Patent Images
1. A liquid delivery system comprising:
- a portable pressurizable container adapted to contain a portable liquid;
said container adapted to be carried on a bicycle;
a potable liquid transfer conduit sealingly connected to said pressurizable container;
a bite valve sealingly connected to said potable liquid transfer conduit; and
a flow regulating valve sealingly connected to said potable liquid transfer conduit, said flow regulating valve automatically maintaining a predetermined and relatively constant positive rate of potable liquid flow from said pressurized container.

Abstract
A drinking system having a pneumatically charged container, a flow regulating manifold cap, a pull-valve, and nozzle. The flow regulating cap allows the pressurized container to deliver liquid with essentially constant flow as the air expands to fill the volume of the container. The nozzle may be mounted on the handlebars of a bicycle, and when the pull-valve is actuated, directs a liquid stream toward the cyclists mouth when on rough terrain, the nozzle may extend from its normal position and be placed between the cyclists teeth or directed at the cyclists mouth using a helmet mounted extension arm.
