Publication number: 20140124393Abstract: A supplement dispensing closure couplable to an outlet of a container, such as a water container. When the closure is coupled to the container, liquid exiting the container through the outlet flows through a supplement retention area that retains a dissolvable supplement body inside the closure as the liquid flows therethrough and dissolves the dissolvable supplement body. A user may select one or more dissolvable supplement bodies and insert them inside the supplement retention area for dissolution in the liquid as it flows through the supplement retention area. The closure may include a selectively openable and closable cap portion. Optionally, the closure includes a filter configured to filter one or more components from the liquid before or after it flows through the supplement retention area.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2013Publication date: May 8, 2014Inventors: Ricky L.

Publication number: 20130139893Abstract: A hydration system configured to receive liquid from a wearable fluid storage and delivery device and selectively add supplements thereto. The system includes a removable cap, an interior housing, and an outside housing. The interior housing has a supplement chamber for housing a dissolvable supplement body with an open end portion closable by the cap. The interior housing also has a bypass channel separated from the supplement chamber. The outside housing has an interior channel configured to slidably receive the interior housing and allow it to slide between a supplement adding position and a bypass position relative to the outside housing. In the supplement adding position, liquid received from the wearable device flows into the supplement chamber whereat at least a portion of the dissolvable supplement body dissolves into the liquid. In the bypass position, liquid received from the wearable device flows into the bypass channel bypassing the supplement chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2013Publication date: June 6, 2013Inventors: Ricky L.
