A holding system includes a holder. The holder includes a peripheral lip and a flexible collar extending inward and downward from the peripheral lip. The flexible collar defines an opening configured to receive an object. The holding system further includes at least one of (a) a plurality of slide pads having at least a portion thereof positioned along an upper side of the flexible collar or (b) a biasing element extending along and around a periphery of an underside of the flexible collar.

Various embodiments concern a handheld beverage container. The beverage container includes a vacuum chamber located radially between an inner tubular sidewall and an outer tubular sidewall and axially between an inner bottom wall and an outer bottom wall. The combined heat capacity of both of the inner tubular sidewall and the inner bottom wall can be greater than the combined heat capacity of both of the outer tubular sidewall and the outer bottom wall such that a vacuum insulated thermal reserve is formed. Heat can be exchanged between the thermal reserve and the beverage to stabilize the temperature of the beverage to counteract ambient cooling/heating of the beverage. Various embodiments concern a cap that seals with a disposable cup that is held within a container body, allowing a beverage to be contained in the disposable cup while being insulated by the container body, with or without a thermal reserve.

A double-walled insulated container including an outer member being formed of a metal material and comprising a substantially tubular sidewall having a first end to engage a first lid assembly and a second end comprising a recess to receive therein a second lid assembly, an inner member being formed of a metal material and including a substantially annular sidewall defining a receptacle having a first end and a second end, and a ledge formed in the sidewall between the first end and the second end and extending completely around and from the sidewall into the receptacle to define an upper portion of the receptacle to receive a beverage container supported by the ledge and a lower portion of the receptacle to receive a thermal transfer material, and an insulating member being formed of a metal material and disposed in an annular space defined between the sidewalls of the outer and inner members.

A beverage holder is provided. The beverage holder may include a container having a first outer wall and a second inner wall and a sealed vacuum cavity formed between the first outer wall and second inner wall. The beverage holder may also include a fastening seal having an engagement portion configured to removably engage the container and a retention portion configured to engage a beverage container.

Containers can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include 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 second outer wall can include a second end configured to support the container on a surface. The containers can include a removably engaged handle.

A collapsible beverage insulator and methods of using the same are disclosed. The collapsible beverage insulator can have one or more collapsible zones, each of which can move between a collapsed state and an expanded state, optionally including partially collapsed states in-between. The collapsible beverage insulator can have a first end with a first opening sized to receive common beverage containers. The collapsible beverage insulator can be separated from the beverage container to be used in games. The collapsible beverage insulator can be tossed and the way the collapsible beverage insulator lands (e.g., on an end, on a particular end, or on its side) and how the collapsible zones collapse can be used to determine points to be awarded to the player.

A thermal and cold insulation bottle structure is disclosed herein, comprising: a bottle body having an integrally formed stainless steel double wall, an opening, an interior space, and a base portion, wherein the opening having an inner wall disposed with a female thread; a lid having a male thread corresponding to the female thread to screw on the opening of the bottle body; and a removable bottom cover having an expandable plug, a screw secured to the center of the expandable plug, a nut engaged with the screw, and a lever connected to the nut, so as to allow the removable bottom cover to be accommodated in the base portion of the interior space of the bottle body.

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.

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.

In an embodiment of the invention, an apparatus comprises: a first sleeve body and a second sleeve body, wherein the first sleeve body comprises a first sleeve body outer wall and a first sleeve body opening, wherein the first sleeve body opening is configured to removably receive a cup, wherein the first sleeve body outer wall comprises a first sleeve body outer wall portion, wherein the second sleeve body comprises a second sleeve body inner wall, wherein the second sleeve body inner wall comprises a second sleeve body inner wall portion, and wherein the second sleeve body inner wall portion is coupled to the first sleeve body outer wall portion. In another embodiment of the invention, a method comprises: forming a first sleeve body; forming a second sleeve body; wherein the first sleeve body comprises a first sleeve body outer wall and a first sleeve body opening, wherein the first sleeve body opening is configured to removably receive a cup; wherein the first sleeve body outer wall comprises a first sleeve body outer wall portion; wherein the second sleeve body comprises a second sleeve body inner wall; wherein the second sleeve body inner wall comprises a second sleeve body inner wall portion; and coupling the second sleeve body inner wall portion to the first sleeve body outer wall portion.
