Various embodiments concern a handheld beverage container. The beverage container includes a vacuum chamber located radially between an inner tubular sidewall and an outer tubular sidewall and axially between an inner bottom wall and an outer bottom wall. The combined heat capacity of both of the inner tubular sidewall and the inner bottom wall can be greater than the combined heat capacity of both of the outer tubular sidewall and the outer bottom wall such that a vacuum insulated thermal reserve is formed. Heat can be exchanged between the thermal reserve and the beverage to stabilize the temperature of the beverage to counteract ambient cooling/heating of the beverage. Various embodiments concern a cap that seals with a disposable cup that is held within a container body, allowing a beverage to be contained in the disposable cup while being insulated by the container body, with or without a thermal reserve.

Provided are vacuum-insulated articles that comprise an evacuated space disposed between first and second walls and a reflective material disposed within the evacuated space. Also provided are methods of fabricating such articles.

Disclosed are a multifunctional heating and heat preservation container and a charging base thereof. The multifunctional heating and heat preservation container comprises a container main body (30), with the container main body (30) comprising a container inner lining (8), and a container housing (10), which forms a vacuum cavity (9) with the container inner lining (8) and enables the bottom of the container inner lining (8) to be exposed, is arranged on the peripheral side of the container inner lining (8). The charging base comprises a base housing (1), an ejector pin (2), which is in contact with a charging ring (214), is arranged in the base housing (1), an insulating layer (3) is sleeved on the ejector pin (2), an elastic member (4) which elastically ejects the ejector pin (2) towards the outside of the base housing (1) to enable the ejector pin (2) to move out of or retract into the base housing (1) is sleeved on the insulating layer (3), and a conductive terminal (5) is connected to the ejector pin (2). The problems whereby a cup body of an existing temperature control cup uses a single-layer steel plate structure, the cup body dissipates heat quickly, and heat preservation completely depends on electric energy heating, such that a battery which is in the temperature control bottom of the container and is used for power supply consumes electricity quickly, are solved; and the problems whereby a spring in an existing charging base is arranged in an ejector pin, and the spring is prone to failure due to an overlarge current in the power-on process of the charging base with the outside, such that the ejector pin cannot rebound and reset, are solved.

A heat-insulated container for beverages includes: a wooden or bamboo inner cylinder having a substantially cylindrical shape with a closed bottom; a wooden or bamboo outer cylinder having a substantially cylindrical shape with a closed bottom; and a fit body where decompressed space is provided between an inner wall having a substantially cylindrical shape with a closed bottom and an outer wall having a substantially cylindrical shape with a closed bottom. The fit body is fitted over the inner cylinder in such a manner as to cover a bottom part and a peripheral wall part around beverage storage space of the inner cylinder. The outer cylinder is fitted over the fit body in such a manner as to cover a bottom part and a peripheral wall part of the outer wall of the fit body.

Provided are multiply-insulated articles, comprising at least first and second containers disposed together such that the interior volume of the first container is sealed against the environment exterior to the article.

The invention relates to a portable hand-held device for accommodating and transporting food or a beverage, having a thermally insulated container (2), which is intended to accommodate food or a beverage in an accommodating space (7) and which has an inner and an outer wall (8), and an insulating space (9) arranged therebetween, enclosing the accommodating space, the insulating space being of closed and sealed design and having been evacuated; and having a container closure (3), which is intended to close a container opening (4) of the thermally insulated container (2), wherein the insulating space (9) contains a working medium (11) which, by means of thermal energy being supplied from the outside via the outer wall (8), can be transferred in a reversible manner between a thermally insulating, initial state, in which the working medium (11) is in the solid state and is in contact with the outer wall (6), and is not in contact with the inner wall (5), and a thermally conductive state, in which at least some of the working medium (11) is in the liquid state and has expanded and is in thermally conductive contact both with the outer wall (6) and with the inner wall (5). The invention also provides a method for controlling the temperature of food or of a beverage in a portable hand-held device.

A shock-proof mineral container and mounting structure thereof, which provides a heat insulation container with a liner formed using mineral material. The liner is provided with shock-proof protection and a mounted assembly structure. During the process of assembling the single ended suspended configuration, a blocking member having an elastic effect is inter-connected between an annular neck configured on the mineral liner and an upper link opening joined to an outer cylinder, and the elastic strain of the blocking member is used to absorb shock waves occasionally produced by an external force when carrying the container, thereby safeguarding the structural safety of the hard and brittle mineral liner. In addition, the structure is supplemented with a cylinder liner, which adds to the heat insulation capacity of the container and maintains the stability of the mineral liner.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards vacuum vessels, more specifically, embodiments are directed towards insulating devices and high insulating systems including vacuum vessels. As an example, a vacuum vessel can include a shell including a continuous surface layer with a shell locking portion, a liner including a continuous surface layer with a liner locking portion, where the liner locking portion and the shell locking portion interlock the shell and the liner and include a first sealant layer and a second sealant layer disposed along an interface between the continuous surface layer of the shell and the continuous surface layer of the liner.

An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The second outer wall can include a second end configured to support the container on a surface. The second outer wall can include a dimple, and the dimple can include a circular base and an inner portion converging to an hole extending into the second outer wall. The hole can be sealed by a resin, and the circular base can be covered by disc formed of the material. Alternatively, a cap can cover the dimple, and a weld can connect the cap to the second outer wall. The container can also include a sealed vacuum cavity forming an insulated double-wall structure between the first inner wall and the second outer wall.

An insulated container assembly, comprises a container body, including an inner wall and an outer wall coupled at a top of the container body and separated by a vacuum gap, and a lid that is reversibly attachable to the container body. The lid includes a vacuum insert; and a sleeve encompassing the vacuum insert, the sleeve configured to facilitate attachment of the lid to the container body, and further configured to generate a seal between the vacuum insert and the inner wall of the container body such that a base of the vacuum insert is exposed to a central cavity of the container body when the lid is fully attached to the container body. In this way, the entire central cavity may be surrounded by vacuum insulation, thus improving the thermal properties of the insulated container assembly.
