Belt and bottle mounting system for a belt

Abstract

A belt including a belt portion, a bottle connector integrated into the belt portion, the bottle connector defining a receiving opening, and a bottle including a bottle hook, wherein the bottle hook is configured to be inserted into the receiving opening of the bottle connector, thereby mounting the bottle on the belt. A bottle mounting system for a belt includes a bottle having a spout and a removable cap, a hook configured to be disposed over the bottle spout and retained on the bottle by the removable cap, and a connector integrated into a belt to define a receiving opening for the hook.

1 . A belt comprising:
 a belt portion;   a bottle connector integrated into said belt portion, said bottle connector defining a receiving opening;   a bottle having a projecting spout;   a bottle hook attached to the bottle;   wherein said bottle hook is configured to be inserted into said receiving opening of said bottle connector, thereby mounting said bottle on said belt in an upright orientation.   
     
     
         2 . The belt according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottle hook includes a central opening configured to be disposed over the projecting spout. 
     
     
         3 . The belt according to  claim 2 , wherein the bottle further includes a removable cap disposed over the projecting spout, the bottle hook being secured to the bottle by the removable cap. 
     
     
         4 . The belt according to  claim 3 , wherein the projecting spout includes a screw thread and the removable cap is threadedly engaged over the projecting spout. 
     
     
         5 . The belt according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottle hook is disposed on a rear surface of the bottle. 
     
     
         6 . The belt according to  claim 5 , wherein the bottle has an ergonomically contoured shape, the bottle hook configured to follow the ergonomically contoured shape of the bottle. 
     
     
         7 . The belt according to  claim 5 , wherein the bottle hook tapers downwardly from a top of the bottle hook to a bottom of the bottle hook. 
     
     
         8 . The belt according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottle connector includes opposing side flange portions configured to integrate the bottle connector into said belt portion. 
     
     
         9 . The belt according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottle connector further includes a protruding central portion spaced from a surface of the belt to thereby define the receiving opening for the bottle hook. 
     
     
         10 . The belt according to  claim 9 , wherein the protruding central portion is tapered from an upper surface to a lower surface such that the receiving opening for the bottle hook is also tapered from an upper opening portion to a lower opening portion. 
     
     
         11 . A bottle mounting system for a belt, said mounting system comprising:
 a bottle having a spout and a removable cap;   a hook configured to be disposed over the bottle spout and retained on the bottle by the removable cap; and   a connector integrated into a belt to define a receiving opening for the hook.   
     
     
         12 . The bottle mounting system according to  claim 11 , wherein the hook includes a central opening configured to be disposed over the bottle spout. 
     
     
         13 . The bottle mounting system according to  claim 12 , wherein the bottle spout includes a screw thread and the removable cap is threadedly engaged over the bottle spout. 
     
     
         14 . The bottle mounting system according to  claim 11 , wherein the hook is disposed on a rear surface of the bottle. 
     
     
         15 . The bottle mounting system according to  claim 14 , wherein the bottle has an ergonomically contoured shape, the hook configured to follow the ergonomically contoured shape of the bottle. 
     
     
         16 . The bottle mounting system according to  claim 15 , wherein the hook tapers downwardly from a top of the hook to a bottom of the hook. 
     
     
         17 . The bottle mounting system according to  claim 11 , wherein the connector includes opposing side flange portions configured to integrate the connector into a belt. 
     
     
         18 . The bottle mounting system according to  claim 17 , wherein the connector further includes a central portion configured to be spaced from a surface of the belt to thereby define the receiving opening for the hook. 
     
     
         19 . The bottle mounting system according to  claim 18 , wherein the central portion is tapered from an upper surface to a lower surface such that the receiving opening for the hook is also tapered from an upper opening portion to a lower opening portion. 
     
     
         20 . The bottle mounting system according to  claim 11 , wherein the bottle  10  has a spout angle in the range of approximately 15.0°-18.0° and back angle in the range of 3.0°-4.5°.
