Abstract
A portable beverage container includes a container body defining an interior volume adapted to store a liquid, and a handle assembly including a first handle portion movably coupled to a first exterior portion of the container body and a second handle portion movably coupled to a second exterior portion of the container body. The first and second handle portions are movably coupled to one another to move the handle assembly between an open configuration, in which the first and second handle portions extend away from the container body, and a collapsed configuration, in which the first and second handle portions are immediately adjacent the container body.

A portable beverage container, comprising:
- a container body defining an interior volume adapted to store a liquid;
- and
- a handle assembly comprising a first handle portion movably coupled to a first exterior portion of the container body and a second handle portion movably coupled to a second exterior portion of the container body, the first and second handle portions movably coupled to one another via a pivoting element to move the handle assembly between an open configuration, in which the first and second handle portions extend away from the container body, and a collapsed configuration, in which the first and second handle portions are immediately adjacent the container body.
A portable beverage container, comprising:
- a container body defining an interior volume adapted to store a liquid;
- and
- a handle assembly comprising a first handle portion movably coupled to a first exterior portion of the container body and a second handle portion movably coupled to a second exterior portion of the container body, the first and second handle portions movably coupled to one another to move the handle assembly between an open configuration, in which the first and second handle portions extend away from the container body, and a collapsed configuration, in which the first and second handle portions are immediately adjacent the container body,
- wherein the first handle portion comprises a first locking feature and the second handle portion comprises a second locking feature configured to releasably engage the first locking feature when the handle assembly is moved to the open configuration, thereby defining an open detent position that releasably locks the handle assembly in the open configuration.
