Beverage container
A beverage container for preventing or inhibiting moisture collection on a lower surface thereof the beverage container comprising a liquid receptacle portion for containing a beverage, the liquid receptacle portion having inner and external surfaces defined by at least one upstanding wall and a base; a support portion disposed below the base of the liquid receptacle portion; and a liquid collection device interposed between the liquid receptacle portion and the support portion for in-use collecting excess liquid present on the external surface of the liquid receptacle portion.
Storage container
Provided is a storage container for storing a material, the storage container including a lid and a container body having a first portion for holding the material and a second portion to which the lid is configured to be attached. The second portion is spaced from the first portion in a longitudinal direction by a collar defining a gap between the first and second portions. The first portion has a wall with a closed bottom portion defining a cavity for the material and the second portion has a wall defining an opening for accessing the cavity.

Pressure equalization apparatus for a container and methods associated therewith
A device is provided that assists with equalizing air pressure within a container with the atmospheric air pressure as liquid is being poured from the container and includes one or more relatively short air tubes. The device is provided with the ability to simultaneously equalize pressure in the container while also providing a drip collection mechanism. The device may be configured for unidirectional pouring or multi-directional pouring.

Vented Cap Assembly
A vented cap adapted to accumulate an overflow of liquid from a reservoir and vent gas from the reservoir to atmosphere. The vented cap includes an insert and a shell. The insert includes a projection extending longitudinally from a floor pan. The shell includes an outer skirt joined to and extending longitudinally outwardly from the floor pan and is attached to a top. The top and the outer skirt define a headspace between the floor pan and the top. The projection extends into a portion of the headspace and defines a projection aperture, allowing liquid and gas to flow into the headspace. The vented cap further includes a vent in fluid communication between the headspace and atmosphere.

Retaining member and insulating vessel incorporating same
A retaining member for use with a vacuum-insulated vessel is described. The retaining member includes a frustoconical body, a cylindrical skirt extending from the frustoconical body, and a deformable member extending along an inner surface of the frustoconical body. The deformable member may have multiple layers. An opening extends through the frustonical body, so that the neck of a bottle may pass through the opening. The vacuum-insulated vessel, in combination with the retaining member, may receive and secure bottles having different heights and widths. The retaining member and vacuum-insulated vessel also eliminates condensation from external surfaces of a bottle positioned therein, maintains the initial temperature of the bottle, and allows a user to pour from the bottle without having to remove the bottle from the vessel.
RETAINING MEMBER AND INSULATING VESSEL INCORPORATING SAME
A retaining member and a vacuum-insulated vessel are disclosed. The retaining member includes a frustoconical body, a cylindrical skirt extending from the frustoconical body, and a deformable member extending along an inner surface of the frustoconical body. The deformable member may have multiple layers. An opening extends through the frustonical body, so that the neck of a bottle may pass therethrough. The vacuum-insulated vessel includes the aforementioned retaining member and a double-walled structure, and is able to receive and secure bottles having different heights and widths. The vacuum-insulated vessel also eliminates condensation from external surfaces of a bottle positioned therein, maintains the initial temperature of the bottle, and allows a user to pour from the bottle without having to remove the bottle from the vessel.
