Patent attributes
A compression sleeve and flexible bottle combine to serve as a fluid carrier such as for water or sports beverages. The flexible bottle has an interior volume for holding the fluid, the flexible bottle being readily collapsible to conform the interior volume of the flexible bottle to a volume of the fluid held within the flexible bottle, with a compression sleeve surrounding the flexible bottle. A pull-cord is attached to the compression sleeve and is moveable from a first position in which the pull-cord is retracted to a second position in which the pull-cord is extended, in which moving the pull-cord from the first position to the second position causes a contraction of the compression sleeve and a corresponding contraction of the flexible bottle.
