ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates generally to apparatuses for the transport of liquids in a discrete manner and methods therefor and, more specifically, to an apparatus and method for discretely transporting on a person's body a liquid, and discharging that liquid in a discrete manner.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
For a variety of reasons, persons may wish to carry a liquid in a discrete manner on their person. For example, where lawful to do so, a person required to provide a urine sample may wish to provide a sample of known content, and may wish to carry and discharge that sample in a manner not readily apparent to those observing the provision of the sample. URINE LUCK© is the federal trademark for a clean urine sample that may be purchased for use in a urine test. However, this product may not be readily transported to the site of such a test, and cannot be discretely provided where a sample must be given in the presence of a third party.
In addition, a man wishing to play a practical joke may wish to carry a non-yellow liquid on his person, and then to discharge that liquid as though it were a waste product. Still further, for military, espionage, or law enforcement purposes, it may be necessary to transport and discharge a liquid in a manner not readily discernible to outsiders.
It is the purpose of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method permitting such discrete transportation and discharge of liquids, such as urine.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for discretely transporting a liquid on the body of a person.
A further object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for discretely transporting a liquid on the body of a person and discharging that liquid in a discrete manner.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for transporting a liquid on the body of a person and discharging the liquid is disclosed.

In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a method for transporting a liquid on the body of a person and discharging the liquid is disclosed. The method comprises: providing a container adapted to contain a liquid; placing the liquid in the container; wherein the container is dimensioned so that an upper portion thereof can be inserted between a person's buttocks; providing a hose coupled at a first end thereof to the container; providing one of a cap, valve, and plug inserted into a second end of the hose; wherein the hose is of sufficient length to pass between the person's legs; inserting said upper portion of said container between the person's buttocks; positioning the hose between the person's legs.
