The present paper cup comprises a cup body, and the cup body comprises inner paper and outer paper. There are hollow bulges on the outer paper, and the outer paper forms a connecting part. The inner side of the connecting part bonds to the outer side of the inner paper, and the cup rim of the outer paper extends to the cup rim of the inner paper. In addition, the outer side of the cup rim of the inner paper bonds to the inner side of the outer paper, and both cup rims of the outer paper and the inner paper bend outward to form a double layered crimping. The manufacturing process for the present paper cup includes: paper preparation, rolling, composition, sheet cutting, forming, molding and etc.

A beverage container assembly is provided comprising a beverage container body, a stopper member removably attachable to the beverage container to seal a beverage container aperture thereof, and a thermal insulation member removably attachable to an upper body portion of the beverage container body. The thermal insulation member has a sidewall extending downwardly from an upper portion and defining a downwardly opening cavity within which the upper body portion and the stopper are positioned. The sidewall and the upper portion of the thermal insulation member each include an inner wall and an outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall. An insulation chamber is disposed between the inner and outer walls. The thermal insulation member includes an engagement portion adapted to engage with a corresponding engagement portion of the upper body portion to removably attach the thermal insulation member thereto.

A cup collar includes an extension having a rim at one end and a securing ring at a second end attached to the lip of a cup or other beverage container to allow milk or cream, an additional flavoring, sugar or sweetener, or any other additive to be added to a beverage such as coffee without having to pour out and waste the coffee or other beverage to make room for the additive. The cup collar preferably further includes a skirt having a gasket that engages and locks with a sealing ring on the exterior of the cup proximate the lip of the cup to provide a compression seal between the securing ring and the lip of the cup as well as a seal between the gasket and sealing ring to prevent leakage. The cup collar attachment avoids wasting coffee or other beverage and conserves water.

A multiple housing vacuum insulated canister to store plurality of liquid. The canister includes a first housing, a second housing, a third housing, a first rotatable lid, and a second rotatable lid. The first housing includes first top end and first bottom end to store first liquid. The second housing stores solid items having second top end and second bottom end. The second top end of second housing is detachably attached with first bottom end. The third housing having a third top end and third bottom end. The third top end of third housing is detachably attached with second bottom end to store second liquid. The first rotatable lid detachably attached with first top end enables access to first liquid. The second rotatable lid detachably attached with third bottom end having adjustable opening level to control flow of second liquid.

The present invention relates to a double-walled drinking vessel for storing a drinkable liquid, in particular a hot beverage, comprising an inner container (12) having a wall (14) that encloses a cavity (16) for holding the liquid, has an outer surface (22), and defines a longitudinal axis (A), an outer container (26) at least partially enclosing the inner container (12), and a connecting piece (34), which is connected firmly to the outer container (26), wherein the connecting piece (34) is constructed such that it interacts with the outer surface (22) with a frictionally engaged fit and the outer container (26) can be detachably connected to the inner container (12).

The present invention is directed to containers for holding non-food items having a living hinge and a quad or multi seal structure on the lid such that the seal created by the contact of the lid with the inside of the cup or container ensures a secure, friction fit orientation to prevent spillage or leakage of the contents therein. The quad or multi directional seal is created by multiple ribs on the lid that securably fit within the base of the container and indentations oriented in the bases, or by multiple ribs on the lid that securably fit within a channel structure in the top of the base of the container, the channel structure having the indentations in order to create a secure fit.

The present invention relates to a disposable liquid container including an open mouth drinking member, bottom member, side wall member, means for indicating temperature and a lid member. The disposable liquid container provides the advantage of indicating the temperature of beverage inside the container.
