Hook-shaped water bottle that slides and hooks into a waistband or belt

Abstract

A water bottle has a hook-shaped design that allows a user to easily slide it into a waistband or into a pocket without requiring extra hardware to attach it. The hook of the bottle rests on the waistband and the lower portion water bottle stays put, tucked inside the user's waistband while the person is in motion. A runner, for example, can run efficiently while carrying the water bottle, allowing them to utilize something they are already wearing—their waistband. The contoured shape of the bottle allows the runner or active individual to easily remove the bottle for drinking and slide it back into the waistband without much effort. The contoured shape comfortably rests against the body so that runners/individuals sometime forget it is on the waistband.
