the interior of the bladder and the exterior of the bladder.
Una pajita o pitillo flexible puede extenderse desde un extremo exterior de la junta giratoria o la tapa para succionar el líquido alojado. Tanto si se utiliza una articulación giratoria como si no, el pitillo se extiende desde el extremo de la mano de la vejiga y extrae agua del manguito generalmente desde el extremo del codo de la vejiga. El punto en el que el usuario bebe agua está en el extremo de la pajita adyacente ai extremo de la mano, y el agua se extrae en un punto adyacente al extremo del codo. A flexible straw or straw may extend from an outer end of the swivel joint or lid to suck up lodged liquid. Whether or not a swivel joint is used, the straw extends from the hand end of the bladder and draws water from the cuff generally from the elbow end of the bladder. The point at which the user drinks water is at the end of the straw adjacent to the end of the hand, and the water is drawn at a point adjacent to the end of the elbow.
En el documento de patente US2017360184 publicado en Estados Unidos, se divulga un dispositivo de hidratación que incluye una funda que se lleva de forma segura en una extremidad, como un antebrazo de un usuario y contiene una vejiga para contener líquidos como agua, bebidas deportivas, etc. La vejiga es extraíble e incluye un puerto de llenado y una válvula para beber. El dispositivo de hidratación puede diseñarse para absorber impactos mientras se usa, pero es lo suficientemente liviano y flexible para adaptarse al cuerpo del usuario. In patent document US2017360184 published in the United States, a hydration device is disclosed that includes a sleeve that is worn securely on an extremity, such as a user's forearm, and contains a bladder for holding liquids such as water, sports drinks, etc. The bladder is removable and includes a fill port and drinking valve. The hydration device may be designed to absorb shock while in use, but is light and flexible enough to conform to the user's body.
En el documento de patente US2016083163 publicado en Estados Unidos, se divulga un dispositivo de hidratación que incluye: una banda de material con forma y dimensión específica para ajustarse alrededor de la extremidad de un usuario; un bolsillo de vejiga conectado a la banda de material de ¡a manga; una abertura que se extiende hacia el interior del bolsillo de la vejiga para permitir la inserción de una vejiga de hidratación en el bolsillo de la vejiga; y un puerto de boquilla que se extiende a través de la banda de material de manga.

Otra necesidad identificada es disponer de agua potabilizada para el usuario de prácticas deportivas, la cual es deseable obtener captando agua de cualquier fuente sea natural o de un acueducto. Another identified need is to have potable water available for the user of sports practices, which is desirable to obtain by capturing water from any source, be it natural or from an aqueduct.
Para la filtración y purificación de agua se han desarrollado diversos sistemas. Por ejemplo, la solicitud de patente colombiana CO 09073503 da a conocer un filtro biológico para purificación de agua, el cual comprende un recipiente interno desarenador, una aspiración por membrana del líquido, una membrana plástica retenedora de residuos, entre otros. Sin embargo, a pesar de la eficiencia de este sistema, requiere de mucho espacio para su impíementación, de manera que no resulta práctico para la incorporación en recipientes empleados en prácticas deportivas. Various systems have been developed for the filtration and purification of water. For example, Colombian patent application CO 09073503 discloses a biological filter for water purification, which comprises an internal desilter container, a liquid membrane aspiration, a plastic membrane waste collector, among others. However, despite the efficiency of this system, it requires a lot of space for its implementation, so it is not practical for incorporation in containers used in sports practices.
Por lo anterior, sigue existiendo la necesidad de lograr un dispositivo ergonómico que le suministre agua potabilizada al deportista o cualquier usuario y que pueda ser bebida de inmediato sin tener que suspender su actividad además de que el agua que almacene en dicho dispositivo pueda ser recolectada de cualquier fuente que esté a su alcance sin ningún peligro para su salud.
