Abstract
A lid may be for a temperature-conserving container and may include a bottom wall, a side wall formed around a perimeter of the bottom wall, and a top wall connected to the side wall. An insulative cavity may be between the top wall and the bottom wall, and the insulative cavity may be configured to reduce heat transfer through the lid. A lip may be formed around at least a portion of an outer surface of the side wall or the top wall. The lid may be configured to be slidably received in an opening of the temperature-conserving container such that at least a portion of the lip engages a top rim of the opening and forms a seal between the outer surface of the side wall and the inner surface of the opening, thereby sealing the temperature-conserving container.
Claims21
A lid for a temperature-conserving container having an opening defining an inner surface of the opening and a top rim, the lid comprising:
- a bottom wall;
- a side wall formed around a perimeter of the bottom wall;
- a top wall connected to the side wall;
- an insulative cavity between the top wall and the bottom wall, the insulative cavity configured to reduce heat transfer through the lid;
- a lip formed around at least a portion of an outer surface of the side wall or the top wall;
- and
- wherein the lid is configured to be slidably received in the opening of the temperature-conserving container such that at least a portion of the lip engages the top rim and forming a seal between the outer surface of the side wall and the inner surface of the opening.
A temperature-conserving bowl system comprising:
- a bowl comprising an opening defining an inner surface of the opening and a top rim;
- and
- a lid configured to be removably received within the opening of the bowl, the lid comprising:
- a bottom wall;
- a side wall formed around a perimeter of the bottom wall;
- a top wall connected to the side wall;
- an insulative cavity between the top wall and the bottom wall, the insulative cavity configured to reduce heat transfer through the lid;
- a lip formed around at least a portion of an outer surface of the side wall or the top wall;
- wherein the lid is configured to be slidably received in the opening of the bowl such that at least a portion of the lip engages the top rim and an outer surface of the side wall forms a seal against the inner surface of the opening of the bowl.
A temperature-conserving bowl system comprising:
- a bowl comprising an opening;
- and
- a lid configured to be removably received within the opening of the bowl, the lid comprising:
- a unitary bottom portion comprising a bottom wall;
- a top portion comprising a top wall spaced vertically apart from the bottom wall;
- a side wall formed around a perimeter of the top wall and a perimeter of the bottom wall and extending between the top wall and bottom wall, wherein at least a portion of the side wall is part of the unitary bottom portion;
- an insulative cavity between the top wall and the bottom wall, the insulative cavity configured to reduce heat transfer through the lid;
- and
- wherein an outer surface of the side wall forms a seal against an inner surface of the opening of the bowl.
