Abstract
A drinking container having a cylindrical side wall attached along threads at an external top portion to a screw on cap member sealed to the side wall to prevent leakage of fluid from the container. The cap member is integral with a freezable insert containing an aqueous solution with a downwardly descending freezable insert containing an aqueous solution with a freezing point below the freezing point of water. The freezable insert can have its contents frozen and then returned to a position within the cylindrical side wall of the container to cool a liquid placed within the container. Alternatively, the freezable insert is separate from the cap and is screwed into a central bore of the cap after being frozen.
Claims2
A drinking container having a cylindrical side wall, integral bottom and removable cap comprising
- the cap having a freezable insert attached and descending from the cap into the interior of the container, the insert having resiliently flexible walls enclosing a non-toxic, nov-volatile, aqueous solution with a freezing point below the freezing point of water, the freezable insert being removable from the container for freezing of the solution and being repositioned inside the container after freezing
- the cap having threads around an interior surface of an annular flange depending downwardly from a top annular surface of the cap, the cap threads engaging to complimentary threads on an outer annular surface of a top portion of the cylindrical side wall, the cap threads and complimentary threads sealing the cap member to the cylindrical top portion when engaged together,
- the freezable insert being attached to the cap by exterior threads on an upper portion of the freezable insert engaged to threads within a central bore on the cap, the freezable insert being removable from the cap for freezing of the contents by unscrewing the freezable insert from the central bore of the cap, and
- the cap having an eccentric bore adjacent the central bore for receipt of a means for withdrawing fluid from the container.
