A portable drinking vessel assembly removably engages an open end of a bottle neck to enable drinking directly from a bottle while aerating the liquid. The assembly comprises a vessel defined by a side wall, a bottom portion forming a bottom opening, and a top portion forming a top opening. A tapered conduit defined by a wide end and a narrow end integrally joins with the vessel through the wide end, and detachably attaches to the bottle through the narrow end. The liquid is aerated while flowing from narrow end, to wide end, and finally into the vessel. A silicone sleeve having ribs encapsulates a longitudinal portion of the conduit. The ribs engage an inner surface of the bottle neck to create a self-tapping rotatable action in the bottle neck, and a seal against the inner surface of bottle neck. The vessel joins a stand to remain upright.

A handle attachable to a cored-out pineapple is disclosed herein, resulting in a unique drinking vessel, particularly, as preparation of a tropical style drink. The solution provides for secure affixation as well as easy attachment and removal. Additionally, an efficient method for attaching a handle to a pineapple or other hollowed out fruit is also introduced herein.

Provided herein novel assembly comprising a vessel component and a support component that can become reversible attached or detached from each other.

A quick-release anchoring apparatus with acceleration damping includes an anchor member configured to engage an external reference surface and form a substantially airtight seal therewith that defines a controlled pressure zone. A first auxiliary component carries the anchor member. A vent port provides fluid communication between the controlled pressure zone and an area of ambient pressure. A second auxiliary component moves relative to the first auxiliary component between a vent port closure position and a vent port open position. The second auxiliary component and the first auxiliary component are discrete components. One or more flexible members deform as the second auxiliary component moves in a venting direction away from the vent port closure position toward the vent port open position. The one or more flexible members resist accelerations of the second auxiliary component away from the vent port closure position but allow normal lifting of the anchoring apparatus.

A beverage container includes a base, a stem, and a bowl. The base has a base lateral dimension parallel to the horizontal supporting plane. The stem extends upwardly from a stem lower end coupled to the base to a stem upper end. The stem has a heat pipe extending between the stem lower end and the stem upper end. The stem has a stem lateral dimension smaller than the base lateral dimension. The bowl is coupled to the stem upper end and extends upwardly of the stem. The bowl defines a liquid chamber having an upper opening. Other beverage containers, systems, methods, and heat transfer pads are also disclosed.

A beverage container comprising a stem having an upper and a lower end, a cup having an upper opening and a lower bowl portion, and a base having a tapered upper end with a diameter that widens evenly along its length towards a lower end until the diameter is at least equal to a diameter of the upper opening of the cup. The upper end of the stem is attached to the cup at a point centered on the bowl portion of the cup. The upper end of the base is removably attached at to the lower end of the stem, the lower end of the base being capable of securely covering the upper opening when not attached to the stem.

The refillable drinking vessel is a fluid containment structure. The refillable drinking vessel forms a fluidic connection with a pressurized fluid source the refillable drinking vessel: a) opens a fluidic connection with the pressurized fluid source; and, b) received fluid from the pressurized fluid source until a previously determined volume of fluid is contained in the refillable drinking vessel. The refillable drinking vessel incorporates a bottle, a bottle fitting structure, a base plate, and a fluid control structure. The base plate forms a fluidic connection between the bottle fitting structure and the pressurized fluid source. The bottle fitting structure forms a fluidic connection between the bottle and the base plate. The fluid control structure automatically controls the flow of fluid from the pressurized fluid source through the base plate and the bottle fitting structure into the bottle.

An example of a drinking vessel is provided. The drinking vessel include a base for resting on a surface. In addition, the drinking vessel includes a stability enhancer disposed within the base to increase stability of the base on the surface. Furthermore, the drinking vessel includes a stem extending from the base. The drinking vessel also includes a bowl resting on the stem. The bowl is to receive a liquid for consumption. Additionally, the drinking vessel includes a connector disposed between the bowl to the stem, wherein the connector is to releasably connect the bowl to the stem.

The utilitarian function of the engagement features on a lidded vessel is at least partially camouflaged so that the engagement features' utilitarian function is less apparent to the consumer after the lid is removed. The lidded vessel may be, for example, a lidded drinking glass—such as a lidded wine glass, beer glass, whiskey tumbler or soda glass—that is sold pre-filled and sealed with the wine, beer, whiskey or soda already inside. The camouflaging may be accomplished using one or more camouflaging techniques, some of them involving the presence of so-called non-engagement elements.
