ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a liquid delivery system for a road vehicle or a water vessel. More particularly, this invention relates to such a system which is portable and which does not require the vehicle or vessel to be positioned near the source of the liquid.
When preparing a road vehicle sufficiently large to provide a living space or water vessel for a trip it is common practice to load the vehicle with water which can be utilized for cooking and cleaning during the trip. Oftentimes, the loaded water must be replenished so that the trip can be continued. It is usual practice, in the case of a water vessel to move the vessel from its mooring to a dock near a source of water and to fill containers on the vessel such as with a hose or the like. This process is undesirable when the vessel is not in its home port since the mooring is free for use by other vessels thereby depriving the vessel of its mooring. The process is also undesirable since the dock near the source of water oftentimes is crowded with vessels. This combination increases the chances of colliding with another vessel. In addition, the process is undesirably time consuming.
The problems of providing a road vehicle with water are similar to those encountered with water vessels. The road vehicle must be transported from its parking space (mooring) to the source of water and then back to the mooring with the attendant possible loss of the parking space to another road vehicle.
Accordingly, it would be desirable to provide a system for delivering liquid to a marine vessel or a road vehicle which does not require departure of the vessel or vehicle from its mooring or parking space. In addition, it would be desirable to provide such a system which is portable and which does not require installation of a permanent delivery system that requires space on the vessel or vehicle.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a portable liquid delivery system for a marine vessel or road vehicle. The liquid delivery system includes a flexible sealed bladder utilized to store a liquid to be delivered. The liquid delivery system also includes a portable pump positioned within a protective housing through which extend an electrical line and a switch. The housing also optionally is provided with an extension to which a line can be attached. The pump and housing can be hung from the vessel or road vehicle so that it can be easily positioned relative to the bladder containing the liquid. The bladder containing the liquid is delivered to the marine vessel by a small boat (dinghy) which accompanies the vessel or it is delivered to a road vehicle by a car or truck which normally accompanies the road vehicle.
