Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/039,826 filed on Aug. 20, 2014, which application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Running and other sports are hugely popular activities. They are engaged in for fun, to obtain health benefits, for competition or any other number of reasons. Further, there are tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, of people who engage in these activities on a regular basis.

[0003] On constant for those engaged in these activities is the need to remain hydrated. That is, those who participate need to be able to take water or other fluids into their body. This is because strenuous activity results in sweating and other moisture loss. Hydration replaces this moisture and allows the participant to continue the activity.

[0004] Further, many participants are reluctant to leave other accessories behind. For example, a jogger may wish to take his/her keys when going jogging. However, these are likely to bounce out of a pocket or other structure with an open top.

[0005] There are accessories for carrying these items. However, they share one flaw. The position of items relative to the user is static. That is, a water bottle, or pouch or clip or other item is fixed relative to the carrying accessory. Therefore, the user must pick some items which are difficult to reach or move the whole accessory to access the desired item. This can lead to discomfort or pain for the user.

[0006] Accordingly, there is a need in the art for an accessory that allows the user to access any desired item without having to remove or move the entirety of the accessory.

This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential characteristics of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining the scope of the claimed subject matter.

[0008] One example embodiment includes a hydration spin belt for allowing a user to secure a multitude of accessories. The hydration spin belt includes an inner belt secured to user's body and an outer belt, wherein the outer belt is attached to the inner belt. The hydration spin belt also includes one or more attachments for securing personal items. The one or more attachments are connected to the outer belt.

[0009] Another example embodiment includes a hydration spin belt for allowing a user to secure a multitude of accessories.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] To further clarify various aspects of some example embodiments of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only illustrated embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings in which:

[0013] FIG. 1A illustrates a front top perspective view of the example of a hydration spin belt;

[0014] FIG. 1B illustrates a top view of the example of a hydration spin belt;

[0015] FIG. 1C illustrates a front bottom perspective view of the example of a hydration spin belt;

[0016] FIG. 1D illustrates a rear view of the example of a hydration spin belt;

[0017] FIG. 1E illustrates a left view of the example of a hydration spin belt; and

[0018] FIG. 1F illustrates a right view of the example of a hydration spin belt.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SOME EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS

[0019] Reference will now be made to the figures wherein like structures will be provided with like reference designations. It is understood that the figures are diagrammatic and schematic representations of some embodiments of the invention, and are not limiting of the present invention, nor are they necessarily drawn to scale.

[0020] FIGS. 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E and 1F (collectively "FIG. 1") illustrate an example of a hydration spin belt 100. FIG. 1A illustrates a front top perspective view of the example of a hydration spin belt 100; FIG. 1B illustrates a top view of the example of a hydration spin belt 100; FIG. 1C illustrates a front bottom perspective view of the example of a hydration spin belt 100; FIG. 1D illustrates a rear view of the example of a hydration spin belt 100; FIG. 1E illustrates a left view of the example of a hydration spin belt 100; and FIG. 1F illustrates a right view of the example of a hydration spin belt 100. The hydration spin belt 100 allows a user to place accessories on his/her body in a desired position. In particular, the hydration spin belt 100 allows a user to place the accessories wherever desired and to adjust the position of the accessories during an activity.

[0021] FIG. 1 shows that the hydration spin belt 100 can include an inner belt 102. The inner belt 102 is secured to user's body. I.e., the inner belt remains in place and does not move relative to user's body once secured. Therefore, the inner belt 102 acts as a conventional belt or pack in that it remains in a single location during use. The inner belt 102 can be secured in a position of comfort for the user. I.e., the inner belt 102 while being secured can be adjusted and sized to an individual user. For example, the inner belt 102 can include a buckle, clip, hook and loop fastener, or any other desired mechanism that allows the user to adjust the size of the inner belt 102. E.g., the inner belt 102 can include a side release buckle or other mechanism for allowing the user to secure the inner belt 102.

[0022] FIG. 1 also shows that the hydration spin belt 100 can include an outer belt 104. The outer belt 104 attaches to the inner belt 102. The outer belt 104 can be sized along with the inner belt 102. I.e., the buckle or clip that secures the inner belt 102 can likewise adjust the size of the outer belt 104 (or vice versa).

[0023] FIG. 1 further shows that the hydration spin belt 100 can include one or more attachments 106. The one or more attachments 106 allow a user to secure personal items. For example, the one or more attachments 106 can include water bottles, water bottle holders, pouches, phone holder, key holder, etc. The one or more attachments 106 are movably connected to the outer belt 104. Thus, the one or more attachments 106 are allowed to move relative to the outer belt 104, allowing the user to more easily access the attachments 106.

[0024] One of skill in the art will appreciate that the hydration spin belt 100 can also include a securing mechanism 108, such as a clip. The securing mechanism 108 secures the one or more attachments 106 to the outer belt 104. The securing mechanism 108 can be "released" by the user to allow movement of the one or more attachments 106 relative to the outer belt 104. I.e., when the securing mechanism 108 is released and the one or more attachments 106 are free to rotate it allows the user to access the attachments 108 or adjust the placement of the attachments 106 relative to the user's body for comfort.

[0025] The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.
