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 an internal passageway extending between the internal reservoir and a spout opening, which may be smaller than the opening of the canister. The spout opening may be sealed with an upper cap that has a magnetic top surface. The upper cap may be selectively coupled to seal the spout opening, or may be magnetically coupled to a magnetic docking surface of a docking structure on the spout adapter.

An article includes walls defining an insulating space therebetween and a vent forming an exit for gas molecules during evacuation of the space. A distance separating the walls is variable in a portion adjacent the vent such that gas molecules are directed towards the vent imparting a greater probability of molecule egress than ingress such that deeper vacuum is developed without requiring getter material. The variable-distance portion may be formed by converging walls. Alternatively, a portion of one of the walls may be formed such that a normal line at any location within that portion is directed substantially towards a vent opening in the other wall.

A thermally insulated cooler for keeping canned drinks cold has a tubular shape. Cans are stacked in the tube one atop the other, and the inner diameter of the tube fits closely around the circumference of the cans. The length of the cooler can be sized to accommodate various numbers of cans. The cooler is of double wall construction, and the space between the walls is either a vacuum or a thermally insulating material. A coil spring in the bottom of the tube biases the cans through the upper end of the tube. A retaining ring mounted to the open end of the tube has an opening with radially inwardly projecting tabs that grip a can as the spring feeds it through the opening. The tabs hold the can partially protruding from the tube until a user affirmatively removes the can from the tube.

An optimized thermal bottle, including a first compartment and a second compartment configured for containing drinks; a cap able to close the optimized thermal bottle in correspondence with an upper portion of said optimized thermal bottle. The first compartment and the second compartment are adjacent and form a thermos.

A reversibly sealed, double-walled vacuum canister for housing temperature-sensitive medications and protecting them from ambient temperatures outside of recommended storage temperatures, and including multiple storage areas within the canister's temperature-protected cavity.

The application describes a protective case for an auto-injector. The medicament contained within these auto-injectors can be susceptible to degradation due to exposure to extreme temperatures and light. Thus, one embodiment of the protective case reduces the rate of heat transfer between the internal storage compartment of the case and the external atmosphere by including particularly configured vacuum chambers. Additionally, as auto-injectors become smaller, portability can be desirable. Thus, another embodiment of the protective case includes low-profile cases that allow the user to keep the auto-injector with them, e.g., by attaching the case to a common everyday item.

An insulated container for food particulate and beverages is described. The insulated container includes a double-walled structure composed of a metal, and a glass structure arranged within a hollow interior of the double-walled structure. The glass structure includes a body and a sipping portion extending from the body. The sipping portion isolates the user's lips from contacting the double-walled structure. The glass structure may be repeatably removed for cleaning or replacement. The insulated structure includes a deformable flange that secures the glass structure to the double-walled structure. The insulated container may be vacuum-insulated.

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.
