A tip-resistant cup with handle having at least three external extended legs that prevent tip-overs. The external legs extend down to the surface the cup being placed on to provide support from three different directions. In addition, any of the legs can be used has a handle. Cups of the present invention can be stacked like other cups by simply rotating the position of the legs. The cup of the present invention can also have a curved lip to further prevent spilling when the user is drinking.

The invention is an insulated self-righting cup holder. It is not simply just a gyroscopic cup holder. This is a new application of the concept of using a gyroscope to hold an open beverage using a self-contained, insulated container formed by a fabric cover mounted to a wide, stable, non-slip base. The invention does not require physical mounting or connection to a fixed object or surface. It can be placed on any surface inclined up to fifteen degrees from the horizontal. A full sixteen-ounce open beverage can be held by the invention while the invention is sitting on that surface without fear that it will topple over and spill the beverage . . . making it ideal for camping or other outdoor activities. The fabric cover can be printed with any design. The invention is lightweight, portable, and reusable.

A modular storage system includes a number of receptacles and lids with different sizes and features that are interchangeably coupleable to each other in a stacking arrangement. A first lid has slits to provide access to a receptacle and a second lid has a suction cup and is structured to be interchangeably coupleable to the receptacle and the first lid. A user can remove the second lid from the top of the first lid and secure the second lid to the bottom of the receptacle with the suction cup secured to an external surface. A third lid includes an opening covered by a deflectable membrane. The membrane prevents liquid from spilling from the opening if the receptacle is knocked over. A straw can be inserted through the membrane and opening to provide further functionality.

The invention discloses a method of filling beverage into a beverage vessel, comprising the following steps: selecting at least one beverage by a program running on a personal electronic device having a personal electronic device processor by a user, wherein the at least one beverage is represented by at least one beverage parameter set and wherein the at least one beverage parameter set is stored in beverage data; positioning the beverage vessel in the proximity of the personal electronic device by the user; emitting an RF field by an antenna of the personal electronic device; transmitting the beverage data from an the antenna of the personal electronic device in a radio message to an antenna of the beverage vessel by near field communication controlled by the personal electronic device processor after presence of the beverage vessel in the proximity of the personal electronic device has been detected by the personal electronic device by near field communication; extracting electric energy from the RF field by the vessel antenna; storing the beverage data in a memory of the beverage vessel controlled by a vessel processor after receiving the beverage data by the antenna of the beverage vessel; positioning the beverage vessel in the proximity of a beverage dispenser by a user; transmitting a RF field from an antenna of the beverage dispenser; after detecting the beverage vessel in the proximity of the beverage dispenser by near field communication, transmitting by near field communication under control of a dispenser controller by the beverage dispenser a request command from an the antenna of the beverage dispenser to the antenna of the beverage vessel requesting to transmit beverage data in a radio message; extracting electric energy from the RF field by the vessel antenna; in response to receiving the request command by the beverage vessel, reading the beverage data from the memory of the beverage vessel and transmitting the beverage data by the antenna of the beverage vessel to the antenna of the beverage dispenser by near field communication under control of the vessel processor; and in response to receiving the beverage data by the antenna of the beverage dispenser outputting one of the at least one beverage defined by the beverage parameter set in the beverage data into the beverage vessel under control of the dispenser controller, wherein the portable beverage vessel comprises a container comprising a bottom portion forming the lower end of the container and a wall extending from the bottom portion in an essentially vertical direction; a magnetic coupling element arranged at the container; and a control device having a complementary magnetic coupli

The invention relates to an assembly (150) for anchoring a vessel (100) to a reference surface (102). The assembly (150) comprises a sealing element holder (106) for coupling to a vessel (100) and a sealing element (104) coupled to the sealing element holder (106), wherein a portion of the sealing element (104) is moveable relative to the sealing element holder (106). A base member (108) is located proximate to the sealing element holder (106) in use and a diaphragm element (112) is coupled to the base member (108) for engagement with a reference surface (102). The base member (108) comprises upper (142) and lower surfaces (144), including a sealing surface (110) on the upper surface (144) and a channel (140) extending from the upper surface (144) to the lower surface (142). The sealing element holder (106) is moveable relative to the base member (108) between first and second positions and the assembly is configured such that when the diaphragm element (112) is engaged with the reference surface (102) and the sealing element holder (106) is in the first position the sealing element (104) will engage with the sealing surface (110) thereby forming a sealed space between the reference surface (102) and the sealing element (104) to anchor the assembly (150) to the reference surface (102), and the assembly is configured such that when the sealing element holder (106) is in the second position the diaphragm (112) is removable from the reference surface (102).

The present invention relates to a processing method for coating glass container with silicone rubber and a glass container coated with silicone rubber by the processing method. The processing method comprises: cleaning a glass container body and performing a first drying treatment; brushing or spraying a primer on a surface of a part of the glass container body, wherein the surface of the part of the glass container body is to be coated with silicone rubber; performing a second drying treatment on the glass container body, and then cooling the glass container body to a room temperature; putting the glass container body into a mold cavity of a mold, injecting the liquid silicone rubber into the mold cavity, and vulcanizing the liquid silicone rubber for 200 to 300 seconds; opening the mold and letting the mold sliding out, and taking out the glass container coated with the silicone rubber layer.

A device, method, and system for consuming a beverage is disclosed herein. The device includes a golf club, a tee coupled to a club head of the golf club, and a shot glass coupled to the tee. In use, a user pours the beverage into the shot glass, lifts the golf club and the shot glass connected thereto, and consumes the beverage from the shot glass.

A bowl may include an outer body having a bottom configured to support the bowl on a surface, a circular foot removably affixed to the bottom by mechanical means, adhesive, or friction fit, an inner body wherein the inner body is connected to an upper edge of the outer body wherein the upper edge of the outer body is welded to the lip of the inner body, and an internal cavity wherein the internal cavity is formed by the outer body and inner body, and wherein the internal cavity is insulative.

The present invention provides an improved container assembly where a container or vessel with nodules is inserted into a non-slip base, such as a hockey puck, with a recess having channels to create a locking system of a container into a hockey puck made from vulcanized rubber to create a non-slip reaction when placed on a hard surface. Further, the container assembly acts as a coaster to prevent staining and the inherent weight and width of the non-slip base creates optimal stability to said container or vessel.
