Abstract
An insulated container is described. The insulated container includes a double-walled structure having a closed end, an open end, and a side wall extending between the closed and open ends. The side wall and the closed end of the insulated container together form a hollow interior. A glass structure may be arranged within the hollow interior. The glass structure includes a body having an open upper end and a base end, and a sipping portion extending from the upper end. The sipping portion may include a sipping end and a shoulder end spaced apart from the sipping end. The sipping portion protrudes from the open end of the double-walled structure. A collar is positioned over the sipping portion of the glass structure thereby forming a sipping surface.
Claims20
An insulated container comprising:
- a double-walled structure comprising a closed end, an open end, and a side wall extending between the closed and open ends, wherein the side wall and the closed end together form a hollow interior, wherein the side wall comprises an inner surface wall, an outer surface wall, and a sealed rim at the open end sealing a space between the inner surface wall and the outer surface wall;
- an inner structure removably arranged within the hollow interior, the inner structure comprising:
- a body having an open upper end and a base end, and
- a sipping portion extending from the open upper end, the sipping portion comprising a sipping end and a shoulder end spaced apart from the sipping end,
- wherein the sipping portion protrudes from the open end of the double-walled structure and is seated with the shoulder end atop the rim of the double-walled structure;
- and
- a collar positioned over the sipping portion of the inner structure, wherein the collar is removably coupled over the sipping portion and includes an opening in open communication with the open upper end of the inner structure.
An insulated container comprising:
- a double-walled structure comprising a closed end and an open end, and a side wall extending between the closed and open ends, wherein the side wall and the closed end together form a hollow interior, wherein the side wall comprises an inner surface wall, an outer surface wall, and a sealed rim at the open end sealing a space between the inner surface wall and the outer surface wall;
- an inner structure removably arranged within the hollow interior, the inner structure comprising
- a body having an open upper end and a base end, and
- a sipping portion extending from the open upper end, the sipping portion comprising a sipping end and a shoulder end spaced apart from the sipping end,
- wherein the sipping portion protrudes from the open end of the double-walled structure and is seated with the shoulder end atop the rim of the double-walled structure;
- and
- a collar comprising a first skirt, a second skirt, an end wall extending between the first skirt and the second skirt, and an opening in open communication with the open upper end of the inner structure,
- wherein the end wall covers the sipping end and forms a sipping surface, the first skirt extends beyond the shoulder end of the sipping portion of the inner structure to contact the outer surface wall of the double-walled structure and is threadingly secured to the outer surface wall of the double-walled structure, and the second skirt extends into an interior of the inner structure,
- wherein the sipping portion of the inner structure is disposed between the end wall of the collar and the sealed rim of the open end of the double-walled structure, and
- wherein the collar removably secures the inner structure to the double-walled structure.
