An individual beverage bottle, with added convenience features making the bottle easy to open, and provides features to customize, personalize, and/or share in a very hygienic manner and providing a mechanism to secure a cup to the bottle such that an otherwise ordinary cup adapts and screws onto existing beverage containers that can be used to share the beverage or just be able to drink from a cup rather than directly from the bottle wherein, existing bottles can be utilized with very little, if any, extra footprint and minimal retooling. A proprietary labeling system is adapted to the bottle and cup.

By providing a depressed portion 7 in a container main body 1a, forming a thick portion 5a in a covering layer 5 on an edge portion 7b of the depressed portion 7, and forming a thin portion 5b adjacent to the thick portion 5a in the covering layer 5 on a bottom surface 7a side of the depressed portion 7, when a synthetic resin container including a container main body molded into a predetermined container shape and a covering layer laminated on an outer peripheral surface side of the container main body is discarded, the container main body and the covering layer can be easily separated.

A drinking vessel comprises a bottle, a cup, and a cup lid. The bottle has a bottle base, a bottle mouth, and a bottle wall extending between the bottle base and the bottle mouth, the cup comprises a cup base, a cup mouth, and a cup wall, a first face of the cup base and an inner face of the cup wall define a cup volume, the cup volume is suitable for holding a potable beverage, and the inner face of the cup wall extends from the cup base to a free edge of the cup wall which defines the cup mouth. The cup lid is configured to reversibly engage with one or both of the free edge of the cup wall and the portion of the cup wall adjacent the free edge, and the cup lid is configured to close the cup mouth. The cup base and cup wall are so configured that the bottle base and at least a portion of bottle wall fit into the cup volume with the inner face of the cup wall in close proximity to the portion of a bottle wall. The cup further comprises a lid storage recess in which the lid storage recess is defined by a second face of the cup base and an inner face of a recess wall, the second face of the cup base faces away from the cup volume, and the inner face of the recess wall extends from the second face of the cup base away from the cup volume to a recess wall free edge, the recess wall free edge defines a recess mouth. The cup lid comprises a cup wall engaging means, and drinking aperture, and the cup lid and lid storage recess are so configured that the cup lid reversibly engages with the cup lid storage recess so that the cup lid is reversibly retained in the lid storage recess.

A synthetic resin container and method for manufacturing the same, including a container main body molded into a predetermined container shape and a covering layer laminated on an outer peripheral surface side of the container main body. The method includes heating the composite preform to bring the covering material layer into a molten state or a semi-molten state while softening the preform main body to be stretchable, subsequently molding the composite preform into a predetermined container shape by using a blow molding die in which an edge portion formed by providing a step on a cavity inner peripheral surface extends along a predetermined direction, and providing, in the covering material layer to be molded integrally with the preform main body, a thin portion molded by being brought into pressure contact with the edge portion.

A protective cover that closely overlies an exterior surface of an upstanding container for holding liquid has integrally formed portions that are separately removable from the container. Each of two substantially adjacent removable cover portions preferably snugly wraps substantially adjacent surface areas of the container's exterior, and is releasably coupled by a narrow tear-off strip portion of the cover that also perimetrically wraps the container's exterior. One removable cover portion preferably helps to hold a cap in a closed orientation on the container's neck. Another removable cover portion preferably underlies a bottom part of the container's exterior surface, and thereby helps to hold the protective cover in place on the container. Yet another removable cover portion preferably wraps and grips a major part of the container's upstanding sidewall, and forms a disposable funnel when removed from the container's exterior.

A retaining member for use with a vacuum-insulated vessel is described. The retaining member may include a body and a deformable member. The deformable member may have a first layer and a second layer extending from the first layer to a resilient end of the second layer. The resilient end of the second layer may define an opening of the second layer and the opening of the second layer may be aligned with a first aperture of the body and a second aperture of the body, to receive and securely hold a bottle such as a wine bottle within the opening, the first aperture, and the second aperture. The second layer may be resiliently flexible between a first position and a second position of a peripheral edge of the resilient end, to receive and retain bottles having various sizes.

Embodiments are directed to filtration container assemblies and methods of using the same. A filtration container assembly includes an outer container and a plunging assembly. The plunging assembly includes an inner sleeve, a filtration assembly, and a cap assembly having a pressing surface. When the outer container is at least partially filled with liquid, a user can exert pressure on the pressing surface of the plunging assembly to nest the plunging assembly within the outer container, using positive pressure to displace the liquid in the outer container through the filtration assembly into the inner sleeve. In some embodiments, at least a portion of a handle for the filtration container assembly may be a part of the pressing surface.

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 polygons of flexible bands inside the receptacle that permit a caregiver to easily and quickly insert a beverage container. The bands 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.

The present invention is directed to a glass container having an outer glass surface with an inkjet printed image provided on said surface, characterized in that a CEC with a thickness between 0 to 20 nm is present between the outer glass surface and the inkjet printed image. Such glass container is preferably a one-way beverage bottle. In addition, the present invention is directed to a method of inkjet printing an image on a glass container comprising the steps of: a) manufacturing a glass container having a CEC layer; b) removing at least part of the CEC layer to a level wherein the remaining CEC layer has a thickness of 0 to 20 nm; c) inkjet printing an image on the glass container

The present invention relates to a novel customizable bottle or container. The outer surface of the bottle or container has a plurality of ridges, recesses or other delineations positioned around the outer surface. Each adjacent pair of ridges, recesses or other delineations creates a distinct region. A plurality of flexible or removable bands is provided with the bottle or container that are slid on distinct regions positioned between the ridges, recesses or other delineations. The flexible bands come in various colors and designs and decorate the distinct areas to personalize the bottle or container.
