Magnetic object holder and method
A method for forming a device that is releasably attachable to a ferromagnetic surface comprises providing an object formed from one or more flexible or compressible materials, positioning a magnet between the object and a heat-activated adhesive patch, and applying heat and pressure to the patch to fuse the patch to the object around the magnet.
THERMALLY INSULATING HOLDER FOR DISPOSABLE BEVERAGE CUPS
An assembly for holding a beverage cup is provided herein. The assembly may include a cup holder and a retainer. The cup holder may include a closed bottom, a generally cylindrical or frustoconical side wall, and an upper access opening configured to receive the beverage cup. An outer surface of the side wall of the cup holder may include a latch-engagement feature. The retainer may include a retaining ring, a skirt, a latch, and a hinge. The latch is configured to engage the latch-engagement feature.
Protective bottle enclosure
A protective bottle enclosure includes a container having a neck, a shoulder, and a body, wherein the neck includes a plurality of threaded portions and a plurality of planar portions located intermediate the plurality of threaded portions. The enclosure further includes a removable cap from which extends a first threaded portion and a second threaded portion, the first and second threaded portions being located along opposing sides of the sidewall, and a first planar portion and a second planar portion disposed adjacent and between the first and second threaded portions. The first and second threaded portions of the cap are aligned with the plurality of planar portions along the neck when the cap is axially inserted into the container.
Beverage Sleeve Assembly
A beverage sleeve assembly for thermally insulating a beverage container includes a panel that is formed into a cylinder for positioning around a beverage container. The panel has a first layer that is comprised of a thermally insulating material to inhibit thermal communication between the first layer and the beverage container. The panel has a second layer that is comprised of a fluid absorbent material to inhibit a user's hands from getting wet when holding the beverage container.
Beverage Container Enclosure
A container enclosure for removably enclosing a container, the enclosure including a base component and a cap component configured to be removably coupled to the base component. The base component includes an outer shell having a base wall and a cylindrical sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, and an interior sleeve configured to be inserted within the outer shell. Further, the cap component includes an opening and a sliding tab configured to transition between a rearward position and a forward position to open and close the opening, respectively.
Methods and systems for controlling and maintaining the temperature of a drink within a drinking vessel
Systems and methods for controlling and maintaining the temperature of a drink are discussed. A system may include a receptacle defining a recess for receiving a drinking vessel. The system may have a stand for holding the receptacle upright. The stand may be releasably attached to the receptacle. The receptacle may include a top end portion, a bottom end portion, an inner wall portion, and an outer wall portion. The top end portion may define a top opening of the recess. A system may include a first receptacle defining a first recess for receiving a drinking vessel. The system may include a second receptacle for receiving a drinking vessel, wherein the second receptacle defines a second recess. The system may include a first stand operable to releasably attach to the first receptacle and the second receptacle. Also disclosed are methods for controlling and maintaining the temperature of a drink.
DISPOSABLE INSULATED DRINKING VESSEL AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME
An insulating disposable vessel for holding a liquid and method of making it. The vessel is made up of a paper cup and a laminated wrap. The cup has a sidewall and a bottom wall. The laminated wrap has opposed marginal side edges and is wrapped about the sidewall with the marginal edges overlapping each other in an overlapped joint. The laminated wrap is formed from a strip having an outer layer formed of paper, and an inner layer formed of embossed paper towel material. The strip is wrapped around the sidewall with the inner layer interposed between the sidewall and the outer layer resulting in a plurality of thermally insulating air pockets providing thermal insulation for the cup.
Extendable and Retractable Insulated Beverage Holder
An insulated beverage holder device includes an insulated outer hollow cylinder, the insulated outer hollow cylinder including an open top and a bottom floor; an interior insulating hollow cylinder, the interior insulating hollow cylinder having an open top and an open bottom; and an insulating hollow liner, the insulating liner having an open top and an open bottom. The interior insulating hollow cylinder may be configured to be positioned inside the insulated outer hollow cylinder and attached to the insulated outer hollow cylinder. The insulating hollow liner may be attached to the interior insulating hollow cylinder and the insulating hollow liner to touch a first beverage container.
BEVERAGE HOLDER
A receptacle having a wrap is configured to define a chamber for receiving a container. A pair of slots are formed in the wrap. A first connector is exposed through a first one of the slots and coupled to a surface of the wrap and a second connector exposed through a second one of the slots and coupled to the surface of the wrap.
INSULATED CONTAINER
A container includes a cup formed to include and interior region and an insulated sleeve. The insulated sleeve is coupled to an outer surface of the cup.
