Provided are multiply-insulated articles, comprising at least first and second containers disposed together such that the interior volume of the first container is sealed against the environment exterior to the article.

An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The second outer wall can include a second end configured to support the container on a surface. The second outer wall can include a dimple, and the dimple can include a circular base and an inner portion converging to an hole extending into the second outer wall. The hole can be sealed by a resin, and the circular base can be covered by disc formed of the material. Alternatively, a cap can cover the dimple, and a weld can connect the cap to the second outer wall. The container can also include a sealed vacuum cavity forming an insulated double-wall structure between the first inner wall and the second outer wall.

An insulated container assembly, comprises a container body, including an inner wall and an outer wall coupled at a top of the container body and separated by a vacuum gap, and a lid that is reversibly attachable to the container body. The lid includes a vacuum insert; and a sleeve encompassing the vacuum insert, the sleeve configured to facilitate attachment of the lid to the container body, and further configured to generate a seal between the vacuum insert and the inner wall of the container body such that a base of the vacuum insert is exposed to a central cavity of the container body when the lid is fully attached to the container body. In this way, the entire central cavity may be surrounded by vacuum insulation, thus improving the thermal properties of the insulated container assembly.

A shock-proof mineral container and mounting structure thereof, which provides a heat insulation container with a liner formed using mineral material. The liner is provided with shock-proof protection and a mounted assembly structure. During the process of assembling the single ended suspended configuration, a blocking member having an elastic effect is inter-connected between an annular neck configured on the mineral liner and an upper link opening joined to an outer cylinder, and the elastic strain of the blocking member is used to absorb shock waves occasionally produced by an external force when carrying the container, thereby safeguarding the structural safety of the hard and brittle mineral liner. In addition, the structure is supplemented with a cylinder liner, which adds to the heat insulation capacity of the container and maintains the stability of the mineral liner.

Methods and equipment to apply a decorative surface on a building panel wherein the surface includes a mix of fibres, binders, wear resistant particles and pigments. Layers may be applied as separate layers with equipment that applies essentially only one of the materials in the surface mix. A method of forming a surface layer on a substrate, the method including forming a first layer of a first material, applying a second layer of a second material on the first layer, mixing the first and second layers into a mix comprising the first and the second material, and applying the mix on a substrate for forming a surface layer.

A heat-insulated container for beverages includes: a wooden or bamboo inner cylinder having a substantially cylindrical shape with a closed bottom; a wooden or bamboo outer cylinder having a substantially cylindrical shape with a closed bottom; and a fit body where decompressed space is provided between an inner wall having a substantially cylindrical shape with a closed bottom and an outer wall having a substantially cylindrical shape with a closed bottom. The fit body is fitted over the inner cylinder in such a manner as to cover a bottom part and a peripheral wall part around beverage storage space of the inner cylinder. The outer cylinder is fitted over the fit body in such a manner as to cover a bottom part and a peripheral wall part of the outer wall of the fit body.

A cap device includes a body configured to allow the cap device to be removably coupled to a neck of a body of a container. The cap device further includes a seal mounted to the body and configured to form a watertight seal at an opening of the neck when the cap device is coupled to it, so as to preclude a fluid and/or foodstuff contained within an internal volume of the container from contacting the body.

An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a canister having a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a spout adapter, the spout adapter having a spout channel extending between the internal reservoir and a spout opening, smaller than the opening of the canister. The spout opening may be sealed with a cap having a magnetic top surface, and the spout adapter may be further removably coupled to a lid that may be used as a cup into which a volume of the liquid can be poured. In addition, spout adapter assembly with an adapter that releasably attaches to the canister and a plug that is received within the adapter that moves to place the spout adapter assembly into an open and a closed orientation. The plug may have a means to provide tactile feedback to a user that the spout adapter assembly is in an optimal pouring condition.

Various embodiments concern a handheld beverage container. The beverage container includes a vacuum chamber located radially between an inner tubular sidewall and an outer tubular sidewall and axially between an inner bottom wall and an outer bottom wall. The combined heat capacity of both of the inner tubular sidewall and the inner bottom wall can be greater than the combined heat capacity of both of the outer tubular sidewall and the outer bottom wall such that a vacuum insulated thermal reserve is formed. Heat can be exchanged between the thermal reserve and the beverage to stabilize the temperature of the beverage to counteract ambient cooling/heating of the beverage. Various embodiments concern a cap that seals with a disposable cup that is held within a container body, allowing a beverage to be contained in the disposable cup while being insulated by the container body, with or without a thermal reserve.

A double-walled insulated cooking pot has a food vessel, a sleeve positioned around the food vessel, a first insulator, and a second insulator. The insulators are affixed between the food vessel's wall(s) and the sleeve. The outer surface of the wall(s), the inner surface of the sleeve, and the insulators define a vacuum space. An insulated cover for the cooking pot has an upper layer, a lower layer, and a cover insulator. The cover insulator is sealingly engaged with an outer edge of an inner surface of the upper layer and an inner surface of the lower layer. The upper layer, the lower layer, and the cover insulator define a vacuum space within the cover. The pot and cover can be constructed such that the surfaces of the vacuum spaces are reflective.
