A jug for a juicer has sealing features so that its contents may be isolated from the environment when it is not being filled or when used for pouring.

A multi-chamber container with an educational function. The multi-chamber container is designed to provide a housing, with a sidewall extending between a bottom wall and a top wall, that can store food or beverage substances therein. The housing includes a primary chamber and at least one secondary chamber. The primary chamber is accessible via a primary opening, while each secondary chamber is individually accessible via a secondary opening. The container provides an educational function in that the primary chamber stores a desired liquid or solid material and the secondary chamber is empty. The primary and secondary openings are Indistinguishable to the consumer until opened from a closed state. The selection of the primary opening corresponds to a correct answer to a question displayed on, or associated with, the container.

Drinking receptacles and methods related thereto are described. The drinking receptacles include: a first component comprising a first fluid chamber and a hub assembly engaged thereto; and a second component comprising a fluid-flow regulator attached to a cylindrical body, with a second fluid chamber defined therein, such that pins on an outer surface of the first fluid chamber of the first component slidably engage with channels on an inner surface of the fluid-flow regulator of the second component to form a drinking receptacle, and the drinking receptacle may be transformed, by slidably displacing the first component relative to the second component, between a closed configuration, where a flow path is blocked between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber, and an open configuration, where a flow path is open between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber.

A jug and lid for a juicer includes a cylindrical upper portion having an upper rim, with the upper rim having a first opening for receiving a discharge spout, the first opening having a pouring spout, and the lid having a cylindrical body that fits within the upper portion. The body includes a pouring channel and a second opening alienable with the first opening. The body further has an exterior surface that carries a stepped circumferential seal that seals an interior of the jug when the first and second openings are not aligned, and the openings are alignable in a filling orientation upon rotation of the lid.

A multiple beverage container assembly for containing a plurality of beverages includes a first sleeve. A disk is removably coupled to the first sleeve such that the first sleeve and the disk forms a first container for containing a first beverage. A first cap threadably engages the first sleeve to close the first sleeve. The first cap has an aperture extending therethrough and a drinking straw can be extended through the aperture. A second sleeve is removably coupled to the disk such that the second sleeve and the disk forms a second container for discretely containing a second beverage with respect to the first beverage. A second cap threadably engages the second sleeve to close the second sleeve.

Dual chamber fluid containers are presented including: a container assembly including: an outer sleeve having an open sleeve end and a closed sleeve end; a pair of facing chambers encompassed by the outer sleeve, where the pair of facing chambers each define a volumetric portion; and a weld ring for positioning the outer sleeve and the pair of facing chambers to define a continuous void around the pair of facing chambers; and a lid assembly including: a collar for removably coupling with the container assembly and shaped to conform with the weld ring; a handle coupled with the collar; and a pair of hinged doors hingedly coupled with the collar along a curved portion of the collar.

Drinking receptacles and methods related thereto are described. The drinking receptacles include: a first component comprising a first fluid chamber and a hub assembly engaged thereto; and a second component comprising a fluid-flow regulator attached to a cylindrical body, with a second fluid chamber defined therein, such that pins on an outer surface of the first fluid chamber of the first component slidably engage with channels on an inner surface of the fluid-flow regulator of the second component to form a drinking receptacle, and the drinking receptacle may be transformed, by slidably displacing the first component relative to the second component, between a closed configuration, where a flow path is blocked between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber, and an open configuration, where a flow path is open between the first fluid chamber and the second fluid chamber.

A drinking device for the retronasal perception of an aroma substance comprises a storage container (12) for drinking liquid, at least one aroma container (20), through which air can flow, and a transporting channel (18) for drinking liquid, the transporting channel running from the storage container (12) to a mouth end (28) of the drinking device (10), and also comprises an air channel (22) for transporting aromatized air, said air channel running from at least one of the at least one aroma containers (20) to the transporting channel (18) for drinking liquid or to the mouth end (28).

A self-contained unit that stores, or contains, one or more ingredients required for a mixed drink. The self-contained unit allows for storing fluids and has multiple parts for storing individual components or ingredients associated with a mixed drink, which, when mixed together, provide a predetermined, blended liquid beverage. The self-contained unit comprises at least three components which can be packaged as a single, individual unit. The self-contained unit includes an upper portion, an intermediate portion, and a lower portion. The self-contained unit is configured to 1) contain all necessary ingredients to provide a mixed drink, 2) provide an easy to handle, all-in-one transportation mechanism, and 3) provide a device to allow a user to store and drink the mixed drink therefrom.

A vacuum insulated container for storing and selectively dispensing two fluids of different temperatures serves to insulate and selectively dispense two segregated fluids having different temperatures from the container. The vacuum insulated container provides a body that is bifurcated into two compartments separated by vacuum insulated walls. The first compartment contains a fluid of a first temperature, and the second compartment contains a fluid of a second temperature. The vacuum insulated container further provides a cap having two tabs that selectively open and close independently of each other, so that only one tab can be opened to access the desired fluid. Sliding the first tab to the open position releases a tensioned locking member to lock the second tab in the closed position, and displacing the second tab to the open position releases the tensioned locking member to lock the first tab in the closed position.
