Liquid Carrying Attachment for a Mouth Guard

Abstract

A Liquid-Carrying Attachment for a Mouthguard providing a liquid-carrying container shaped and sized to fit into the roof of a person's mouth, attached to a mouthguard, where liquid can be dispensed into a person's mouth by the application of tongue pressure, and the container can be refilled as necessary.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A liquid-carrying attachment for a mouthguard comprising:
 a liquid-carrying container made of shape-retaining flexible material shaped and sized to fit into the roof of a person's mouth, having a throat end facing a person's throat and an opposite teeth end facing a person's front teeth;   an orifice in said throat end of said liquid-carrying container;   a flexible strap attached to said teeth end of said liquid-carrying container and extending outward therefrom; and   a mouthguard-attachment section on said flexible strap close to said teeth end;   where said flexible strap is placed through an opening in a mouthguard and attached at said mouthguard-attachment section, placing said liquid-carrying container within the arch of a mouthguard and the roof of a person's mouth, with said orifice pointing toward a person's throat;   where said liquid-carrying attachment carries liquid inside a person's mouth, where it can be dispensed into a person's mouth by the application of tongue pressure; and   where said liquid-carrying attachment can be refilled as necessary.   
     
     
         2 . The liquid-carrying attachment for a mouthguard of  claim 1 , where said shape-retaining flexible material further comprises a plastic or rubber safe for wearing in a person's mouth. 
     
     
         3 . The liquid-carrying attachment for a mouthguard of  claim 1 , where said orifice further comprises a valve that will release liquid upon the application of tongue pressure. 
     
     
         4 . The liquid-carrying attachment for a mouthguard of  claim 1 , where said mouthguard-attachment section further comprises at least one segment having concave or convex portions where said concave or convex portions engage with corresponding portions in a mouthguard, making a secure attachment. 
     
     
         5 . A method for carrying liquid inside a person's mouth using a liquid-carrying attachment for a mouthguard, comprising:
 providing a liquid-carrying container made of shape-retaining flexible material shaped and sized to fit into the roof of a person's mouth, having a throat end facing a person's throat and an opposite teeth end facing a person's front teeth;   providing an orifice in said throat end of said liquid-carrying container;   providing a flexible strap attached to said teeth end of said liquid-carrying container and extending outward therefrom; and   providing a mouthguard-attachment section on said flexible strap close to said teeth end;   where said flexible strap is placed through an opening in a mouthguard and attached at said mouthguard-attachment section, placing said liquid-carrying container within the arch of a mouthguard and the roof of a person's mouth, with said orifice pointing toward a person's throat; and   where said liquid-carrying attachment carries liquid inside a person's mouth, where it can be dispensed into a person's mouth by the application of tongue pressure, and can be refilled as necessary.   
     
     
         6 . The method for carrying liquid inside a person's mouth using a liquid-carrying attachment for a mouthguard of  claim 5 , where said shape-retaining flexible material further comprises a plastic or rubber safe for wearing in a person's mouth. 
     
     
         7 . The method for carrying liquid inside a person's mouth using a liquid-carrying attachment for a mouthguard of  claim 5 , where said orifice further comprises a valve that will release liquid upon the application of tongue pressure. 
     
     
         8 . The method for carrying liquid inside a person's mouth using a liquid-carrying attachment for a mouthguard of  claim 5 , where said mouthguard-attachment section further comprises at least one segment having concave or convex portions where said concave or convex portions engage with corresponding portions in a mouthguard, making a secure attachment.
