Abstract
Various embodiments of an insulating container that includes a lid configured for engagement with a housing for water leak protection. The housing and lid each respectively define a first angled surface and a second angled surface. When coupled, the first and second angled surfaces collectively define a shell interference that seals the container to prevent immediate leakage of fluid. Further, the insulating container includes a gasket that contacts a shelf portion of the housing, collectively defining a gasket interference that further seals the insulating container to prevent immediate leak-age.
Claims22
A container, including:
- a housing having a first interference region;
- a lid having a second interference region that engages the first interference region of the housing;
- and
- a fastener assembly coupled to the housing and the lid that, when engaged, applies a force that presses the second interference region against the first interference region.
A container, comprising:
- a housing defining a sidewall and a first engagement region at an open portion along the sidewall of the housing, the first engagement region including:
- a shelf portion in association with a gasket, wherein the gasket includes a first side that contacts the shelf portion and defines a gasket interference between the shelf portion and the first side of the gasket;
- and
- a first angled surface defined interior to the shelf portion;
- and
- a lid configured for engagement with the open portion of the housing, the lid including a second engagement region defined circumferentially about an interior surface of the lid, the second engagement region including:
- a gasket channel configured to receive the gasket;
- and a second angled surface defined interior to the gasket
- channel and configured to engage the first angled surface of the housing such that a shell interference is defined between the first angled surface and the second angled surface.
