Abstract: Described is a colored film formed of a transparent film and at least one colored adhesive layer arranged on one side of the transparent film. The adhesive layer has been colored by a colorant composed of a pigment and a dispersant. The dispersant comprises a (meth)acrylate ester polymer formed, as essential monomer components, of an aromatic vinyl monomer, a primary to tertiary amino-containing (meth)acrylate ester monomer and a (meth)acrylate ester monomer containing an ammonium group quaternized with an aromatic compound.

Abstract: A personal portable water purifying and drinking device. The device includes a conduit having a chemical purification stage positioned at one end of the conduit, and a filtration stage positioned at the opposite end of the conduit. The chemical purification stage includes a chemical purifying agent and a residence chamber to neutralize bacteria and viruses. The filtration stage includes a filter and a cleaning medium, the filter having a diameter larger than the diameter of the conduit, and designed to remove exceedingly small microorganisms, such as potentially harmful parasites 1-2 .mu.m in size, from the water to be filtered. A mouthpiece is mounted after the filtration stage of the conduit to draw fluid through the device and into the user's mouth.
