Container having a rigid liner and a flexible cover

An insulated container assembly comprising:

• a container liner, an insulated jacket covering said container liner, and a cap retained on said container liner extending through said insulated jacket;
• said container liner being generally rigid and having a neck defining a mouth, said neck having a perimeter, said cap being attached to said neck of said container liner over said mouth;
• said insulated jacket having at least one wall defining a cavity, said wall having an upper edge defining a passage, a displaceable hood having a hinge extension and a head portion extending therefrom, a collar in said head portion defining an opening for receiving said neck therethrough such that said collar fully surrounds said perimeter of said neck;
• and a closure structure for securing said hood, to said wall of said insulated jacket;
• whereby said container liner is loaded through said passage into said cavity of said insulated jacket and said hood is extended over said container liner with said collar filly surrounding said perimeter of said neck with said hood being attached by said closure structure to said wall of said insulated jacket to retain said container liner in said cavity.

An insulated container assembly comprising:

• a container liner, an insulated jacket covering said container liner, and a cap retained on said container liner extending through said insulated jacket;
• said container liner being generally rigid and having a neck defining a mouth, said cap being retained on said container liner over said mouth;
• said insulated jacket having a bottom and at least one wall defining a cavity, said wall having an upper edge defining a passage generally opposite said bottom of said jacket, a displaceable hood having a hinge extension and a head portion extending therefrom, a collar in said head portion defining an opening for receiving said neck therethrough, and a closure structure for securing said hood to said wall of said insulated jacket such that said hood is generally opposite said bottom of said jacket;
• said container assembly having at least one broad side, said cap including a controllable spigot which is oriented relative to said container liner to facilitate dispensing when said container assembly is positioned on said broad side, and thereby dripping from said controllable spigot is prevented when the container assembly is righted;
• said cap further includes a lid portion and a spigot housing attached to and spaced from said lid portion, said spigot housing providing a hand grip structure to facilitate tipping of said container assembly onto said broad side for dispensing therefrom;
• said bottom of said insulated jacket being partially arcuate for facilitating tipping of said container assembly to dispense through said controllable spigot of said cap.

An insulated container assembly including an insulated jacket and a container liner retained in said jacket, said container liner having a neck defining a mouth;

• a cap retained on said neck of said container liner over said mouth;
• said insulated jacket having at least one wall defining a cavity, said wall having an edge defining a passage, a displaceable hood attached to said wall having a perimeter generally corresponding to said passage, said hood having a collar defining an opening for receiving therethrough said neck;
• a closure structure attached to said hood and to said at least one wall for retaining said hood over said passage and for releasably securing said hood to said wall;
• whereby said hood is displaceable from said wall for removal from said container liner and for removal of said container liner from said cavity, said container liner being positioned in said cavity through said passage with said hood overlying said container liner;
• positioning structures on said cap and said container liner for retaining said cap in a desired orientation relative to said container liner and to generally prevent rotation of said cap relative thereto, said positioning structures including at least one ramp on one of said container liner and said cap and a cooperatively formed recess formed on the other of said container liner and said cap, said recess cooperatively engaging said ramp upon attaching said cap to said container liner.

An insulated container assembly including an insulated jacket and a container liner retained in said jacket, said container liner having a body defining a mouth;

• a neck extending from said body;
• a cap retained on said container liner over said mouth, said mouth being defined at an edge of said neck with said cap being attached to said neck;
• said insulated jacket having at least one wall defining a cavity, said wall having an upper edge defining a passage, a displaceable hood attached to said wall having a perimeter generally corresponding to said passage, said hood having a collar defining an opening for receiving therethrough said neck;
• a closure structure attached to said hood and to said at least one wall for retaining said hood over said passage and for releasably securing said hood to said wall;
• whereby said hood is displaceable from said wall for removal from said container liner and for removal of said container liner from said cavity, said container liner being positioned in said cavity through said passage with said hood overlying said container liner, said container liner having at least one protrusion extending from an external surface of said neck for retaining said collar of said hood thereunder.

An insulated container assembly including an insulated jacket and a container liner retained in said jacket, said container liner having a neck defining a mouth;

• a cap retained on said neck of said container liner;
• said insulated jacket having a bottom and at least one wall defining a cavity, said wall having an upper edge defining a passage generally opposite said bottom of said jacket, a displaceable hood attached to said wall having a perimeter generally corresponding to said passage, said hood having a collar defining an opening for receiving therethrough said neck;
• a closure structure attached to said hood and to said at least one wall for retaining said hood over said passage End for releasably securing said hood to said wall such that said hood is generally opposite said bottom of said jacket;
• whereby said hood is displaceable from said wall for removal from said container liner and for removal of said container liner from said cavity, said container liner being positioned in said cavity through said passage with said hood overlying said container liner, and wherein said bottom of said insulated jacket has a base rim thereon extending along a perimeter thereof, whereby said container assembly rests in an upright position on said base rim and said base rim stabilizes said container assembly to prevent tipping thereof.
