Can cooler and methods of making and using same
The present disclosure is directed to can cooler for holding a can. The can cooler includes a vessel having a closed bottom end, an upper open end, a sidewall having an inner surface and an outer surface and a ring positioned about the upper open end. The ring having a plurality of ribs configured for holding the can in the vessel.
Beverage systems and kits and methods of using the same
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.
BEVERAGE FLIGHT COOLER
A beverage cooler assembly comprising a cooler case, a cooler lid coupled to an upper surface of the cooler case so as to define an internal volume, and a cooler pack located within the internal volume. The cooler case having one or more ribs along an upper surface to elevate the cooler pack. The cooler lid including a container aperture permitting access into the internal volume. The cooler pack having a recess aligned with the container aperture and configured to accept a beverage container. The cooler pack being insulative to regulate the temperature of the beverage in the container as it rests in the recess.
BEVERAGE CONTAINER
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.
Beverage Holder
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.
Beverage cooling device
A beverage cooling device for the rapid cooling of the content of canned or bottle beverages is provided. The beverage cooling device is a handheld device that easily engages the top of a can or beverage. The beverage cooling device includes a housing with side walls for mounting a motor. A container engagement member is attached to the motor along the bottom side of the housing such that it is able to freely rotate within the side walls of the housing. The container engagement member is attached to the drive shaft of the motor such that it is able to rotate when the motor is actuated. The container engagement member includes, at its center, a central gripping member for gripping the top of containers with long narrow necks. The container engagement member further includes peripheral gripping members for engaging containers having tops of larger circumferences, such aluminum beverage containers of varying sizes. The motor is actuated by an on/off switch. The motor rotates the container engagement member when actuated thus enabling the rotation of bottles or containers when engaged by the container engagement member of the beverage cooling device. Rapid rotation of the beverage container in contact with a chilling substance such as ice or ice water results in a very rapid chilling of the contents of the beverage container.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR STORING, COOLING, AND RELEASING THINGS
An apparatus and method for storing, cooling, and releasing items, such as canned beverages, is disclosed. A key object of the invention disclosed is to provide a cooler having a smaller footprint and greater height relative to existing solutions. To this end, an apparatus configured according to the present disclosure utilizes one or more thermoelectric cooling elements to lower the temperature of a container, in combination with an air channel arranged along an axis parallel with the container's height. Further, due to the novel dimensions that the apparatus may exhibit, a means for serially releasing items from the container is disclosed, including a retainer assembly and release mechanism disposed within the device's head and a force mechanism disposed within the container's interior.
Beverage systems and kits and methods of using the same
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.
Portable Device for Protecting Personal Items While Keeping a Beverage Cold
A compartmented beverage koozie with a protective compartment that secures personal items while insulating a beverage includes a body defining a cylindrical interior that receives and maintains the temperature of the beverage. A curved plate forms a rigid mounting structure conforming to the cylindrical interior of the koozie. A water-resistant compartment forms an integral structure of the koozie. The water-resistant compartment receives and secures personal items in physical proximity to the koozie, while preventing or substantially reducing exposure of the personal items to water or other environmental effects. A water-resistant compartment pocket holds smaller personal items and a larger compartment for holds larger personal items. A transparent door shows the personal items protected within the water-resistant compartment. A door latch and gasket assembly establishes a water-resistant enclosure. The koozie is a foam structure preserving the thermal state of the beverage within the cylindrical interior. A D-ring permits single-attachment transport.
Retaining member and insulating vessel incorporating same
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.
