Abstract
A temperature-regulation receptacle system, the system comprising: a receptacle system defining a recess for receiving a stemless drinking vessel, the receptacle system including: an outer receptacle, and an inner receptacle that is removably couplable to the outer receptacle, wherein the receptacle system comprises a top end portion, a bottom end portion, an inner wall portion, and an outer wall portion, the top end portion defining an opening of the recess, wherein at least a portion of the outer wall portion is continuous about the outer receptacle, wherein the inner wall portion extends between the top end portion and the bottom end portion, the inner wall portion having at least one curved surface between the top end portion and the bottom end portion.
Claims20
A temperature-regulation receptacle system comprising:
- a top end portion, a bottom end portion, an inner wall portion extending between the bottom end portion and the top end portion, and an outer wall portion, the top end portion defining an opening of a first recess configured for receiving a stemless drinking vessel;
- a solution contained within a cavity between the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion;
- wherein a first segment of the top end portion is spaced apart from the bottom end portion by a first distance and a second segment of the top end portion is spaced apart from the bottom end portion by a second distance that is less than the first distance;
- wherein at least a portion of the outer wall portion is continuous around an entire perimeter of the receptacle system and independent of any breaks about the perimeter of the receptacle system and the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion;
- and
- wherein the inner wall portion contacts the stemless drinking vessel to transfer thermal energy between the solution and the stemless drinking vessel to cool or warm the stemless drinking vessel.
A temperature-regulation receptacle system comprising:
- an outer receptacle including an inner surface;
- an inner receptacle, detachably coupled to the outer receptacle, including a top end portion, a bottom end portion, an inner wall portion extending between the bottom end portion and the top end portion, and an outer wall portion opposite to the inner surface, the top end portion defining an opening of a first recess configured for receiving a stemless drinking vessel;
- wherein the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion define a cavity;
- wherein a first segment of the top end portion is spaced apart from the bottom end portion by a first distance and a second segment of the top end portion is spaced apart from the bottom end portion by a second distance that is less than the first distance;
- wherein at least a portion of the outer wall portion is continuous around an entire perimeter of the receptacle system and independent of any breaks about the perimeter of the receptacle system and the outer wall portion and the inner wall portion;
- wherein the inner wall portion contacts the stemless drinking vessel to transfer thermal energy between a solution and the stemless drinking vessel to cool or warm the stemless drinking vessel.
