Silicone-containing cartridges having a plunger at one end thereof are effectively sealed against moisture penetration by introducing a silicone oil composition having a viscosity of from 5000 mPa.Math.s to 100,000 mPa.Math.s between the walls of the plunger and the interior surface of the cartridge wall.

A heat exchanging thermal liquid container system that comprises a main body at least partially defining a liquid reservoir structured and operable to retain a liquid, and a phase change material (PCM) liner comprising a PCM liner PCM having a selected melting temperature, and/or at least one PCM pod. Each of the at least one PCM pod(s) comprising a respective PCM pod PCM having a respective selected melting temperature. Wherein the PCM liner and/or the at least one PCM pod are disposable within the liquid reservoir such that when a liquid is disposed within the liquid reservoir the liquid will contact at least one of the PCM liner and the at least one PCM pod such that thermal energy can be exchanged between the liquid and the respective at least one of the PCM liner PCM and the at least one PCM pod PCM.

An interchangeable, vacuum-sealed beverage bottle includes a body having a cap housing, a plug assembly disposed at the cap housing, a handle engaged to the cap housing, an inner flask in fluid communication with the plug assembly, and an outer flask sealed to the inner flask such that a sealed vacuum cavity is defined between an outer surface of the inner flask and an inner surface of the outer flask (single liquid-containing chamber is double-walled and a vacuum is created between the walls). An exterior cover is positioned about the inner flask and the outer flask, and an end cap mated to the exterior cover and the outer flask. Downward and upward axial displacement of a portion of the plug assembly permits and prohibits fluid to freely flow outwardly from the inner flask to an exterior of the plug assembly, respectively.

A beverage container assembly including a cup and a lid. The cup includes an outer wall and an inner wall. The cup may have a double truncated cone shape. The lid includes a spout for drinking a beverage held in the cup and a number of holes that allow aroma to escape from the cup. The cup includes an internal protrusion that aids in mixing the beverage.

A plug body includes (a) a spout part, (b) a plug including a fitting part and removably fitted to an inner side of the spout part, and (c) a sealing member in a ring shape attached to a lower side of the fitting part of the plug. When the plug is inserted, the sealing member is in contact with a portion on a lower side of the spout part to form a sealing structure.

A double wall insulated vessel with top and side openings provides an insulation layer between inner and outer walls, which may be formed of a solid or rigid material, such as stainless steel or other metal. A top opening on the vessel is configured to accept a top lid or another mating structure. The vessel is also provided with at least one side opening. Having a top, or upper, opening and at least one side opening allows the connection to the vessel of multiple externalities, such as, for example, a bowl and down stem that holds tobacco or other substance to be smoked and a neck piece or smoking tube through which a user inhales smoke.

A container assembly is provided comprising a container body, a stopper member removably attachable to the container to seal a container aperture thereof, and a thermal insulation member removably attachable to an upper body portion of the container body. The thermal insulation member has a sidewall extending downwardly from an upper portion and defining a downwardly opening cavity within which the upper body portion and the stopper are positioned. The sidewall and the upper portion of the thermal insulation member each include an inner wall and an outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall. An insulation chamber is disposed between the inner and outer walls. The thermal insulation member includes an engagement portion adapted to engage with a corresponding engagement portion of the upper body portion to removably attach the thermal insulation member thereto.

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.

A container assembly and a container lid are provided. The container assembly includes a container body, a lid, a sleeved portion, an annular pressing portion, and a straw. The container body has an opening portion at an upper end thereof. The lid is detachably disposed on the opening portion. The lid has an outer lid portion, an inner lid portion, and a connection portion, and the outer lid portion, the inner lid portion, and the connection portion jointly define a first heat insulation space. The connection portion has an annular abutting section, an enclosed end section, and an outer thread section arranged between the annular abutting section and the enclosed end section, and a distance between the enclosed end section and the annular abutting section is less than a distance between the enclosed end section and an inner lid top board of the inner lid portion.
