Claims16
A container and holder system, comprising:
- a canister comprising:
- an insulated double wall structure comprising:
- a first end, configured to support the canister on a surface;
- a second end;
- and
- a sidewall, the sidewall having an outer diameter;
- an opening in the second end extending through the insulated double wall structure;
- and
- a neck structure encircling the opening and extending in an axial direction;
- a lid adapted to seal the opening, the lid comprising:
- a threaded sidewall configured to be received into the neck structure;
- a carry handle, the carry handle rotatably-coupled to a cylindrical side wall of the lid;
- a holder comprising:
- a holder sidewall having a top end and a bottom end, the holder sidewall having an inner diameter, wherein the holder sidewall is formed from a plastic or elastomeric material and comprises a plurality of sidewall mounting apertures, and wherein each of the plurality of sidewall mounting apertures contains a compression limiter, wherein the compression limiter is formed from a metallic material;
- a holder base extending from the bottom end of the holder sidewall;
- a locking tab extending from the holder sidewall, the locking tab containing a locking aperture;
- wherein the inner diameter of the holder sidewall is greater than the outer diameter of the sidewall of the insulated double wall structure;
- and
- wherein when the carry handle of the lid is in a downward position, the carry handle forms a vertical opening configured to allow a lock to pass through the vertical opening and the locking aperture to lock the lid to the holder.
