Gaskets and beverage container systems and kits comprising gaskets. An exemplary gasket disclosed herein includes a gasket body comprising a generally cylindrical shape, at least two arcuate flanges positioned within a relative inside of the gasket body, the at least two arcuate flanges extending inward from the gasket body, and at least one gap existing between two arcuate flanges of the at least two arcuate flanges.

A kit for use with a beverage includes: a sleeve, an interior plate, an engaging feature, a connector, and a support element. The sleeve forms an interior volume dimensioned to contain a beverage. The interior plate is located within the interior volume. The engaging feature is located outside the interior volume and includes an upper sidewall and a lower sidewall. The connector penetrates the bottom and interconnects the interior plate and the engaging feature. Lastly, the support element includes a receiving feature shaped to engage with the engaging feature such that at least part of the receiving feature is positioned between the upper sidewall and the lower sidewall. Configured in this manner, the support element, which may be in the form of a serving tray, is capable of safely and securely supporting beverages in an upright position.

A capsule for a can containing liquid includes a lower shell with first locking detent mechanism and first modular attachment threads, and an upper shell with second locking detent mechanism and second modular attachment threads. The second modular attachment threads are configured to engage the first modular attachment threads and the second locking detent mechanism is configured to interlock with the first locking detent mechanism only when the first modular attachment threads and the second modular attachment threads are fully engaged. The upper and the lower shell enclose the can when the first modular attachment threads and the second modular attachment threads are fully engaged. A shell gasket seals between the lower shell and the upper shell, a can gasket disposed within the upper shell seals between the upper shell and an upper surface of the enclosed can, a lid removably attaches to the upper shell, and a lid gasket seals between the lid and an upper surface of the enclosed can.

The object of the invention is a stand for the vessels like bottles, cans. and/or boxes, which stand (10) consists of a board like body (1) that is upright or inclining and at least one first support part (5) to be adapted around the vessel (11). The object of the invention is also the method to produce the mentioned stand. The first support part (5) has been cut partly off the body (1) and attached to the body only by the second isthmus (4) and it is a ring like part of the body that can be bent or has been bent into a certain angle () in relation to the surface (1.5) of the body by bending the mentioned isthmus. The stand can also include a tumbler (1.4) that has been fixed to the down part of the opening (1.3) of the body and it is meant to support the bottom of the vessel (11). In an application of the invention the stand (10) comprises the second support part (6) that is meant to support the down part of the vessel (11) that is partly from the body loose cut and connected to the body only by the first isthmus (3) and it is a board like part of the body and it can be bent or has been bent into a certain angle () in relation to the surface (1.5) of the body by bending the mentioned isthmus.

An automatic self-adjusting beverage container receptacle has a plurality of handles for the end-user to stabilize the receptacle in operation. The receptacle contains a plurality of parallel rings of flexible fingers inside the receptacle that permit a caregiver to easily and quickly insert a beverage container. The rings also stabilize and grip the container in operation to prevent it from shifting or falling out when the receptacle is lifted and tilted by the end user in consuming the beverage. An accessory mounting system permits the rapid attachment of accessories in a temporary, semi-permanent, or permanent fashion, making each receptacle assembly customizable for individual users.

A thermally insulated holder for beverage cans includes a cylindrical sleeve and a retaining ring that couples to the upper end of the sleeve. A beverage can fits into the sleeve with the upper portion of the can extending above the sleeve. The retaining ring has a circular opening in its upper wall that engages the shoulder of the can to clamp the can in place. The retaining ring has a side wall that extends outward of the sleeve and down over the upper end of the sleeve. The lower edge of the retaining ring side wall defines a ledge. A user can grasp the sleeve with one or more fingers in contact with the ledge to provide a more comfortable and secure grip.

A beverage container coupler includes a body defining a first cavity open on a first side of the body and configured for removably retaining a first beverage container, a second cavity open on a second side of the body opposite the first side and configured for removably retaining a second beverage container in proximity with the first beverage container, and a fluid path open between the first cavity and the second cavity. The beverage container coupler further includes a puncturing element at least partially positioned within the first cavity.

The application discloses a cooler for a canned or bottled drink with an attached handle that itself accommodates a cylindrical, semi-cylindrical, or rectilinear object. A cigarette lighter or the like may be stored in the handle.

The invention provides an adjustable insulator for use with a can or bottle of drink, including a substantially planar body having a first end and a second end. The adjustable insulator includes adjustment means associated with the substantially planar body, including a first adjustment means part, associated with the first end of the substantially planar body, and a second adjustment means part, associated with the second end of the substantially planar body. The first and second parts together can adjustably connect so the first adjustment means part and second adjustment means part reciprocally connect in an adjustable manner for use about the can or bottle. The invention also relates to variants thereon and a method of use.
