Attachable Device for Providing Drinking Water and Storing Hot and Cold Food in an Outdoor Environment

Abstract

A device attachable to an article provides drinking water and storage of hot and cold food. The drinking water is stored in an insulated container that can be pressurized by a hand-pump inlet valve. A plastic tube is attached to an outlet extending to a position reachable to a user's mouth. The tube has a valve allowing the user to control the flow of the drinking water. The device further comprises a pair of insulated containers, one for storing cold food and the other hot food. The container with the drinking water and the pair of insulated containers are attachable to (and separable from) each other (or can be permanently affixed). A plurality of plastic clips can hold the tube to the article.

       2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device is attachable to a backpack and the tube is reachable to a user wearing the backpack such that the user is able to drink the drinking water supplied from the tube. 
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the tube is attachable to the backpack using a plurality of clips to hold the tube in place. 
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first component and the second component are attachable to each other using a male-female friction fit. 
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first portion and the second portion are permanently affixed to each other. 
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1 , where at least one of the plurality of insulated containers is suitable for holding cold food and at least one other of the plurality of containers is suitable for holding hot food. 
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the cold food is kept at a temperature below 50 degree Fahrenheit and the hot food is kept at a temperature above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first component and the second component are each about sixteen inches in length. 
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the inlet valve is structured and arranged such that the drinking water can be pressurized by hand pumping air into the insulated container. 
   
   
       10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device is attachable to a golf cart. 
   
   
       11 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device is attachable to a horse saddle. 
   
   
       12 . A kit for attaching to a backpack a device for providing drinking water and storing hot and cold food during a camping trip, comprising:
 a first component including an insulated container capable of holding pressurized drinking water, the insulated container including an inlet valve allowing air to flow into the insulated container sufficient to pressurize drinking water therein and an outlet allowing the pressurized water to flow outwardly; and   tubing attachable to the outlet capable of transporting the drinking water;   wherein the first component is attachable to a backpack and the first component is attachable to a second component.   
   
   
       13 . The kit of  claim 12 , further comprising the second component, the second component including a pair of insulated containers. 
   
   
       14 . The kit of  claim 13 , wherein each of the pair of insulated containers is openable. 
   
   
       15 . The kit of  claim 13 , wherein one of the pair of insulated containers is suitable for storing cold food and the other is suitable for storing hot food. 
   
   
       16 . The kit of  claim 15 , wherein the cold food is kept at a temperature below 50 degree Farenheit and the hot food is kept at a temperature above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. 
   
   
       17 . The kit of  claim 13 , wherein the first component and the second component are each about sixteen inches in length. 
   
   
       18 . The kit of  claim 12 , further comprising a plurality of plastic clips for securing the tubing to the backpack. 
   
   
       19 . The kit of  claim 12 , further including a set of instructions. 
   
   
       20 . The kit of  claim 12 , wherein each of the pair of insulated containers is lockable.
