Abstract

A dynamically deployable band. The dynamically deployable band includes a bistable metal spring body sized in length to coil around a limb of a human. The bistable metal spring body has a straight state and a coiled state. A straw is coupled to and spans along a substantial length of the bistable metal spring body.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A dynamically deployable band comprising:
 a bistable metal spring body sized in length to coil around a limb of a human and having a straight state and a coiled state; and   a straw comprising an elongated tube having a first opening at a first end and a second opening at a second end, wherein   the straw is coupled to and spans along a substantial length of the bistable metal spring body.   
     
     
         2 . The dynamically deployable band of  claim 1 , wherein the bistable metal spring body comprises an arcuate shape comprising a convex upper surface and a concave lower surface. 
     
     
         3 . The dynamically deployable band of  claim 2 , wherein the straw is coupled to the convex upper surface. 
     
     
         4 . The dynamically deployable band of  claim 1 , wherein the bistable metal spring body further comprises a coating made of a food grade material. 
     
     
         5 . The dynamically deployable band of  claim 4 , wherein the coating is silicone. 
     
     
         6 . A method of using a dynamically deployable band comprising steps of:
 providing the dynamically deployable band comprising:
 a bistable metal spring body having a straight state and a coiled state; and 
 a straw comprising an elongated tube having a first opening at a first end and a second opening at a second end, wherein 
 the straw is coupled to and spans along a substantial length of the bistable metal spring body; 
   grasping an end of the dynamically deployable band when the bistable metal spring body is in a straight position; and   striking the dynamically deployable band against a limb, wherein the dynamically deployable band coils around the limb and thereby converts to the coiled state.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , further comprising the steps of:
 removing the dynamically deployable band from the limb;   pulling apart ends of the dynamically deployable band, and thereby snapping the dynamically deployable band back to the straight state; and   placing the dynamically deployable band into a cup, wherein a liquid is disposed within the cup.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising the step of:
 drinking the liquid from the cup via the straw.
