Hydration manifold with flow divider

Abstract

Embodiments of the apparatus is a personal hydration apparatus comprising a drink manifold with a receptor configured such that a water tight seal can form between a threaded bottle and the receptor. A check valve is coupled to the drink manifold configure to allow air into manifold and a first tube coupled to the manifold that is configured to allow liquid to be drawn from the threaded bottle. The hydration manifold allows an individual the convenience of using a conventional bottle filled with liquid in a hydration system accessible through a hose.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A personal hydration apparatus comprising:
 a drink manifold with a receptor configured such that a water tight seal can form between a threaded bottle and the receptor;   a flow divider inserted in the receptor;   a check valve coupled to the drink manifold configure to allow air into manifold; and   a first tube coupled to the manifold that is configured to allow liquid to be drawn from the threaded bottle.   
     
     
         2 . The personal hydration apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the threaded bottle is configures to hold a hot liquid. 
     
     
         3 . The personal hydration apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the check valve is coupled to the manifold by a second tube. 
     
     
         4 . The personal hydration apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising an adaptor that fits water tight into the receptor configured to allow different screw threads. 
     
     
         5 . The personal hydration apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the person hydration apparatus is light enough to be carried by an individual. 
     
     
         6 . A personal hydration system comprising:
 a drink manifold with a receptor configured such that a water tight seal can form between a bottle and the receptor;   a check valve connected to the drink manifold configure to allow air into manifold;   a tube connected to the manifold that is configured to allow liquid to be drawn from the bottle; and   a wall divider inserted in the receptor configured to prevent air from the check valve from entering the tub.
