Abstract

A flexible, low profile, wearable, concealable fluid container is filled with fluid through at least one filling ports. The thin, wearable, concealable, container comprises one or more separate fluid bladders having at least one sealed point between the front and rear bladder walls to ensure a low profile expansion of the container when filled with fluid to maintain concealment while the container is being worn. The wearable fluid container pouch comprises two opposing pliable sidewalls.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Having thus described the invention, I claim A fluid container comprising 
 at least one bladder, the bladder having a first sidewall and a second sidewall connected at their periphery so as to define a fluid cavity;    at least one port fluidly connected with the bladder; and    at least one sealing point connecting the first sidewall with the second sidewall to prevent overexpansion of the fluid cavity, 
 a. at least one separate and enclosed fluid bladder,  
 b. wherein each fluid bladder is filled through at least one fill port, and  
 c. each fluid bladder comprises two opposing pliable sidewalls, and  
 d. each bladders perimeter seal connects side one and side two, and  
 e. each fluid bladder has at least one sealed point between side one and side two, and  
 f. multiple fluid containers may be connected in various configurations to create the final product, although each container remains its own separate and enclosed system, and  
 g. each chamber may have one piece of flexible tubing connected, and  
 h. each piece of tubing may terminate in a valve or short tube following and attached to valve.  
   
   
   
       2 . A flexible fluid pouch comprising 
 at least one bladder, the bladder having a first sidewall and a second sidewall connected at their periphery so as to define a fluid cavity;    at least one port fluidly connected with the bladder; and    at least one ventilating sealing point connecting the first sidewall with the second sidewall to prevent overexpansion of the fluid cavity, 
 a. At least one separate and enclosed fluid pouch,  
 b. a walled cavity which is sealed at perimeter creating a void fluid pouch; and  
 c. a port for filling said void; and  
 d. each fluid cavity has at least one sealed point connecting the walls of said cavity at a location other than said perimeter, thus limiting the expansion of the pouch when void is filled with fluid; and  
 e. each chamber sealed point contains a ventilation hole or perforation for ventilation hole therein; and  
 f. each ventilation hole does not diminish the integrity of the fluid containing fluid cavity.  
   
   
   
       3 . A flexible contoured fluid container comprising 
 at least one bladder, the bladder having a first sidewall and a second sidewall connected at their periphery so as to define a fluid cavity;    at least one port fluidly connected with the bladder; and    a contoured design to form to the shapes of the human body thereon; and    a plurality of means for attaching bladder to a human body, 
 a. At least one separate and enclosed fluid pouch,  
 b. a walled cavity which is sealed at perimeter creating a void fluid pouch; and  
 c. a port for filling said void; and  
 d. each fluid cavity has at least one sealed point connecting the walls of said cavity at a location other than said perimeter, thus limiting the expansion of the pouch when void is filled with fluid.  
   
   
   
       4 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second sidewalls comprise a material selected from the group but not limited to consisting of polyethylene, urethane, and vinyl, or combination thereof.  
   
   
       5 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second sidewalls comprise a material at a thickness of not less than 2 mil gauge and not greater than 50 mil gauge.  
   
   
       6 . The fluid container of  claim 2 , wherein at least one said the sealed point comprise of at least one ventilation hole to allow the flow of air through to a human body of a wearer of the fluid container thereon.  
   
   
       7 . The fluid container of  claim 2 , wherein at least one said sealed point contains at least one perforation for a removable piece of material therein, to provide a ventilation holes to allow the flow of air through to a body of a wearer of the fluid container.  
   
   
       8 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein maximum capacity of the bladder ranges from 50 ml to 2 liters.  
   
   
       9 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second sheets are constructed with permeable or impermeable polymer based materials.  
   
   
       10 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second sheets are constructed with colored material or color is affixed thereon.  
   
   
       11 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second sheets are constructed with comfort external layer for on-body wear.  
   
   
       12 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second sheets are constructed with washable materials for multiple reuses.  
   
   
       13 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second sheets are constructed with hypoallergenic material.  
   
   
       14 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second sheets are constructed with flushable material.  
   
   
       15 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said first and second sheets are constructed of noise dampening material.  
   
   
       16 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said valve provide for gas release without releasing fluid.  
   
   
       17 . The fluid container of  claim 1 , wherein said bladder contains a sponge or other absorbent material that limits the motion of fluids contained therein.  
   
   
       18 . The fluid container of  claim 3 , wherein said bladder is attached to the human body using but not limited to adhesive, Velcro, tape, strap, or garment thereon.  
   
   
       19 . The fluid container of  claim 3 , wherein said bladder is molded to stay thin when filled with fluid and expand in accordance with the curvature of the human body, the intended placement on the body thereon.
