Patent ID: 7971549

Claim:
A hydration system for kayak integration, comprising: a deck port configured to allow fluid passage through a deck of a kayak; a reservoir having an internal sealable compartment configured to contain a liquid under pressure, the reservoir having a first port configured to receive pressurizing gasses into the compartment, a second port, and a third port through which the liquid can be supplied into the compartment; a transfer tube having a first end configured to be coupled to the second port of the reservoir and a second end configured to be coupled to the deck port at a position within an interior space of the kayak; a pressurizer configured to be coupled to the first port of the reservoir, the pressurizer operable to supply the pressurizing gasses; and a drinking tube having a first end with a valve and a second end, the second end configured to be coupled to the deck port at a position exterior to the kayak. wherein, when the compartment is sealed and pressurized, activation of the valve unseals the compartment and allows the liquid to be expelled from the compartment via the second port, the transfer tube, and the drinking tube as a result of the pressurization of the compartment by the pressurizing gasses, wherein the reservoir is in a seat positioned in the interior space of the kayak, the seat having an interior space that defines the compartment.
