Abstract

A wearable snack and beverage storing and dispensing and body cooling and heating container, generally configured, in its preferred embodiment in a spiral design, formed tubing, having a central reservoir with spiral tubing integrally extending therefrom, having a filling area at one end, with a dispensing valve at its opposite end. The device is shaped and contains inherent memory to fit directly upon the head of the user. Alternative embodiments include a flapped and fingered wrap that fits upon the head, and other embodiments include spiral tubing that may fit upon the wrist, arm, leg, or other body parts. Various other novelty items and accessories may be applied to the reservoir and its tube shaped member.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A wearable device formed having a reservoir segment integrally formed with a spiral tubular segment, wherein a substance provided within the reservoir and tubular segment is capable of consumption, or influencing body temperature, said reservoir segment having an access opening, a closure cap provided for closing of the access opening, after a filling of the device with a substance, a dispenser provided at the other end of said tubular segment, for dispensing of the substance when disposed for discharge, and said tubular segment being coiled, and in combination with its reservoir, capable of being shaped and fitted onto the head of the wearer. 
     
     
         2 . The dispensing container of  claim 1  wherein said spiral tubing having sufficient flexibility to conform to the contours of the wearer's head, and said spiral tubing having sufficient resiliency to provide for its pressure fitting upon the head of the wearer. 
     
     
         3 . The dispensing device of  claim 2  wherein said closure cap threadily engages onto the reservoir of said device. 
     
     
         4 . The dispensing device of  claim 2  wherein said closure cap pressure fitting onto the reservoir of said dispensing device. 
     
     
         5 . The dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said dispensing valve comprises a slit, which when pressed, opens to allow for discharge of contained product, and when released, reorients into closure to prevent the dispensing of its contents. 
     
     
         6 . The dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said closure valve includes a spray means, which when actuated, can discharge a spray onto the user during application. 
     
     
         7 . The dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said closure valve incorporates a spigot, which when opened, allows for discharge of its contained substance, and when closed, preventing the discharge of its contained substance. 
     
     
         8 . The dispensing container of  claim 1  wherein said dispensing device is used for dispensing of candy, wherein said closure valve incorporates an indexing means, that allows for the individual dispensing of candy from the valve end of the spiral tubing. 
     
     
         9 . The dispensing device of  claim 8  wherein the end of said spiral tubing incorporates a scoop configuration that can retain the individual candies as it is dispensed to the wearer. 
     
     
         10 . The dispensing device of  claim 1 , wherein said valve end of the spiral tubing locates in proximity to the mouth of its wearer. 
     
     
         11 . The dispensing device of  claim 1 , wherein one of a novelty and accessory item is connected to the reservoir to add to the attractiveness of the said device. 
     
     
         12 . The dispensing device of  claim 11 , wherein the accessory includes a sun visor. 
     
     
         13 . The dispensing device of  claim 12 , wherein the visor clamps onto the spiral tubing of the said device. 
     
     
         14 . The dispensing device of  claim 12 , wherein the accessory includes a C clamp, and said C clamp capable of connecting onto the spiral tubing to hold the accessory item in place. 
     
     
         15 . The dispensing device of  claim 12 , wherein the novelty item connects onto the closure cap of the said reservoir. 
     
     
         16 . The dispensing device of  claim 1 , wherein the reservoir and integral spiral tubing may be moved into a flattened condition, during storage, but said reservoir and spiral tubing may be expanded, upon application to the head of the wearer. 
     
     
         17 . A dispensing device for use for holding a substance, said dispensing device including a reservoir, a series of hollow flaps extending radiating from said reservoir, said reservoir and hollow flaps capable of filling with a substance, for application and draping upon the head of the wearer, and said reservoir having an opening through which a substance may be applied, to fill it in preparation for application to the head of the wearer. 
     
     
         18 . The dispensing device of  claim 18 , wherein said closure means includes a cap, which when removed, allows for filling or dispensing of the substance contained within said device, and a cap providing for closure upon said reservoir, to prevent the discharge of any substance contained therein. 
     
     
         19 . The dispensing device of  claim 18  and including an elastic means interconnecting between the lower ends of the device flaps, to function as a means for retaining of the dispensing device upon the head of the wearer during its application. 
     
     
         20 . A dispensing device for holding a substance in the category of one of a liquid, beverage, candy or other substance, said dispensing device comprising a length of spiral tubing, said spiral tubing having a cap at one end, which when removed, allows for filling of the spiral tubing with one of the aforesaid substance, the opposite end of said spiral tubing having a valve integrated therein, which when opened, allows for dispensing of the contained substance, said spiral tubing capable of expanding, to allow for application of the dispensing device to the wrist, arm, and leg of the wearer.
