Abstract:
1. An apparatus, comprising: a plurality of elongated strands meeting at joinder regions, the elongated strands and joinder regions forming a surface of a mesh and defining a plurality of openings in the mesh, each opening having an entire perimeter surface that is smoothly looping and that forms a closed loop on the surface of the mesh, the mesh enclosing a void, the elongated strands being resiliently deformable such that a user's fingers may extend through the openings and grasp the smoothly looping perimeter surfaces of at least a first and second pair of the openings of the mesh in a gripping motion to flex the mesh and secure a grip on the mesh; and a container configured to store a liquid, the container being releasably coupled to one of the openings in the mesh, such that a portion of the container extends into the void enclosed by the mesh; and a manducable protrusion coupled to a top of the container and extending a distance away from an exterior surface of the mesh, the container or manducable protrusion including a surface in face sharing contact with the smoothly looping perimeter surface of the one of the openings; wherein the first pair of openings of the plurality of openings and an associated joinder region joining the first pair of openings are formed such that the smoothly looping inner perimeter surfaces of each of the first pair of openings and the associated joinder region are positioned on one side of the container and the second pair of openings of the plurality of openings and an associated joinder region joining the second pair of openings are formed such that the smoothly looping inner perimeter surfaces of each of the second pair of openings and the associated joinder region are positioned on an opposite side of the container.
