Abstract
A container having a canister can be configured to retain a volume of liquid. The canister can be sealed by a lid structure, and the lid structure can have a spout opening. The spout opening may be sealed by a removably-coupled cap. Further, the cap may have a magnetic top surface configured to magnetically couple to a recess on the top surface of the lid for temporary storage of the cap when manually removed from the spout opening.
Claims9
A container, comprising:
- an insulated base structure having a substantially cylindrical shape with an opening in one end;
- a lid comprising:
- a bottom surface, adapted to removably couple to the opening in the insulated base structure;
- a top surface comprising:
- a spout having a first diameter smaller than a diameter of the opening;
- a cylindrical cap, adapted to removably couple to, and seal the spout, and having a magnetic top surface with a channel structure, the channel structure extending across a diameter of the cylindrical cap;
- and
- at least one ferromagnetic piece;
- and
- a carry handle rotatably coupled to a cylindrical side wall of the lid and having a magnetic, cylindrical surface configured to be received into the channel structure of the magnetic top surface of the cap, wherein the channel structure has a concave surface conforming to the cylindrical surface of the carry handle,
- wherein a tilt angle between a central axis of the spout and the bottom surface is less than 90 degrees.
