For example, the bottom portion 100 and the side portion 200 may form the storage space Q. FIG.

For example, the bottom portion 100 may define a limit of a lower region of the storage space Q, and the side portion 200 may define a limit of a side region and an upper region of the storage space Q .

For example, the side portion 200 may be connected to the bottom portion 100 in the lower end region, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The side portion 200 and the bottom portion 100 may be integrally formed.

The cover portion 300 may be at least partially spaced from the side portion 200 and connected to the side portion 200 and / or the bottom portion 100.

As a result, a spacing space S may be formed at least partially between the side portion 200 and the cover portion 300.

For example, the spacing space S may be formed by the side portion 200 and the cover portion 300.

For example, the lower end region of the cover portion 300 may be connected to the side portion 200 and / or the bottom portion 100, and the upper end region of the cover portion 300 may be connected to the side portion 200 have.

The spacing space S may have a thermal insulation effect of the beverage.
