Abstract: A collar (also referred to as a caddy) adapted to be attachable to a bottle or related container for providing safe, hands-free access to a fluid bottle or related container which has a relatively wide mouth and a screw-on top or lid. Such caddy can be attached with a strap to hang over a shoulder, bicycle, or car seat to prevent spilling any liquid from the bottle. The collar is useful to permit the bottle to be joined to a carrying strap to enhance the utility of the bottle during athletic activities or during leisure time pursuits. The collar is preferably fabricated of a plastic material such as polypropylene, polyethylene or other durable material. However, the collar has "break-away" ends so that the strap is removable in ordinary circumstances and the collar will break in response to forces generated in unusual circumstances.
