  • Patent number: 5957348
    Abstract: A drinking tube support for a beverage dispenser includes a bendable wire formed into a loop at a lower portion and a spiral at an upper portion. The beverage dispenser includes a beverage container secured on the back of a user by shoulder straps, and a drinking tube extending from the container. The drinking tube is secured to one of the shoulder straps by a clip. The drinking tube support is attached to the beverage dispenser by positioning the loop under and around the clip. The free end of the drinking tube is inserted through the spiral. An intermediate portion of the drinking tube support is long enough to enable the wire to be adjusted to position the free end of the drinking tube near the mouth of the user, who can conveniently drink by simply turning the head slightly, without having to pick up the tube. In a second embodiment, the drinking tube support includes a wire with a lower end attached to a base member, and an upper end formed into a spiral.
