Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009032060A1] In a quick fill fluid container system The present invention comprises a hollow container having a cavity or a reservoir for receiving fluids, preferable water but may be any other kind of fluids which refreshes the user or provides nourishment, reasonably necessary to refresh the user. The container has a generally streamlined shape which generally conforms on at least one side to the shape of a bicycle frame or other structure. The width of the container may be wider than the bicycle frame to permit the holding of more fluid in the cavity or reservoir of the container. The sides of the container and its mounting bracket are constructed to mate with one another in a streamlined fashion so that the resistance to air flow or drag is reduced. A hollow extraction tube is provided for access by the user and includes a mouth piece with a normally closed bite valve which is operated by the user to open the valve to extract water from the container. The container intake port is disposed at any selected fixed angle to the vertical axis of the container to provide a quick fill capability even while underway and the intake port may be rotatable attached to dispose the intake tube at an infinite number of angles.
