The present invention discloses a locking device for replacing a liner in a thermos. The locking device locks and positions a liner stably by a high-pressure assembling force resulted from an elastic effect, after replacing and assembling the liner in a drinking container. A tightening ring with an elastic force is utilized primarily. The tightening ring is clamped between a mineral liner and a barrel by filling, forming a strong elastic reaction force to press and lock the elements, through a spinning action of a connecting ring.

The present invention is a sleeve that is place or wrapped around a beverage container. The sleeve is designed to either heat the beverage container to keep or change the temperature of the liquid within the beverage container. It can also be used to keep a users hand warm while drinking a cool beverage.

Methods of making thermal insulation products are provided, one method including the steps of sealing a support material (e.g., a nanoporous core such as fumed silica, an aerogel powder, etc.) and at least one vapor (e.g., steam) within an interior portion of a substantially gas-impermeable envelope (e.g., a metallic and/or polymeric film), and then condensing at least a portion of the vapor after the sealing step to reduce the pressure within the gas-impermeable envelope from a first pressure before the condensing to a lower second pressure after the condensing. The disclosed methods limit or eliminate the need for mechanism pumping mechanisms to drawing the vacuum within the products, drying of the core before the sealing, and the like.

A thermos flask comprises a container that has, on the upper side, an opening on which a lid is held. The lid closes the opening when in a closed position and is able to be at least partially moved by means of an actuation element in order to partially release the opening such that liquid can be poured out. The lid is able to be placed on a receiving portion of the container and is held in the closed position by means of a detent.

A portable temperature regulating food conveying device may include a lid and a base. The base may be coupled to four sidewalls which may extend up and away from the base. The sidewalls may each be coupled to two other sidewalls to form a generally rectangular prism shaped container which may define a cavity for receiving one or more food items and/or food containers. The lid may be coupled to the top of one or more sidewalls thereby allowing the lid to govern access to the cavity. A liner may be removably positioned within the cavity proximate to the base and sidewalls. One or more temperature modifying units may be in thermal communication with the cavity and the liner and may be configured to modify or to maintain the temperature of the cavity and items received within the cavity.

The present application relates to a vacuum flask assembly (1). The vacuum flask assembly (1) comprises a vacuum flask (2) with a push-button lid (5). The push-button lid (5) is movable between an open condition and a closed condition, in which a sealing actuator (15) of the lid (5) is elevated when the lid (5) is in its open condition and retracted when the lid (5) is in its closed condition. The vacuum flask assembly (1) further comprises a container part (21) which is locatable over the lid (5) and is mountable to the vacuum flask (2). When the lid (5) is in its open condition, the container part (21) is configured to act on the sealing actuator (15) as the container part (21) is mounted to the vacuum flask (2), so that the lid (5) is urged to move from its open condition into its closed condition. The present application also relates to a container (3) for a vacuum flask (2) and a baby bottle kit.

An actively heated mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container is provided. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container can include a body that receives a liquid therein and a heating or cooling system at least partially disposed in the body. The heating or cooling system can include one or more heating or cooling elements that heat a surface of the receiving portion of the body and one or more energy storage devices. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container can include a wireless power receiver that wirelessly receives power from a power source and control circuitry configured to charge one or more power storage elements and to control the delivery of electricity from the one or more power storage elements to the one or more heating or cooling elements. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container also can have one or more sensors that sense a parameter of the liquid or sense a parameter of the heating or cooling system and communicates the sensed information to the control circuitry. The control circuitry can turn on, turn off, and/or operate the heating or cooling element to actively heat or cool at least a portion of the body to maintain the liquid in a heated or cooled state generally at a user selected temperature setting based at least in part on the sensed parameter information. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container can also be paired with a remote device or mobile electronic device to send or receive communications or commands.

A self-heating container includes a first substance and a second substance that are adapted to produce an exothermic reaction upon contact with each other, a soluble material between the first substance and the second substance, a frangible membrane physically separating the second substance from the soluble material, and a means for rupturing the frangible membrane.

A portable beverage container is provided. The portable beverage container may include a glass vessel having a neck; a metal outer shell configured to surround a first portion of the glass vessel; a cap configured to engage with the metal outer shell to surround a second portion of the glass vessel; and an amorphous thermoplastic spout having a neck configured to be inserted through an opening in the cap and into the neck of the glass vessel. The spout may be configured to securely engage with the cap. The cap may include a lid with an elastomeric sealing member having a knob configured to extend into a recess in the spout and a recess configured to wrap around and over a lip of the spout. The spout may be removable from the cap while the cap is engaged with the outer shell.
