Washable, Hands-Free Hydration Glove for Unencumbered Motion

Abstract

A hydration device wherein a customized bladder is secured in a fixed position within a customized glove covering the topside surface area of a hand and the full 360-degree surface area of a forearm. A chamber stitched into an internal surface of the glove and a reclosable fastener secure the bladder's fixed position. The bladder is constructed with additional material on its sides, so that it conforms to the shape of and distributes the weight of its contents 360 degrees along the contours of the appendages. Two holes stitched into the outer portion of the glove expose the bladder's reclosable aperture for filling and a spout for extracting the bladder's contents. The bladder's contoured, 360-degree design impels the hydration device to lay fitted along the appendages with the spout purposefully positioned in a mouth's path during a normal arm swing, thereby promoting the user to maintain unaltered motion while drinking.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A wearable hydration device, comprising:
 A. A fabric glove with an internal and external surface that conforms to the shape of the hand and arm;   B. An outer portion with two different circular holes stitched into the fabric glove's external surface to expose embodiments of a bladder externally, a reclosable fastener forming the bottom portion of an internal chamber, and elastic bands sewn into the fabric glove around the fingers and a section of the forearm;   C. An inner portion with a chamber sewn into the internal surface of the glove, in the shape of a bladder, wherein the bladder can sit in a fixed position secured by fabric and the reclosable fastener.   
     
     
         2 . The glove of  claim 1 , wherein a chamber is sewn between the topside internal surface and other fabric of the glove that sits on the skin along the topside of the hand as well as the topside and underside of the forearm. 
     
     
         3 . A specially constructed, refillable hydration bladder that can fit secured inside the chamber of  claim 2 , comprising:
 A. A shape that mimics the contours of relevant appendages;   B. Additional material along the sides of its continuous form for holding greater contents;   C. An inner portion that holds contents;   D. An outer portion with a reclosable aperture for filling or emptying the bladder's contents, which is placed to permit exposure externally through the circular hole of the glove;   E. A reclosable cap for sealing the reclosable aperture and which is placed to permit exposure externally through a circular hole of the glove;   F. An outer portion with a spout for extracting the contents within the bladder's inner portion and which is placed to permit exposure externally through a circular hole of the glove.   
     
     
         4 . The hydration bladder of  claim 3 , wherein the spout sits at an angle that positions the spout in the path of a user's mouth while executing a normal arm swing during physical activity.
