A dispenser for liquid refreshment is removably carried in a pocket attached to an armband. The armband is adapted to be worn on an upper arm of a person engaged in a continuous physical activity such as running. The dispenser, a flask of oval cross section has an upper closure and filler cap including a squirting spout. While being engaged in the activity such as running, the wearer of the armband and pocket may remove the flask from the pocket and use all or a portion of the liquid by squirting the liquid into an opened mouth. The pocket includes a shorter, rectangular outer wall and a longer rectangular inner wall which is disposed adjacent and is attached to the armband in a central portion of its adjacent major surface. The outward facing surface of the inner wall serves as a guide surface to reinsert the flask into the pocket. The inner wall is of a length substantially equal to the length of the flask. Thus, when the flask is inserted into the pocket, the inner wall is a protective interface between the runner\s arm and the flask. The oval cross-sectional shape of the flask shapes the edges of the pocket to cause such edges to become spaced from the arm of the person wearing the armband. The spacing is sufficient to prevent abrasive contact as a result of relative movement between the edges of the pocket and the arm of the wearer.

An assemblage forming a liquid refreshment carrier, which comprises: at least one flask having a substantially cylindrical body of elliptical cross section between a top and a straight, lower edge of the flask, an opening including a closure at the top of the flask, the cylindrical body terminating in a tapered base of intersecting sides forming said straight, lower edge of the flask; means for retaining said at least one flask, said means comprising inner and outer walls of flexible material, said inner and outer walls being attached to each other along a base and longitudinal, parallel edges, said means having at least one opening adjacent an upper edge of such outer wall, such inner and outer walls capable of being shaped to conform to the cylindrical body of elliptical cross section of the flask by insertion of said flask therebetween; means, formed of a resiliently stretchable length of material having a length capable of being stretched circumferentially about a person\s arm, for adhering resiliently stretched to such person\s arm; and means for attaching the inner wall of the retaining means to the adhering means, said attaching means joining a central area of said retaining means, spaced from said longitudinal, parallel edges thereof, whereby such insertion of said flask between the inner and outer walls shapes the retaining means to space the base and longitudinally edges of the inner and outer walls from such person\s arm when the adhering means is adhered resiliently stretched about such person\s arm.
