A mountable holder for carrying a beverage on a supporting structure, such as a ski pole, snowboard, ski shoes, and the like. The mountable holder can safely hold a beverage container and can be coupled to multiple objects. The mountable holder includes an insulative sleeve having multiple pairs of slits in the wall of the sleeve. Dual hook and loop cinch straps pass through the pairs of slits and tighten around the sleeve and the supporting structure for securing the beverage container into the sleeve and the mounting holder to the supporting structure.

Methods of forming an article from a molten plastic composition comprising a polymer and a blowing agent. The methods include injecting the molten plastic composition into a mould, allowing the plastic composition to form a first solid skin adjacent to an in contact with a first cavity-forming surface of the mould and a second solid skin adjacent to and in contact with a second cavity-forming surface of the mould, and then opening the mould before the molten plastic composition between the first and second solid skins in at least one portion of the circumference of a region of the mould cavity defining an annular cross-section of the cavity has solidified.

An insulated container including a container assembly and a gel assembly. The container includes a first sleeve, second sleeve, and outer sidewall. The container includes a cavity to receive a beverage therein. The second sleeve extends about the outer circumference of the first sleeve. A spacing is defined between the first sleeve and the second sleeve. A gel layer of the gel assembly is received within the spacing. The gel layer, when the container is cooled, is cooled and provides cold energy to the beverage held within the container. Between the second sleeve and the outer sidewall exists a vacuum spacing. The vacuum spacing provides vacuum insulation to ensure that heat does not reach the first sleeve through direct contact when being cooled by the gel layer. Allowing the beverage to be cooled for extended periods of time within the insulated container.

Beverage systems and kits and methods of using the same. A beverage system of the present disclosure includes a container configured to retain a beverage, the container having an outer wall and an internal threaded section above a non-threaded inner wall section; a threaded gasket having a threaded portion and an outer curved profile, the threaded portion configured to engage the internal threaded section of the container when coupled thereto; and a lid having an extension portion extending from a cover portion, the extension portion having a seal positioned thereon, the seal configured to engage the non-threaded inner wall section of the container when coupled thereto.

The present disclosure relates to a phase change material (PCM) composition and a process for preparation thereof, wherein said composition comprising a phase change material, glass fibers and xanthan gum. In a preferred embodiment, the phase change material is water (or ice) and the g lass fibers are glass wool. The disclosure also relates to a stackable and sealable package enclosing the PCM composition. In a particular embodiment, the PCM composition is used to prepare a cold box that may be used in cold chain transportation.

A modular box assembly includes a box with side panels defining a box cavity, a first thermal liner positioned within the box cavity, the first thermal liner including a first insulation batt disposed between sheets, the first thermal liner defining three first liner panels, at least one box side panel being covered by a first liner panel, and a second thermal liner positioned within the box cavity, the second thermal liner including a second insulation batt disposed between sheets, the second thermal liner defining three second liner panels. At least one other of the side box panels is covered by a second liner panel. The bottom box panel is covered by either a first liner panel not covering any side box panel or a second liner panel not covering any side box panel. Each insulation batt can be formed from a mixture of thermoplastic binder fibers and reinforcement fibers.

Rigid wadding, insulation and packaging for food and other products is made of homogeneous polyester terephthalate (PET) that satisfies the resin recycling identification code number one. For purposes of protecting an inner rigid wadding or other insulation, one or more film strips or film coatings may be applied by the artful use of amorphous (non-crystalized) PET that melts at a lower temperature and can act as a thermal bond adhesive. The film strips or film coatings may be made of homogeneous polyester terephthalate (PET) that satisfies the resin recycling identification code number one.

The present disclosure relates to a durable beverage container insulator that may enhance the consumer's enjoyment of the beverage by a combination of visual and tactile enhancements to the beverage container. For example, the insulator may be composed of a transparent material that enables the consumer to see the label and type of beverage being consumed. The insulator may be sufficiently firm to ensure durability over multiple uses, and/or sufficiently pliable to enable users to deform the insulator and enjoy a “cushy” feeling while holding the insulator. In some embodiments, the insulator is configured to enhance ease and/or enjoyment of sliding a beverage container in and out of the insulator. For example, in some embodiments, an aperture disposed on a base of the beverage container may generate a whistling sound as the beverage container is inserted in and/or pulled out of the insulator.

The present application is related to a portable refrigeration apparatus for vaccines, food items, beverage containers, or any other item. The apparatus includes a refrigerated container comprised of a plurality of substantially identical chilling panels interconnected to form a sealed container that defines an internal volume, each of the chilling panels containing a cooling element. The refrigerated container encloses an internal storage space and has a generally modular design to facilitate packaging and transportation. The apparatus permits the internal storage space to maintain a temperature in the range of 4° C.˜8° C. for a long period of time following a loss of electrical power.
