  • the present invention further provides a plastic deformation tube between the hose and the mouthpiece, which may be bent freely and fix the mouthpiece at a position after bending. Therefore, user may bend the plastic deformation tube to have the mouthpiece at a suitable position for drinking without having to hold the mouthpiece by hand.
  • Another character of the present invention is the water inlet of the present invention fits to a common mineral water bottle, such that user only needs to engage the mineral water bottle with the water inlet, and water in the water bottle will flow to the soft bag.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a front view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is sectional view along 4 - 4 line of FIG. 3 , showing the switch on;
  • FIG. 5 is similar to FIG. 4 , showing the switch off
  • FIG. 6 is an exploded view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a sketch diagram, showing the present invention in operation
  • FIG. 8 is a right view of FIG. 7 , showing the aspect of the opening
  • FIG. 9 is a sectional view of along 9 - 9 line of FIG. 7 ;
  • FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, showing a lock device securing the hose.
  • a water bag of the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes:
  • a soft bag 10 has an intake 11 to inject water.
  • a lid 12 covers the intake 11 to close or open the intake 11 .
  • a hose 15 has an end connected to the bag 10 .
  • the bag 10 has three rings 13 on a side for the hose 15 passing through.
  • a mouthpiece 20 is connected to a free end of the hose 15 .
  • a plastic deformation tube 40 has opposite ends connected to the hose 15 and the mouthpiece 20 , which may be bent and fixed at that shape to adjust a position of the mouthpiece 20 .
  • the plastic deformation tube 40 includes a main tube 41 , a sub-tube 42 attached on a circumference of the main tube 41 , and a metal bar 43 in the sub-tube 42 .
  • the metal bar 43 may be bent and fixed at that shape.
  • a three-way valve 30 is mounted between the plastic deformation tube 40 and the hose 15 .
  • the three-way valve 30 has a first end connected to the hose 15 , a second end connected to the plastic deformation tube 40 and a third end forming a water inlet 31 .
  • a threaded section 32 is provided on an interior wall of the water inlet 31 of the connector three-way 30 .
  • the water inlet 31 may be engaged with a common mineral water bottle, as shown in FIG. 7 .
  • a cap 35 has a threaded section 36 to be screwed to a threaded section 32 of the water inlet 31 .
  • the cap 35 is provided with a strip 37 and a ring 38 on an end of the strip 37 .
  • the ring 38 is fitted to an annular slot 33 on the three-way valve 30 adjacent to the water inlet 31 , such that the cover will not loose when the cap 35 is opened.
  • a leakage-proof ring 34 is provided in the cap 35 to press the three-way valve 30 when the cap 35 is screwed onto the three-way valve 30 for leakage-proof.
  • cap 35 When water in the bag 10 is out, user may open the cap 35 and screw an opening 91 of a common water bottle 90 into the water inlet 31 , as shown in FIG. 7 , to inject water into the bag 10 through the hose 15 . After filling, user only needs to close the cap 35 that is a very convenient operation.
  • the water bag of the present invention is further provided with a switch 50 between the plastic deformation tube 40 .
  • the switch 50 includes two members 51 , 55 , in which the first member 51 is connected to the plastic deformation tube 40 and the second member 55 is connected to the mouthpiece 20 .
  • the members 51 , 55 are connected together and may be rotated relative to each other.
  • the second member 55 as a tunnel 56
  • the first member 51 has a plug 52 .
  • the members 51 , 55 When the members 51 , 55 are turned, the first member 51 may be moved away from the second member 55 , as shown in FIG. 4 , in which water may flow through the switch 50 .
  • the members 51 , 55 also may be turned in opposite direction to have the first member 51 moved toward the second member 55 , as shown in FIG. 5 , in which the plug 52 seals the tunnel 56 to cut off water.
  • the mouthpiece 20 includes a flexible body, in which a tunnel 21 is provided, with a closed end. On the closed end of the tunnel 21 , an elongated crack 22 is provided, as shown in FIG. 8 .
  • the crack 22 is closed in a normal condition, such that water will not flow out, and it is opened when the flexible body is compressed along an elongated direction of the crack 22 , such that water may flow out.
  • a cap 25 covers the closed end of the mouthpiece 20 with a strip 26 and a ring 27 .
  • the ring 27 is fitted to a slot 23 on a circumference of the mouthpiece 20 , such that the cap 25 will not loose.
  • the main purpose of the cap 25 is dustproof, except that the cap 25 compresses the mouthpiece 20 to seal the crack 22 for leakage-proof when the cap 25 is covered on the mouthpiece 20 .
  • the ring 27 may restrict the flexible body to ensure the crack 22 closed.
  • the tunnel 21 has a quadrilateral section 24 , such as rhombus, square or rectangle, adjacent to the closed end.
  • the crack 22 extends along a diagonal line of the quadrilateral section 24 .
  • the present embodiment shows the crack 22 extends along a short diagonal line of the rhomboidal section 24 that benefits the crack 22 to keep closed.
  • the present invention further provides a lock device 60 , which is an elongated plate with a C-shaped clip 61 on a center thereof and two connectors 62 on opposite sides of the clip 61 .
  • the clip 61 may hold the plastic deformation tube 40 or the hose 15 .
  • the connectors 62 may connect an O-ring 63 (or elastic band).
  • the O-ring 63 is wound on a back of a belt of a backpack and engages opposite ends thereof with the connectors 62 to mount the lock device 60 on the backpack, such that the plastic deformation tube 40 may be fixed on the lock device 60 .
  • User may bend the plastic deformation tube 40 to have the mouthpiece 20 at a suitable position for drinking.
