Abstract:
A fluid container such as a water bottle includes a vessel and lid. The lid includes a carabiner support in the form of a pathway, such as a hole. At least a portion of the pathway is surrounded by a resilient material. A carabiner extending along the pathway has a friction fit against the resilient material, sufficient to hold the carabiner in different static positions, resisting forces of gravity acting on the carabiner. The lid can include different configurations with secondary openings in some embodiments. The carabiner support can be located in different locations upon the lid. The lid can also include half of a magnetic coupling pair with a second half of the magnetic coupling pair located upon the vessel, so that the lid can be attached to the vessel when not covering an opening of the vessel.
