Abstract
An insulated container for food particulate and beverages is described. The insulated container includes a double-walled structure composed of a metal, and a glass structure arranged within a hollow interior of the double-walled structure. The glass structure includes a body and a sipping portion extending from the body. The sipping portion isolates the user's lips from contacting the double-walled structure. The glass structure may be repeatably removed for cleaning or replacement. The insulated structure includes a deformable flange that secures the glass structure to the double-walled structure. The insulated container may be vacuum-insulated.

An insert container for use within an outer vessel, comprising:
- a glass container having:
- a body defining a hollow interior between a closed end and an open end;
- and
- a sipping portion extending from the open end and having a shoulder end and a sipping end;
- and
- a deformable retaining flange secured to an outer surface of the body and configured to removably retain the glass container within the outer vessel;
- wherein the shoulder end is configured to be seated atop a rim of an open end of the outer vessel;
- and
- wherein the deformable retaining flange comprises a main body configured to fit securely around the circumference of the outer surface of the body of the glass container and a plurality of flexible protrusions extending outward from an exterior of the main body and configured to engage an inner surface of the outer vessel to provide for a friction fit and removable retention of the glass container within the outer vessel, an outer diameter of the flexible protrusions of the deformable flange being greater than an inner diameter of the outer vessel.
An insert container for use within an outer vessel, comprising:
- a glass container having:
- a body defining a hollow interior between a closed end and an open end;
- and
- a sipping portion extending from the open end and having a shoulder end and a sipping end;
- and
- a deformable retainer secured to an outer surface of the body and configured to removably retain the glass container within the outer vessel;
- wherein the shoulder end is configured to be seated atop a rim of an open end of the outer vessel.
An insulated container comprising:
- an insulated double-walled outer vessel;
- and
- a glass insert container disposed within the outer vessel, comprising:
- a body defining a hollow interior between a closed end and an open end;
- a sipping portion extending from the open end and having a shoulder end and a sipping end;
- and
- a deformable retaining flange secured to an outer surface of the body and configured to removably retain the glass insert container within the outer vessel;
- wherein the shoulder end is configured to be seated atop a sealed rim of an open end of the outer vessel, with the sipping portion protruding from the open end of the outer vessel;
- and
- wherein the deformable retaining flange is attached to the glass insert container more securely than the removable retention provided by the deformable flange with respect to the outer vessel.
