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.

Insulated container having an internal gel layer and a vacuum insulate layer
11548718 · 2023-01-10 ·

An insulated container including a container assembly and a gel assembly. The container includes a first sleeve, second sleeve, and outer sidewall. The container includes a cavity to receive a beverage therein. The second sleeve extends about the outer circumference of the first sleeve. A spacing is defined between the first sleeve and the second sleeve. A gel layer of the gel assembly is received within the spacing. The gel layer, when the container is cooled, is cooled and provides cold energy to the beverage held within the container. Between the second sleeve and the outer sidewall exists a vacuum spacing. The vacuum spacing provides vacuum insulation to ensure that heat does not reach the first sleeve through direct contact when being cooled by the gel layer. Allowing the beverage to be cooled for extended periods of time within the insulated container.
