ABSTRACT:
A device and method for enabling a user to draw upon a liquid contained within the device includes a container, a holder for fastening the container to a principal apparatus, a conduit for carrying liquid, and a support for rigidly supporting the conduit in a variety of positions adjacent the user's mouth. The method includes providing the device, fastening the device to the principal apparatus in a manner that resists vibration, and positioning an outlet of the conduit adjacent to the user's mouth so as to enable the user to drink with only slightly moving his head or mouth. Therefore, the device and method may be employed to enhance independence of persons with disabilities, among other uses.
