Abstract
A container has a main chamber defined by a stainless steel flask. The flask may be vacuum insulated. A bottom cap is attached to the bottom of the flask. A cup and a stopper can be attached to the top of the flask. Threads for attaching the cup and the stopper can be formed directly on the flask. One or more elastomeric bands can be positioned around the exterior of the flask to facilitate gripping of the container by the user. The elastomeric bands can be positioned between raised ridges formed on the flask to protect the bands from damage and wear and to keep the bands in position during use.
Description
- The present invention relates to the field of personal, portable beverage storage containers. More particularly, the present invention relates to the field of personal, portable beverage storage containers with a vacuum insulated main chamber formed by a stainless steel flask, and elastomeric bands formed on the exterior of the flask for enhanced gripping and other purposes.
- Many types of personal, portable beverage storage containers exist which allow persons to transport and store beverages. Some of these containers are vacuum insulated to help maintain the beverage at a desired temperature. While convenient in many respects, these existing containers are not as convenient and desirable for some users as the container described herein. The container of the present invention provides a unique combination of features and construction which enhances the containers usability, permits the container to be manufactured in a cost effective manner, and provides the user with a visually appealing, attractive, and durable product.

FIG. 1 is an isometric view of an exemplary embodiment of a container according to the invention with thestopper 40 andcup 30 attached to theflask 21. -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the container ofFIG. 1 , with thestopper 40 andcup 30 removed from theflask 21. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a sectional view of another exemplary container taken along a cutting plane parallel to the central axis of theflask 21. - The principles of the invention will be described through reference to a particular embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawing figures. The principles of the invention may be used to create other embodiments that will differ from the illustrated embodiment in order to suit particular needs, but that will nonetheless fall within the scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is intended to be defined in the appended claims.
-
FIGS. 1-3 illustrate acontainer 10 that exemplifies the principles of the invention. As seen inFIG. 3 , thecontainer 10 includes a vacuum insulated main chamber 20. The main chamber 20 is defined byflask 21. Flask 21 also defines an opening for dispensing the beverage from the main chamber 20. Theflask 21 may be vacuum insulated in a known manner, as illustrated, to help maintain the temperature of the beverage contained in the main chamber 20. InFIGS. 1-3 , the flask is formed by aninterior shell 22 and anexterior shell 23, with aninterior surface 22 a formed on theinterior shell 22, and anexterior surface 23 a formed on theexterior shell 23. A vacuum insulated space resides between theinterior shell 22 and theexterior shell 23. In other embodiments, theflask 21 need not be vacuum insulated. - The
flask 21 can be made of stainless steel for durability and easy maintenance, or other metallic materials such as aluminum or titanium. The flask could also be made from plastic materials.Exterior surface 23 a offlask 21 is gripped by the user when holding thecontainer 10. Thus theexterior surface 23 a offlask 21 is viewable and touchable by the user, and is especially appealing and durable when the flask is made from stainless steel. Stainless steel is also an economic material forflask 21 because it does not require any further surface treatments such as paint. However, surface treatments can be provided to theexterior surface 23 a offlask 21, if desirable. - The
flask 21 has abottom cap 24 attached to the bottom. Thebottom cap 24 has a smooth, flat bottom surface to facilitate thecontainer 10 being placed on a table top, and to facilitate handling of thecontainer 10. The bottom offlask 21 includes aport 25 used in the vacuum insulating of the flask. Theport 25 can often include rough edges or protruding surfaces. Theport 25 is advantageously covered by thebottom cap 24, along with other surfaces on the bottom offlask 21 which may have rough edges or protrusions. As illustrated inFIG. 3 ,bottom cap 24 can be injection molded from plastic and bonded to theflask 21 in a known manner. Or, as illustrated inFIGS. 1 and 2 , the bottom cap can be made of stainless steel and bonded to theflask 21 in a known manner. - The top of
flask 21 includes threads and other attachment means for attaching acup 30 and astopper 40. In the illustrated embodiment,flask 21 providesthreads 26 for thecup 30.Threads 26 are formed directly on theexterior shell 23 offlask 21. Cup 30 hasmutual threads 31 that mate withthreads 26 to holdcup 30 on thecontainer 10 for storage. Thecup 30 can advantageously be injection molded from plastic, and may or may not include a handle to facilitate grasping by the user. Thecup 30 can be made more visually appealing if it is made from a transparent plastic material, as shown inFIG. 1 . - Stopper 40 closes the opening in the main chamber 20 to retain the beverage, and includes means for opening the main chamber so that the beverage can be dispensed. Any suitable stopper can be used for these purposes.
Threads 28 can be formed directly on theexterior shell 23 offlask 21 for attachingstopper 40. Stopper 40 includesmating threads 41 that engage withthreads 28 to hold the stopper on theflask 21. Aseal 42 may also be used between theflask 21 and stopper 40 to ensure the retention of the beverage by preventing leaks. A “pop-up” valved stopper is shown employed inFIGS. 1 and 2 . A two-spouted pull-up stopper is shown employed inFIG. 3 . -
Elastomeric bands 40 can be included on theexterior surface 23 a offlask 21 to assist the user in gripping thecontainer 10.Elastomeric bands 40 can be made from any appropriate elastomeric material, such as PVC.Elastomeric bands 40 provide an area of increased friction where the user's fingers can form a stronger hold on thecontainer 10.Elastomeric bands 40 may also be visually appealing to the user, and the visual effect may also serve an additional functional purpose of assisting in the identification of thecontainer 10. Theelastomeric bands 40 can be made in one of several different colors to differentiate one container from another similar container. This differentiation, while potentially adding some cost to the manufacture of thecontainer 10, can be achieved with varying the color of a relatively small component of thecontainer 10 to minimize the additional cost. - To protect the
elastomeric bands 40 and to assist in their proper placement on thecontainer 10 during manufacture, they can be situated between raisedridges 27 on theexterior shell 23 offlask 21. Theraised ridges 27 can be formed on each side of eachelastomeric band 40. The raisedridges 27 are raised from the profile of the immediately surroundingexterior surface 23 a by a height equal to or greater than the thickness of theelastomeric bands 40. Theridges 27 can be formed inexpensively as an integral part of theexterior shell 23 offlask 21. The raisedridges 27 are formed by bending of the material used in manufacturing theexterior shell 23. The thickness of the exterior shell is approximately the same at the raisedridges 27 as the thickness at other portions of the exterior shell, i.e. the thickness of the exterior shell is approximately uniform throughout. - The raised
ridges 27 help keep theelastomeric bands 40 in position and help protect the bands from wear, scratches, and tears. Theelastomeric bands 40 are made from an elastomeric material to increase their friction against a user's fingers. However, as a result the elastomeric material may not be as durable as is desirable, so the raisedridges 27 perform an important function in protecting the bands. - Two
elastomeric bands 40 are shown inFIGS. 1-3 . More or fewerelastomeric bands 40 may also be used, as desirable for a particular container. - Although the invention has been described through a description of a particular arrangement of components in one embodiment, those in the art will recognize that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The foregoing descriptions are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way. The scope of the invention shall be defined by the appended claims.
