Apparatus for controlling the temperature of a beverage container, for example, by either chilling the beverage container or maintaining the beverage container at a predetermined temperature, the apparatus having a generally cylindrical configuration with a receptacle in its upper portion and cooling components in the lower portion to establish a low center of gravity for the apparatus.

A shooting target stand is configured for use with a target, such as commercially available bottles. The stand includes a base that supports a retaining section having opposed surfaces in which a retaining aperture is disposed therethrough. The neck of the target is received through the retaining aperture, whereupon the bottle is supported above a support surface, such as in a substantially horizontal orientation.

The present invention discloses a device for light-treating a fluid having base having an internal hollow portion for housing electronic components, a transparent medium on a top of portion of the base on which a fluid vessel rests, a light emitting element (LEE) for producing light located in the base and positioned toward the top portion of the based where the fluid vessel rests, a processor in communication with the LEE, a user interface for inputting characteristics about the fluid to be treated, wherein the processor, based on the input, controls at least one of the intensity or duration of the light produced by LEE. A system and method for treating a fluid is also disclosed.

The double walled vacuum insulated beverage housing system provides an aperture for receiving a heat transfer unit. The heat transfer unit also provides an aperture for receiving a beverage vessel within the heat transfer unit. The heat transfer unit stores a heat transfer material including but not limited to a fluid, gel, phase change material, or other substance that can be heated or cooled depending upon the desired effect on the beverage. A retention shoulder secures the heat transfer unit adjacent an insulating chamber to insulate both the heat transfer unit and the beverage.

A flexible structure may be configured to expand a collapsible flask. The flexible structure may include a first loop made of an elastically flexible material and a second loop made of an elastically flexible material. The first loop and the second loop may be operatively coupled together at a first intersection and a second intersection. The first loop and the second loop, together, may be elastically movable between a compressed configuration in which the first loop and the second loop are sufficiently narrow to fit through an opening of the collapsible flask, and an expanded configuration in which the first loop and the second loop are not sufficiently narrow to fit through the opening.

A bottle enclosure for holding a longneck bottle having a top, neck, shoulder, and main body. The bottle enclosure can include an upper portion configured to fit around the neck, shoulder, and main body of the longneck bottle, a cap removably coupled to an upper end of the upper portion and configured to fit over the top of the longneck bottle, and a base portion removably coupled to a bottom end of the upper portion. An elastomeric component can be arranged on an interior surface of one or both of the upper portion or the base portion.

A container lid and a container are provided. A container lid for sleeving on a drink bottle, comprising an annulus-shaped lid body and a flexible snap ring, and the lid body includes a pilot hole, which penetrates through the lid body; the flexible snap ring comprises an assembly portion and a clamping portion, wherein the assembly portion encircles around an outer surface of the lid body, and a part of the flexible snap ring is extended along a radial direction of the lid body to define the clamping portion, and the clamping portion is capable of penetrating through the pilot hole from the outer surface of the lid body, and abutting against an outer surface of the drink bottle.

A tray formed from a blank of sheet material includes a bottom panel, a top panel, first and second side panels, and a locking band connected to the bottom panel at opposite upper and lower edges thereof. The locking band extends across the top panel and holds an underlying portion of the top panel in face-contacting relationship with the bottom panel. The tray is configured to transition from a first, substantially flat configuration into a second, erect configuration in which the top panel defines a concave surface configured to hold in place a rounded item. The tray is configured to be transitioned from the first configuration to the second configuration by sliding the top panel relative to the bottom panel.

A beverage sleeve provides a device for a consumer to use in connection with a hot or cold beverage. The sleeve is operable to keep the hot beverage container cool to the touch for the consumer while keeping a cold beverage dry to the touch of the consumer. A method of manufacturing produces the improved sleeve. The sleeve includes marketing opportunities by providing advertising indicia that are interfacable with the consumer and a marketing network.

A container sleeve apparatus includes an arcuate or cylindrical body that can be positioned on a cylindrical or conical container, such as a tumbler, cup, can or bottle. A transparent or translucent insert section that can be releasably attached to the sleeve body. The sleeve body can be made of a non-slip, elastic material, such as neoprene rubber. The insert section can be made of plastic and can include a logo printed or engraved thereon. The apparatus can include a light emitting device that illuminates the transparent/translucent insert section.
