Abstract

A drink system comprising a platform configured to extend between supporting members. The drink system comprises a body configured to traverse a plane between the two supporting members when attached to the platform, the body comprising an interior space configured to store liquid. The drink system optionally comprises a tube to draw the liquid from the body. The tube comprising a first portion configured to fit within the body and a second portion configured to extend outside the body. The drink system optionally includes a clip configured to attach to the second portion of the tube for placement of the tube relative to a user to draw the liquid from the body.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for drinking liquid comprising:
 placing, under a weighted object, a first portion of the platform configured for placement between a furniture piece and the weighted object;   inserting, into a receptacle of the platform, a body that forms an interior space configured to store a liquid; and   positioning, relative to the body, a tube for drawing the liquid from the body such that a first open end of the tube is within the body and a second open end of the tube is outside the body, wherein the tube is positioned relative to the weighted object for a user to draw the liquid from the body.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 a second portion of the platform extends from an edge of the furniture piece in a plane between the furniture piece and the weighted object; and   inserting the body comprises inserting the body such that the body is secured in the second portion of the platform.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein:
 the receptacle comprises an opening in the second portion; and   inserting the body comprises inserting the body through the opening.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein inserting the body comprises:
 sliding the body across an edge of the platform; and   supporting, by the platform, the body at a fixed location along the edge of the platform.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the weighted object comprises a cushion or mattress of the furniture piece; and   placing the platform comprises sliding the first portion of the platform under the cushion or the mattress.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
 opening a lid of the body; and   filling the interior space with liquid.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein positioning the tube comprises inserting the tube in an opening of the body and bending the tube to a fixed position proximate to the user. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the tube comprises a clip attached to the tube in a portion of the tube outside the body; and   positioning the tube comprises clipping with the clip the tube to the weighted object or the user.   
     
     
         9 . A drink system for connecting to two supporting members, the drink system comprising:
 a platform configured to extend between the two supporting members;   a body configured to traverse a plane between the two supporting members when attached to the platform, the body comprising an interior space configured to store liquid;   a tube to draw the liquid from the body, the tube comprising a first portion configured to fit within the body and a second portion configured to extend outside the body; and   a clip configured to attach to the second portion of the tube for placement of the tube, relative to a user, to draw the liquid from the body.   
     
     
         10 . The drink system of  claim 9 , wherein:
 the platform has an opening in a planar surface of the platform in the plane between the two supporting members; and   the body is configured to fit within the opening with a major axis of the body perpendicular to the planar surface.   
     
     
         11 . The drink system of  claim 9 , wherein the platform comprises an opening sized to fit a cross-section of the body in the plane between the two supporting members. 
     
     
         12 . The drink system of  claim 11 , wherein the platform comprises a first rigid material and the opening comprises a second flexible material attached to the platform and extending around the opening, the flexible material configured to conform around the body. 
     
     
         13 . The drink system of  claim 9 , wherein a cross-section of the platform in the plane between the two supporting members is rectangular with rounded corners. 
     
     
         14 . The drink system of  claim 9 , wherein the platform and body are made of a rigid material and the tube is made of a positional material. 
     
     
         15 . The drink system of  claim 9 , wherein the body comprises a compartment in liquid communication with the interior space and sized to hold objects designed to remove components from the liquid or add components to the liquid. 
     
     
         16 . The drink system of  claim 9 , wherein the body is configured to visually display a volume of liquid remaining in the body. 
     
     
         17 . The drink system of  claim 9 , wherein the system further comprises a pressurized mechanism to apply pressure on the liquid as liquid is drawn through the tube. 
     
     
         18 . The drink system of  claim 9 , further comprising a liner or insert positioned within the interior space of the body, the liner or insert configured to prevent the liquid from contacting the body. 
     
     
         19 . The drink system of  claim 9 , wherein:
 the body comprises a removable lid configured to close an opening of the body;   the removable lid comprises one or more openings configured to provide access to the interior space of the body; and   the tube is configured to pass through the one or more openings of the removable lid.   
     
     
         20 . The drink system of  claim 9 , wherein the platform is configured for insertion into furniture. 
     
     
         21 . The drink system of  claim 9 , wherein the platform is detachable from the body. 
     
     
         22 . A drink system for a furniture piece, the furniture piece comprising a top edge and a lateral edge, the drink system comprising:
 a platform configured to be supported by the furniture piece at the top edge, the platform comprising a first portion and a second portion, the first portion positioned above the top edge of the furniture piece, and the second portion extending laterally outward from the lateral edge of the furniture piece; and   a body with an interior space configured to store liquid, the body supported at the second portion of the platform.   
     
     
         23 . The drink system of  claim 22 , further comprising:
 a tube to draw the liquid from the body, the tube comprising a first portion within the interior space of the body and a second portion extending outside the body; and   a clip attached to the second portion, the clip configured to attach the tube to a member supported by the top edge of the furniture piece.
