As shown in FIG. 2, the lid 106 is removed from the spout adapter 104 to expose the removably coupled cap 108 to the top surface 110 of the spout adapter 104. When the cap 108 is removed from the spout adapter 104, as shown in FIG. 3, the cap 108 exposes the spout opening 112 that extends through the spout adapter 104 into the cavity of the canister 102. Accordingly, the cap 108 may be configured to be removably coupled to the spout opening 112 and hermetically sealed (ie, resealable). In one example, correspondingly, the spout opening 112 provides a narrower opening than the canister 102 opening 158 (see, eg, FIG. 9), and thus when removed from the spout adapter 104, the canister 102. Provides a more controlled / more precise manual pouring of the contents of the container into other containers such as the lid 106. In one example, the spout opening 112 of the spout adapter 104 is off center of the top surface 110 of the spout adapter 104. The spout opening 112 may be located at any point on the surface 110 and may be off-center or centered as shown.

Accordingly, the magnetic top surface 111 can include an outer surface material that is either ferromagnetic or is itself magnetized. In another embodiment, the magnetic top surface 111 can include one or more polymers overmolded onto the magnetic structure (ie, the magnetized metal / alloy is such as when the cap 108 is molded. Can be placed inside).

As used herein, the term "magnetic" can refer to a material that can be magnetized temporarily or "permanently" (eg, a ferromagnetic material). Thus, the term "magnetism" can refer to a material (ie, a surface, or an object, etc.) that can be magnetically attracted to a magnet (ie, a temporary or permanent magnet) that has a magnetic field associated with it. In one example, the magnetic material may be magnetized (ie, may form a permanent magnet). Further, with the disclosures described herein, various examples of magnetic materials such as nickel, iron, and cobalt, and alloys thereof are available.

As shown in FIG. 3, the cap 108 can be magnetically coupled to the coalescing surface 114 of the spout adapter 104 when removed from the spout opening 112. Similar to the top surface 111 of the cap 108, the coalesced surface 114 of the spout adapter 104 can contain a magnetic material. In one example, the coalesced surface 114 may include one or more polymers that are overmolded onto a magnetic element (eg, in particular, a metal plate, foil, or wire). In another example, the coalesced surface 114 may include a metallic and magnetic outer surface.

In one example, the canister 102 and lid 106 may be composed primarily of alloys such as steel or titanium alloys, and the spout adapter 104 and cap 108 may be composed primarily of one or more polymers. (In particular, excluding the magnetic upper surface 111 and the coalesced surface 114). However, it is further considered that each element described herein can be composed of one or more metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, or fiber reinforced materials, among other things. In particular, the container 100 can utilize one or more of steel, titanium, iron, nickel, cobalt, impact resistant polystyrene, ABS resin, nylon, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and / or polypropylene, among others. ..

FIG. 4 shows an exploded isometric view of the container 100 according to one or more aspects described herein. In particular, FIG. 4 shows the spout adapter 104 removed from the canister 102 and the lid 106 and cap 108 removed from the spout adapter 104. In one embodiment, the spout adapter 104 may include a bottom threaded surface 116 configured to be removablely coupled to a threaded inner surface 118 of the canister 102. Further, the spout adapter 104 may include an upper threaded surface 120 configured to be removablely coupled to the threaded inner surface of the lid 106. Further, the threaded spout outer surface 122 is configured to be removably coupled to the threaded inner surface 124 of the cap 108.

Thus, any of the bottom threaded surface 116, the threaded inner surface 118, the top threaded surface 120, the threaded inner surface of the lid 106, the threaded spout outer surface 122, and / or the threaded inner surface 124 of these disclosures. By rotating the fitting elements with each other at any number of revolutions without departing from the range, the corresponding elements can be fully engaged with each other. For example, the two mating threaded elements in the elements 116, 118, 120, 122, and / or 124 are about 1/4 of one rotation, about 1/3 of one rotation, and about 1/2 of one rotation. It can be fully engaged in about 1 rotation, about 2 rotations, about 3 rotations, at least 1 rotation, or at least 5 rotations, and other rotations.

A removable coupling between one or more canisters 102, a spout adapter 104, a lid 106 and a cap 108, such as fitting elements, lids, shackles or fasteners, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. It is further believed that additional or alternative coupling mechanisms may be included.

FIG. 5 shows a more detailed isometric view of the top of the spout adapter 104 according to one or more aspects described herein. The spout adapter 104 includes a bottom threaded surface 116 separated from a top threaded surface 120 by a grip ring 126. In one embodiment, the coalesced surface 114 is part of a coalesced structure 128 extending from the grip ring 126. In one embodiment, the grip ring 126 is configured to be gripped by the user for coupling and / or separating the spout adapter 104 from the canister 102 and / or the lid 106. Accordingly, in one example, the coalesced structure 128 is around the grip ring 126 as the user manually torques the spout adapter 104 to couple or separate it from the canister 102 and / or the lid 106. Prevents or reduces the possibility of the user's hands slipping. Without departing from the scope of these disclosures, it is further conceivable that the grip ring 126 may include a plurality of coalesced structures in addition to the single coalesced structure 128 shown in FIG. Accordingly, the grip ring 126 is formed to prevent or reduce the user's hand from slipping when rotating the spout adapter 104 with respect to the canister 102 and / or the lid 106. It may include adhesive or rubberized materials, or materials with a knurled surface texture.

In one example, as shown in FIG. 6, the spout opening 112 of the spout adapter 104 extends through the height of the spout adapter 104 (almost parallel to the 132 direction) and the bottom surface 134 of the spout adapter 104. Provides access to the spout channel 130 extending to. FIG. 7 schematically shows a cross-sectional isometric view of the spout adapter 104 according to one or more aspects described herein. As shown in FIG. 7, the spout flow path 130 may extend from the spout opening 112 to the bottom surface 134. In the illustrated embodiment, the spout channel 130 can have approximately the same caliber 136 throughout the length of the spout channel 130. However, it is believed that the spout channels may have different calibers and sizes through the length of the channel extending between the spout opening 112 and the bottom surface 134.

In one embodiment, the spout adapter 104 may include an internal cavity 138 extending around the spout flow path 130. The internal cavity 138 can be sealed in one or more manufacturing processes used to form the spout adapter 104. Accordingly, in one example, the internal cavity 138 may include a vacuum cavity to reduce heat transfer between the bottom surface 134 and the top surface 111, or vice versa. Additional or alternative, it is believed that the internal cavity 138 may be partially or wholly filled with one or more foamy material or polymer material in order to increase heat resistance. In yet another example, one or more surfaces of the internal cavity 138 may be coated with a reflective material to reduce heat transfer due to magnetic force.

In one example, the magnet or magnetic material may be placed behind the coalesced surface 114. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the magnet or magnetic material may be placed within the cavity 140 within the coalesced structure 128. It is believed that any coupling mechanism, such as glue, fasteners, fittings, screws, or rivets, could be used to place the magnet or magnetic material within the cavity 140. In another example, the magnet or magnetic material may be overmolded within the coalesced structure 128, whereby the cavity 140 will represent the amount occupied by the overmolded magnet or magnetic material.

In one example, the spout adapter 104 can be integrated. In another example, the spout adapter 104 is formed from two or more elements that are joined by another molding process, welding, gluing, fasteners, or one or more fasteners (rivets, knobs, screws, etc.). obtain. In one embodiment, the spout adapter 104 may be composed of one or more polymers. However, the spout adapter 104 may be additionally or alternatively constructed from one or more metals, alloys, ceramics, fiber reinforced materials, and the like. The spout adapter 104 may be configured by one or more injection molding processes. In one specific example, a multi-shot injection molding process (eg, among others, 2 shots, 3 shots, etc.) can be used to configure the spout adapter 104. It is further believed that additional or alternative processes, including rotomoulding, blow molding, compression molding, gas assist molding, and / or casting, could be used to construct the spout adapter 104.

FIG. 8 shows an isometric view of the cap 108 according to one or more aspects described herein. As mentioned above, the cap 108 may include a magnetic top surface 111. Accordingly, the cap 108 may be composed of one or more polymer materials, the magnetic top surface 111 comprising one or more polymers overmolded onto the magnetic material.

In the illustrated example, the cap 108 is substantially cylindrical. However, it is conceivable that additional or alternative shapes may be utilized without departing from the scope of these disclosures. For example, the cap 108 can be, among other things, a cubic shape. The cap 108 prevents the user's finger from slipping when applying manual torque to the cap 108 to connect or separate the cap 108 from the threaded outer spout outer surface 122 of the spout opening 112, or it. Includes grip recesses 142a-c formed to alleviate. It is believed that any number of grip recesses 142a-c may be used around the circumference of the cylindrical cap 108 without departing from the scope of these disclosures. In addition, the cap 108 may include additional or alternative constructive elements formed to enhance the user's grip on the cap 108. For example, the outer cylindrical surface 144 of the cap 108 may include a sticky / rubberized material formed to enhance the user's grip. In addition, the outer cylindrical surface 144 may include a series of corrugations or knurling.

In FIG. 9, the cap 108 is coupled to the threaded outer spout outer surface 122, the lid 106 is coupled to the top threaded surface 120 of the spout adapter 104, and the bottom threaded surface 116 of the spout adapter 104 is the thread of the canister 102. A cross-sectional view of the heat insulating container 100 in a state of being coupled to the inner surface 118 is schematically shown.

The canister 102 may include a first inner wall 146 and a second outer wall 148. The sealed vacuum cavity 150 can be formed between the first inner wall 146 and the second outer wall 148. This configuration is utilized to reduce heat conduction through the first inner wall 146 and the second outer wall 148 between the water tank 152 formed to accommodate a large amount of liquid and the external environment 154. obtain. As described above, the sealed vacuum cavity 150 between the first inner wall 146 and the second outer wall 148 can be referred to as a heat insulating double wall structure. Further, the first inner wall 146 may have a first end 156 that determines an opening 158 extending into an internal reservoir 152 for accommodating a large amount of liquid. The second outer wall 148 may form the outer shell of the canister 102. The second outer wall 148 may be formed from a side wall 160 and a bottom 162 forming a second end 164 to support the canister 102 on the surface. The seam 163 may be formed between the second outer wall 148 and the bottom 162. In one example, the bottom 162 can be press fit onto the second outer wall 148. Further, the bottom 162 can be welded to the second outer wall 148. No seams are found on the canister 102, as the weld can also be polished.

The bottom 162 may include dimples 166 used in the vacuum forming process. As shown in FIG. 9, the bottom 162 covers the dimples 166 so that the dimples 166 are invisible to the user. The dimples 166 may be generally dome-shaped. However, other suitable shapes for accommodating resin materials such as cones or trapezoids are conceivable during the manufacturing process. The dimple 166 may include a circular base 168 that converges on an opening 170 that extends to a second outer wall 148. As described below, the opening 170 can be sealed with a resin (not shown). While a vacuum state is formed between the first inner wall 146 and the second outer wall 148, the resin seals the opening 170 and creates a sealed vacuum cavity 150 that forms an insulating double wall structure. Provided between the inner wall 146 and the second outer wall 148.

As an alternative example, the dimple 166 is invisible to the user because the dimple 166 is covered by a correspondingly shaped disc (not shown). The circular base 168 may be covered by a disc that may be made of the same material as the second outer wall 148 and the first inner wall 146. For example, the first inner wall 146, the second outer wall 148, and the disc may be made of titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, or other material or alloy. However, other suitable materials and methods for covering dimples 166 are available, as described herein and incorporated herein as sufficient description in US Patent Application No. 62 / 237,419. It is considered.

The canister 102 may be composed of one or more metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, or fiber reinforced materials. In addition, the canister 102 can be configured using one or more hot or cold processing processes (eg, compression molding, casting, molding, drilling, polishing, forging, etc.). In one embodiment, the canister 102 may be configured using stainless steel. As a specific example, the canister 102 may be constructed substantially of 304 stainless steel or a titanium alloy. In addition, one or more cold processing processes used to form the geometry of the canister 102 can result in the canister 102 becoming magnetic (possibly attracted to a magnet).

In one example, the water tank 152 of the canister 102 may have an internal water volume of 532 ml (18fl.oz). In another example, the water tank 152 has an internal water volume in the range of 500 to 550 ml (16.9 to 18.6 fl. Oz) or 1000 ml to 1900 ml (33.8 fl. Oz to 64.2 fl. Oz). May be good. In yet another example, the water tank 152 is at least 100 ml (3.4 fl. Oz), at least 150 ml (5.1 fl. Oz), at least 200 ml (6.8 fl. Oz), and at least 400 ml (13.5 fl. Oz). , May have an internal water volume of at least 500 ml (16.9fl.oz), or at least 1000 ml (33.8fl.oz). The opening 158 of the canister 102 can have an opening diameter of 64.8 mm. In another embodiment, the opening 158 may have an opening diameter of between 60 mm or 60 mm to 70 mm. The water tank 152 is formed to accommodate a standard size 355 ml (12fl.oz) beverage (aluminum) can (a standard 355 ml beverage can having an outer diameter of about 66 mm and a height of about 122.7 mm). And may have a height of 155. The inner diameter 153 can be measured at least 66 mm, or between 50 mm and 80 mm. The height 155 can be measured at least 122.7 mm, or between 110 mm and 140 mm.

Additional or alternative methods of insulating the container 100 have also been considered. For example, the cavity 150 between the first inner wall 146 and the outer wall 148 can be filled with a variety of heat insulating materials that exhibit low thermal conductivity. Thus, in one example, the cavity 150 can be filled or partially filled with air to form an air pocket for insulation, or with a polymer material, or a large amount of material such as a polymer foam. .. In one specific example, the cavity 150 can be filled or partially filled with an insulating foam material such as polystyrene. However, without departing from the scope of these disclosures, additional or alternative insulation may be used to fill or partially fill the cavity 150.

Moreover, the thickness of the cavity 150 can also be embodied by any dimensional value without departing from the scope of these disclosures. Also, one or more inner surfaces of the first inner wall 146 or the second outer wall 148 of the container 100 are covered with a silver surface, a copper-plated surface, or a thin aluminum foil formed to reduce heat conduction due to heat dissipation. It can consist of a broken surface.

In one example, the lid 106 may be molded from one or more metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, fiber reinforced materials, and the like. In addition, the lid 106 can be molded using one or more injection molding or other manufacturing processes described herein. The lid 106 may be a solid structure or may include a double wall structure as well as a canister 102 having an inner wall 172, an outer wall 174 and a cavity 176 in between. Since the lid 106 can be insulated, the cavity 176 is considered to be a vacuum cavity made using the techniques described herein.

In one example, the canister 102 includes a shoulder area 182. As described above, the outer diameter 184 of the canister 102 may be larger than the outer diameter 186 of the spout adapter 104. Accordingly, the outer wall 148 of the canister 102 may taper between points 188 and 190 along the shoulder area 182. In one example, the shoulder region 182 can improve the thermal conductivity of the canister 102 (reduce thermal conductivity). In particular, the shoulder region 182 can form a heat insulating property with lower thermal conductivity (high heat resistance / heat insulating property) than the lid spout adapter 104 that seals the opening 158.

It is believed that the spout adapter 104 may include a lower gasket 178 formed to seal the opening 158 of the canister 102 when the spout adapter 104 is detachably coupled therein. Further, the spout adapter 180 may include an upper gasket formed to reseal the lid 106 against the spout adapter 104 upon coupling.

The intermediate spout adapter structure 1002 includes a top threaded section 1004 and a bottom threaded section 1006 that form the top threaded surface 120 and the bottom threaded surface 116, respectively, when the molding process for the spout adapter 104 is completed. In one embodiment, the intermediate spout adapter structure 1002 includes a complete top surface 110 and spout opening 112 having a threaded outer spout outer surface 122 and a spout flow path 130.

FIG. 10B shows a second intermediate spout adapter structure 1010 with a second injection molding shot. The second intermediate spout adapter structure 1010 includes a grip ring base structure 1112 extending around the circumference of the second intermediate spout adapter structure 1010 and forms the grip ring 126 as shown by reference in FIG. 10C. Form the underlying structural support surface for the overmolded third shot. Further, the second intermediate spout adapter structure 1010 includes a handle base structure 1114 that forms the underlying structural support surface for the overmolded third shot that forms the coalesced structure 128. .. Further, the handle base structure 1114 is configured in one embodiment to hold the magnetic plate 1118 fixed on the surface 1120 prior to overmolding to form the coalesced surface 114. Is included. In addition, the plate mounting bracket 1116 may include fitting elements configured to hold the magnetic plate 1118 in a tight fit prior to overmolding in the third injection molding shot. However, it is believed that the plate mounting bracket 1116 may utilize additional or alternative elements, such as an adhesive, or one or more clasps, to hold the magnetic plate 1118.

FIG. 10C shows a third intermediate spout adapter structure 1020 with a third injection molded shot of the polymer. In particular, as mentioned above, a third injection molded shot of the polymer is formed to overmold the grip ring base structure 1112 and handle base structure 1114 that form the grip ring 126 and the coalesced structure 128 at the coalesced surface 114. ..

In particular, FIG. 10D shows an opening 1022 into a cavity (eg, cavity 138 shown in FIG. 7) before forming the bottom surface 134 of the spout adapter 104. Accordingly, the foam 1024 is injected into the cavity to partially or completely fill the cavity, as shown in FIG. 10D, and once completed, enhances the heat resistance of the spout adapter 104. ..

FIG. 12 shows an exploded isometric view of the aperture adapter assembly 1100 in FIG. 11 according to one or more aspects described herein. In one example, assembly 1100 includes lid 1202. The lid 1202 may be similar to the lid 106. Further, the lid 1202 may be formed to be detachably coupled to the opening adapter 1204. In one example, the opening adapter 1204 may be a substantially cylindrical geometry with an outer top threaded surface 1220 formed to engage the threaded portion inside the lid 1202. .. Accordingly, the opening adapter 1204 may include an outer bottom threaded surface 1222 formed to engage the threaded inner surface of the canister, such as the surface 118 of the canister 102. The top gasket 1208 and the bottom gasket 1210 may be formed to seal the opening of the canister 102 when the outer bottom threaded surface 1222 is detachably coupled. Further, the top gasket 1208 and the bottom gasket 1210 may also include the geometry and / or material of any gasket without departing from the scope of these disclosures.

The grip ring 1206 may extend around the circumference of the opening adapter 1204. The grip ring 1206 may have a spacing between the outer top threaded surface 1220 and the outer bottom threaded surface 1222. In one example, the grip ring 1206 may be integrally molded with the cylindrical structure of the opening adapter 1204. In another example, the grip ring 1206 may be separately molded and tightly coupled to the cylindrical structure of the opening adapter 1204. For example, the grip ring 1206 may, as another element, be injection molded and then coupled to the opening adapter 1204 by gluing, welding, and / or fasteners and the like. In another example, the grip ring 1206 may be overmolded onto the opening adapter 1204.

The opening adapter 1204 may include an upper opening 1224 formed to accommodate the plug structure 1212. The plug structure 1212 may include a bottom portion 1216 having a substantially cylindrical side wall and a top portion 1214 tightly coupled thereto. In one example, the bottom portion 1216 may be rotationally welded to the top portion 1214 and the like. FIG. 13 shows an isometric view of the plug structure 1212 according to one or more aspects described herein. In one embodiment, the substantially cylindrical side wall of the bottom portion 1216 of the plug structure 1212 may include a threaded outer surface 1302 detachably coupled to the internal threaded surface 1218 of the opening adapter 1204. In one example, the plug structure 1212 is such that when the threaded outer surface 1302 engages with the internal threaded surface 1218 of the opening adapter 1204, the plug structure 1212 is resealed to the upper opening 1224 of the opening adapter 1204 so that it can be resealed. Can be formed. Further, the upper portion 1214 may be formed to extend radially beyond the side wall of the bottom portion 1216 to form the sealing surface 1304. The sealing surface 1304 may be formed at the upper opening 1224 adjacent to the upper lip of the opening adapter 1204. Accordingly, the sealing surface 1304 includes a gasket, which can have any geometric shape (eg, c-shaped gasket, etc.) without departing from the scope of these disclosures. It can also be composed of any material.

The plug structure 1212 may include a handle 1306 tightly coupled to the upper portion 1214. The handle 1306 extends over the diameter of the upper portion 1214 and may be formed for manual operation of the threaded coupling between the plug structure 1212 and the opening adapter 1204, and for manual attachment / detachment of the plug structure 1212. The plug structure 1212 may include one or more external flow paths 1308. In one specific example, the plug structure 1212 may include three equally spaced external flow paths 1308 around the outer sidewall of the bottom portion 1216 of the plug structure 1212. However, it is believed that any number of external channels 1308 can also be utilized without departing from the scope of these disclosures. The external flow path 1308 may be formed so as to extend between the upper end of the flow path 1310 and the lower end of the flow path 1312. In one embodiment, the depth of the external flow path 1308 (eg, the radial depth with respect to the substantial cylindrical geometry of the outer sidewall of the bottom portion 1216 of the plug structure 1212) is external. It can be uniform along the longitudinal length of the flow path 1308 (eg, along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical geometry of the bottom portion 1216 of the plug structure 1212). In another embodiment, the depth of the external flow path 1308 does not have to be uniform, from the first depth to the second depth, which is shallower than the first depth, in the flow path moving region 1314. It may change along. In one example, the external flow path 1308 is formed to provide partial or complete gas pressure release / equilibration between the external environment and the inner chamber of the canister 102 to which the opening adapter 1204 is detachably coupled. Can be done.

In one example, the plug structure 1212 comprises an internal cavity partially or completely filled with insulation such as foam (eg, Styrofoam) and is formed to reduce heat conduction through it. Can include a vacuum cavity that has been created.

The plug structure 1212 may additionally include a retention tab 1316. As illustrated, the plug structure 1212 may include three retaining tabs 1316 evenly spaced around the circumference of the base 1318 of the plug structure 1212. However, it is believed that any number of retention tabs 1316 may be available without departing from the scope of these disclosures. In one example, the retaining tab 1360 is formed so that the bends formed to expand and contract between the compressed and extended shapes (eg, one or more longitudinal surfaces 1322 and / or caliber surfaces 1320 are deformed). Can be included). As shown in FIG. 13, the holding tab 1316 has an elongated shape.

In one example, the retaining tab 1316 is formed such that when the threaded outer surface 1302 is separated from the internal threaded surface 1218 of the opening adapter 1204, the plug structure 1212 limits extension in the direction in which it is removed from the opening adapter 1204. Can be done. In particular, in the elongated shape, the retaining tab 1316 may be formed adjacent to the retaining surface of the opening adapter 1204. FIG. 14 shows a bottom view of the opening adapter 1204 according to one or more aspects described herein. In one embodiment, in the extended form, the retaining tab 1316 may be formed adjacent to the retaining raised surface 1402 of the opening adapter 1204.

FIG. 15A schematically shows a cross-sectional view of the plug structure 1212 when fully engaged with the opening adapter 1204. FIG. 15A schematically shows a state in which the threaded outer surface 1302 of the plug structure 1212 is coupled to the internal threaded surface 1218 of the opening adapter 1204. Further, in this fully engaged state, the retaining tab 1316 may be spaced away from the retaining raised surface 1402 of the opening adapter 1204. FIG. 15B schematically shows another cross-sectional view of the plug structure 1212 in a configuration that is not partially coupled to the opening adapter 1204. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 15B, the threaded outer surface 1302 of the plug structure 1212 may be separated from the internal threaded surface 1218 of the opening adapter 1204. However, thanks to the retaining tab 1316 adjacent to the retaining raised surface 1402 of the opening adapter 1204, the plug structure 1212 can be prevented from being completely separated from the opening adapter 1204. Conveniently, this partial coupling prevents the top opening 1224 from being sealed, and in one example, the contents of the canister 102 are there without the plug structure 1212 being completely removed from the opening adapter 1204. Can be poured from. Even more conveniently, this feature allows one-handed operation of the threaded coupling between the opening adapter 1204 and the plug structure 1212, eliminating the need to completely remove the plug structure 1212 and allowing the user to no longer. It may also be possible to pour the contents of the canister 102 without having to hold it with one hand or place it on an external surface.

To completely remove the plug structure 1212 from the opening adapter 1204, the retaining tab 1316 facilitates the transition from the elongated shape shown in FIG. 15B to a compressed shape in which the holding tab 1316 can move past the holding raised surface 1402. Manual separation force can be used. In one example, this manual separation force may be applied in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical structure of the bottom portion 1216. It is believed that any separating force may be utilized based on the specific geometry and material of the retention tab 1316, etc., without departing from the scope of these disclosures. Additional or alternative, without departing from the scope of these disclosures, the retaining tab 1360 is adjacent to one or more additional or alternative surfaces of the opening adapter 1204, such as the base surface 1502, in the extended form. Can be formed like this.

For example, without departing from the scope of these disclosures, one or more stated elements may be made from one or more polymers, metals, alloys, composites, ceramics or wood. In particular, the opening adapter assembly 1100 utilizes, among other things, one or more of steel, titanium, iron, nickel, cobalt, impact resistant polystyrene, ABS resin, nylon, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and / or polypropylene. be able to. It is further believed that any manufacturing method may be utilized to assemble the described elements of the opening adapter assembly 1100 without departing from the scope of these disclosures. In certain examples, injection molding, blow molding, casting, rotary molding, compression molding, gas assist molding, thermoforming, or foam molding, welding (eg, rotary welding), bonding, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. , Or fasteners (eg, rivets, fasteners, screws, etc.) may be utilized. Further, it is believed that the illustrated and described elements of the aperture adapter assembly 1100 can be made with arbitrary dimensional values without departing from the scope of these disclosures. Thus, for example, the threaded shapes described above (eg, threaded outer surface 1302, internal threaded surface 1218, external top threaded surface 1220, and / or external bottom threaded surface 1222) are disclosed herein. It can be created in any threaded geometry without departing from the range.

In one embodiment, the canister 1606 can be similar to the canister 102. Thus, the canister 1606 may include elements similar to the canister 102 and may be constructed using similar materials and / or processes. The canister 1606 may include an insulated double wall structure. The canister 1606 may further include a tapered, substantially cylindrical geometry. However, as discussed in connection with the canister 102, the canister 1606 may have a regular cylindrical geometry or an alternative geometry without departing from the scope of these disclosures. .. As shown in FIG. 16, the upper cap 1604 is detachably coupled to the lower cap structure 1602. Further, the upper cap 1604 can be similar to the cap 108, as described above in the present disclosure.

Therefore, the coalesced structure 1610 may be similar to the coalesced structure 128, as described above for the spout adapter 104. In one example, the combination of the lower cap structure 1602 and the upper cap 1604 may otherwise be referred to as the spout adapter 1601, where the spout adapter 1601 has an opening smaller than the opening of the canister 1606. It is configured to provide a spout 1612 provided.

The internal passage 1650 of the extending spout adapter 1601 is schematically shown. In the illustrated embodiment, the internal passage 1650 substantially matches the external geometry of the lower cap structure 1602.

FIG. 24 also shows the magnetic elements 1660 and 1662, which are encapsulated in the combined structure 1610 of the upper cap 1604 and the lower cap structure 1602, respectively. The magnetic elements 1660 and 1662 can be permanent magnets or have a ferromagnetic structure that is magnetically attracted to the magnet. It is conceivable that the magnetic elements 1660 and 1662 can be mounted in any geometric shape. In one particular example, the magnetic element 1660 is a permanent magnet and the magnetic element 1662 is a magnetic plate. In another embodiment, the magnetic element 1662 is a permanent magnet and the magnetic element 1660 is a magnetic plate.
