Patent Grant
11814235
The present disclosure herein relates broadly to containers, and more specifically to drinkware containers used for drinkable beverages or foods.
A container may be configured to store a volume of liquid. Containers can be filled with hot or cold drinkable liquids, such as water, coffee, tea, a soft drink, or an alcoholic beverage, such as beer. These containers can be formed of a double-wall vacuumed formed construction to provide insulative properties to help maintain the temperature of the liquid within the container.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. The Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
In certain examples, an insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid. The insulating container can include a canister with a first inner wall having a first end with an opening extending into an internal reservoir for receiving liquid, along with a second outer wall and a bottom portion forming an outer shell of the canister. The bottom portion may form a second end configured to support the canister on a surface.
The insulating container may include a spout adapter configured to seal the opening of the canister, and provide a re-sealable spout opening that is narrower than the opening of the canister, to facilitate more controlled pouring of the contents of the internal reservoir of the canister into another container. In one example, the other container may be a cup formed from a lid that is removably coupled to a top of the spout adapter.
The present disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not limited in the accompanying figures in which like reference numerals indicate similar elements and in which:
Further, it is to be understood that the drawings may represent the scale of different components of various examples; however, the disclosed examples are not limited to that particular scale.
In the following description of the various examples, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration various examples in which aspects of the disclosure may be practiced. It is to be understood that other examples may be utilized and structural and functional modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure.
In one implementation, the cap 108 includes a magnetic top surface 111. The magnetic top surface 111 may include a polymeric outer layer covering a ferromagnetic structure (e.g. a metal plate/other structural shape may be positioned below the magnetic top surface 111). In another implementation, all or a portion of the outer surfaces of the cap 108 may be constructed from one or metals and/or alloys. Accordingly, the magnetic top surface 111 may include an outer material that is ferromagnetic, or itself magnetized. In another implementation, the magnetic top surface 111 may comprise one or more polymers overmolded over a magnet structure (i.e. a magnetized metal/alloy may be positioned within the cap 108 as it is being molded).
The term “magnetic,” as utilized herein, may refer to a material (e.g. a ferromagnetic material) that may be temporarily or “permanently” magnetized. As such, the term “magnetic” may refer to a material (i.e. a surface, or object, and the like) that may be magnetically attracted to a magnet (i.e. a temporary or permanent magnet) that has a magnetic field associated therewith. In one example, a magnetic material may be magnetized (i.e. may form a permanent magnet). Additionally, various examples of magnetic materials may be utilized with the disclosures described herein, including nickel, iron, and cobalt, and alloys thereof, among others.
The cap 108, when removed from the spout opening 112, as depicted in
It is contemplated that in one example, the canister 102 and the lid 106 may be primarily constructed from an alloy, such as steel, or an alloy of titanium, and the spout adapter 104 and cap 108 may be primarily constructed from one or more polymers (with the exception of the magnetic top surface 111, and the docking surface 114, among others). However, it is further contemplated that each element described herein can be constructed from one or more metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, or fiber-reinforced materials, among others. In particular, the container 100 may utilize one or more of steel, titanium, iron, nickel, cobalt, high impact polystyrene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, nylon, polyvinylchloride, polyethylene, and/or polypropylene, among others.
It is contemplated, however, that in an alternative implementation, the threaded surfaces previously described may be reversed, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. In this alternative implementation, the spout adapter 104 may include a bottom threaded surface that is configured to removably couple to a threaded outer surface of the canister 102, and the spout adapter 104 may include a top threaded surface that is configured to removably couple to a threaded outer surface of the lid 106. Further a threaded inner spout surface of the spout opening 112 may be configured to removably couple to a threaded outer surface of the cap 108.
It is contemplated that a threaded surface discussed herein may include any thread geometry, including any thread pitch, angle, or length, among others, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. As such, any of the bottom threaded surface 116, threaded inner surface 118, top threaded surface 120, threaded inner surface of the lid 106, threaded outer spout surface 122, and/or threaded inner surface 124 may be fully engaged with corresponding mating elements by rotating the elements relative to one another by any number of rotations, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. For example, two mating threaded elements, from elements 116, 118, 120, 122, and/or 124, may be fully engaged by rotating by approximately ¼ of one full revolution, approximately ⅓ of one full revolution, approximately ½ of one full revolution, approximately 1 full revolution, approximately 2 full revolutions, approximately 3 full revolutions, at least 1 revolution, or at least five revolutions, among many others.
It is further contemplated that the removable couplings between one or more of the canister 102, the spout adapter 104, the lid 106 and the cap 108 may include additional or alternative coupling mechanisms, such as clamp elements, tabs, ties, or an interference fitting, among others, without departing from the scope of these disclosures.
In one example, the spout opening 112 of the spout adapter 104 provides access to a spout channel 130 that extends through a height (approximately parallel to direction 132) of the spout adapter 104 and through to a bottom surface 134 of the spout adapter 104, as depicted in
In one implementation, the spout adapter 104 may include an internal cavity 138 that extends around the spout channel 130. This internal cavity 138 may be sealed by one or more manufacturing processes utilized to construct the spout adapter 104. Accordingly, in one example, the internal cavity 138 may contain a vacuum cavity to reduce heat transfer between the bottom surface 134 and top surface 111, or vice versa. Additionally or alternatively, it is contemplated that the internal cavity 138 may be partially or wholly filled with one or more foam or polymer materials to increase thermal resistance. In yet another example, one or more surfaces of the internal cavity 138 may be coated with a reflective material to reduce heat transfer by radiation.
In one example, a magnet, or magnetic material, may be positioned behind the docking surface 114. Accordingly, in one implementation, the magnet or magnetic material may be positioned within a cavity 140 within the handle 128. It is contemplated that any coupling mechanism may be utilized to position the magnet or magnetic material within the cavity 140, including gluing, an interference fitting, clamping, screwing, or riveting, among others. In another example, the magnet or magnetic material may be overmolded within the handle 128, and such that the cavity 140 represents a volume that the overmolded magnet or magnetic material occupies.
In one example, the spout adapter 104 may be integrally formed. In another example, the spout adapter 104 may be formed from two or more elements that are coupled together by another molding process, welding, gluing, interference fitting, or one or more fasteners (rivets, tabs, screws, among others). In one implementation, the spout adapter 104 may be constructed from one or more polymers. It is contemplated, however, that the spout adapter 104 may, additionally or alternatively, be constructed from one or more metals, alloys, ceramics, or fiber-reinforced materials, among others. The spout adapter 104 may be constructed by one or more injection molding processes. In one specific example, a multi-shot injection molding process (e.g. a two-shot, or a three-shot, among others) may be utilized to construct the spout adapter 104. It is further contemplated that additional or alternative processes may be utilized to construct the spout adapter 104, including rotational molding, blow molding, compression molding, gas assist molding, and/or casting, among others.
In the depicted example, cap 108 has a substantially cylindrical shape. However, it is contemplated that additional or alternative shapes may be utilized, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. For example, cap 108 may be cuboidal in shape, among others. The cap 108 includes grip depressions 142a-c, which are configured to reduce or prevent a user's fingers from slipping upon application of a manual torque to the cap 108 to couple or uncouple the cap 108 to or from the threaded outer spout surface 122 of the spout opening 112. It is contemplated that any number of the grip depressions 142a-c may be utilized around a circumference of the cylindrical cap 108, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. Further, the cap 108 may include additional or alternative structural elements configured to increase a user's grip of the cap 108. For example, an outer cylindrical surface 144 of the cap 108 may include a tacky/rubberized material configured to increase a user's grip. Further, the outer cylindrical surface 144 may include a series of corrugations, or a knurling.
The canister 102 may include a first inner wall 146 and a second outer wall 148. A sealed vacuum cavity 150 may be formed between the first inner wall 146 and the second outer wall 148. This construction may be utilized to reduce heat transfer through the first inner wall 146 and the second outer wall 148 between a reservoir 152, which is configured to receive a mass of liquid, and an external environment 154. As such, the sealed vacuum cavity 150 between the first inner wall 146 and the second outer wall 148 may be referred to as an insulated double-wall structure. Additionally, the first inner wall 146 may have a first end 156 that defines an opening 158 extending into the internal reservoir 152 for receiving a mass of liquid. The second outer wall 148 may form an outer shell of the canister 102. The second outer wall 148 may be formed of a side wall 160 and a bottom portion 162, which forms a second end 164 to support the canister 102 on a surface. A seam 163 can be formed between the second outer wall 148 and the bottom portion 162. In one example, the bottom portion 162 can be press-fitted onto the second outer wall 148. Additionally the bottom portion 162 can be welded to the second outer wall 148. The weld may also be polished such that the seam does not appear on the bottom of the canister 102.
The bottom portion 162 may include a dimple 166 that is used during a vacuum formation process. As depicted in
In alternative examples, the dimple 166 may be covered by a correspondingly shaped disc (not shown) such that the dimple 166 is not visible to the user. The circular base 168 may be covered by a disc, which can be formed of the same material as the second outer wall 148 and the first inner wall 146. For example, the first inner wall 146, the second outer wall 148, and the disc may be formed of titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, or other metals or alloys. However, other suitable materials and methods for covering the dimple 166 are contemplated, as discussed herein and as discussed in U.S. Appl. No. 62/237,419, which is incorporated fully by reference as set forth fully herein.
The canister 102 may be constructed from one or more metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, or fiber-reinforced materials. Additionally, canister 102 may be constructed using one or more hot or cold working processes (e.g. stamping, casting, molding, drilling, grinding, forging, among others). In one implementation, the canister 102 may be constructed using a stainless steel. In specific examples, the canister 102 may be formed substantially of 304 stainless steel or a titanium alloy. Additionally, one or more cold working processes utilized to form the geometry of the canister 102 may result in the canister 102 being magnetic (may be attracted to a magnet).
In one example, the reservoir 152 of the canister 102 may have an internal volume of 532 ml (18 fl. oz.). In another example, the reservoir 152 may have an internal volume ranging between 500 and 550 ml (16.9 and 18.6 fl. oz.) or between 1000 ml and 1900 ml (33.8 fl. oz. and 64.2 fl. oz.). In yet another example, the reservoir 152 may have an internal volume of at least 100 ml (3.4 fl. oz.), at least 150 ml (5.1 fl. oz.), at least 200 ml (6.8 fl. oz.), at least 400 ml (13.5 fl. oz.), at least 500 ml (16.9 fl. oz.), or at least 1000 ml (33.8 fl. oz.). The opening 158 in the canister 102 may have an opening diameter of 64.8 mm. In another implementation, the opening 158 may have an opening diameter at or between 60 and/or 70 mm. The reservoir 152 may have an internal diameter 153 and a height 155 configured to receive a standard-size 355 ml (12 fl. oz.) beverage (aluminum) can (standard 355 ml beverage can with an external diameter of approximately 66 mm and a height of approximately 122.7 mm). Accordingly, the internal diameter 153 may measure at least 66 mm, or between 50 mm and 80 mm. The height 155 may measure at least 122.7 mm, or between 110 mm and 140 mm.
Additional or alternative methods of insulating the container 100 are also contemplated. For example, the cavity 150 between the first inner wall 146 and the outer walls 148 may be filled with various insulating materials that exhibit low thermal conductivity. As such, the cavity 150 may, in certain examples, be filled, or partially filled, with air to form air pockets for insulation, or a mass of material such as a polymer material, or a polymer foam material. In one specific example, the cavity 150 may be filled, or partially filled, with an insulating foam, such as polystyrene. However, additional or alternative insulating materials may be utilized to fill, or partially fill, cavity 150, without departing from the scope of these disclosures.
Moreover, a thickness of the cavity 150 may be embodied with any dimensional value, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. Also, an inner surface of one or more of the first inner wall 146 or the second outer wall 148 of the container 100 may comprise a silvered surface, copper plated, or covered with thin aluminum foil configured to reduce heat transfer by radiation.
In one example, the lid 106 may be formed of one or more metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, or fiber-reinforced materials, among others. Further, the lid 106 may be formed using one or more injection molding or other manufacturing processes described herein among others. The lid 106 may comprise a solid structure, or may include a double-wall structure similar to the canister 102, having an inner wall 172, an outer wall 174, and a cavity 176 therebetween. It is also contemplated that the lid 106 may be insulated such that the cavity 176 is a vacuum cavity constructed using the techniques described herein.
In one example, the canister 102 includes a shoulder region 182. As such, the canister 102 may have an outer diameter 184 that is greater than an outer diameter 186 of the spout adapter 104. Accordingly, an outer wall 148 of the canister 102 may taper between points 188 and 190 along a shoulder region 182. In one example, the shoulder region 182 may improve heat transfer performance of the canister 102 (reduce a rate of heat transfer). In particular, the shoulder region 182 may comprise insulation having lower thermal conductivity (higher thermal resistance/insulation) than the lid spout adapter 104 that seals the opening 158.
It is contemplated that the spout adapter 104 may include a lower gasket 178 configured to seal the opening 158 of the canister 102 when the spout adapter 104 is removably coupled thereto. Additionally, the spout adapter 180 may include an upper gasket configured to resealably seal the lid 106 against the spout adapter 104, when coupled thereto.
A grip ring 1206 may extend around a circumference of the opening adapter 1204. The grip ring 1206 may be spaced between the external top threaded surface 1220 and the external bottom threaded surface 1222. In one example, the grip ring 1206 may be integrally molded with the cylindrical structure of the opening adapter 1204. In another example, the grip ring 1206 may be formed separately, and rigidly coupled to the cylindrical structure of the opening adapter 1204. For example, the grip ring 1206 may be injection molded as a separate element and subsequently coupled to the opening adapter 1204 by gluing, welding, and/or an interference fitting, among others. In another example, the grip ring 1206 may be overmolded onto the opening adapter 1204.
The opening adapter 1204 may include a top opening 1224 configured to receive a plug structure 1212. The plug structure 1212 may include a bottom portion 1216 that has a substantially cylindrical sidewall, and a top portion 1214 that is rigidly coupled thereto. In one example, the bottom portion 1216 may be spin welded to the top portion 1214, among others.
The plug structure 1212 may include a handle 1306 that is rigidly coupled to the top portion 1214. The handle 1306 may extend across a diameter of the top portion 1214, and may be configured for manual actuation of the threaded coupling between the plug structure 1212 and the opening adapter 1204, as well as for manual insertion/removal of the plug structure 1212. The plug structure 1212 may also include one or more external channels 1308. In one specific example, the plug structure 1212 may include three external channels 1308 equally spaced apart around a circumference of the outer sidewall of the bottom portion 1216 of the plug structure 1212. It is contemplated, however, that any number of external channels 1308 may be utilized, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. The external channel 1308 may be configured to extend between a channel top edge 1310 and a channel bottom edge 1312. In one implementation, a depth of the external channel 1308 (e.g. depth along a radial direction relative to the substantially cylindrical geometry of the outer sidewall of the bottom portion 1216 of the plug structure 1212) may be uniform along a longitudinal length of the external channel 1308 (e.g. along that direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical geometry of the bottom portion 1216 of the plug structure 1212). In another implementation, a depth of the external channel 1308 may be non-uniform, and may transition from a first depth to a second depth, less than the first depth, along a channel transition region 1314. In certain examples, the external channel 1308 may be configured to provide a partial or full gas pressure relief/equilibration between an external environment and an internal compartment of the canister 102 that the opening adapter 1204 is removably coupled to.
In one example, the plug structure 1212 may include an internal cavity that is partially or wholly filled with an insulating material, such as a foam (e.g. expanded polystyrene, among others), and/or may include a vacuum cavity, configured to reduce heat transfer therethrough.
The plug structure 1212 may additionally include retention tabs 1316. As depicted, the plug structure 1212 may include three retention tabs 1316 equally spaced around a circumference of a base 1318 of the plug structure 1212. However, it is contemplated that any number of retention tabs 1316 may be utilized, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. In one example, the retention tabs 1360 may include flexures (e.g. one or more of longitudinal surface 1322 and/or radial surface 1320 may be configured to deform) configured to flex between a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration. As depicted in
In one example, the retention tabs 1316 may be configured to limit the extent to which the plug structure 1212 may be removed from the opening adapter 1204 when the threaded outer surface 1302 is uncoupled from the internal threaded surface 1218 of the opening adapter 1204. In particular, when in the expanded configuration, the retention tabs 1316 may be configured to abut a retention surface of the opening adapter 1204. As such,
In order to fully remove the plug structure 1212 from the opening adapter 1204, a manual decoupling force may be applied to urge the retention tabs 1316 to transition from the expanded configuration depicted in
Similar to the embodiment of the opening adapter assembly 1100 described above, the plug structure 1650 may be received into the opening adapter 1604, where the external threads 1656 of the plug structure 1650 may engage the internal threads 1628 of the opening adapter 1604 such that as the plug structure 1650 is rotated the plug structure 1650 moves in a vertical direction to open and close the adapter assembly 1600. When the plug structure 1650 is engaged with the opening adapter 1604, the opening adapter assembly 1600 may be in a closed orientation such that liquid does not flow from the container as shown in
The plug structure 1650 may include a top/handle portion 1652 and a substantially cylindrical lower portion 1654, where the lower portion 1654 may include an externally threaded portion 1656 that may removably couple with the internally threaded portion 1628 of the spout adapter 1604 when the plug structure 1650 is received within the opening 1620. The plug structure 1650 may also include an upper plug gasket 1680 and a lower plug gasket 1682 to seal against the opening adapter 1604. In addition, the plug structure 1650 may include a plurality of elongated tabs 1660 that frictionally engage a projection 1630 extending from the interior surface 1626 when the plug structure 1650 is rotated within the adapter 1604 to move the adapter assembly 1600 to an open orientation, where the frictional engagement of the elongated tabs 1660 with the projection 1630 provides the user with tactile feedback that the adapter assembly 1600 is in an optimal pouring position. The tactile feedback may be perceived by the user as increased resistance when unscrewing the plug structure 1650 from the adapter 1604. In order to fully remove the plug structure 1650 from the adapter 1604, the user continues to unscrew the plug structure 1650 which may cause the elongated tabs 1660 to deform allowing them to move above the projection 1630 at which point the plug structure 1650 may be fully unscrewed from the adapter 1604.
The plug structure 1650 with the plug gaskets 1680 and 1682 installed is shown in
Similar to the embodiment of the opening adapter assembly 1600 described above, the plug structure 1750 may be received into the opening adapter 1704, where the external threads 1756 of the plug structure 1750 may engage the internal threads 1728 of the opening adapter 1704 such that as the plug structure 1750 is rotated, the plug structure 1750 moves in a vertical direction to open and close the adapter assembly 1700. When the plug structure 1750 is engaged with the opening adapter 1704, the opening adapter assembly 1700 may be in a closed orientation such that liquid does not flow from the container as shown in
The plug structure 1750 may include a top/handle portion 1752 and a substantially cylindrical lower portion 1754, where a lower portion 1754 may include an external threaded portion 1756 that may removably couple with the internally threaded portion 1728 of the spout adapter 1704 when the plug structure 1750 is received within the opening 1720. The plug structure 1750 may also include an upper plug gasket 1780 and a lower plug gasket 1782 to seal against the opening adapter 1704. In addition, the plug structure 1750 may include a plurality of elongated tabs 1760 that frictionally engage a projection 1730 extending from the interior surface 1726 when the plug structure 1750 is rotated within the adapter 1704 to move the adapter assembly 1700 to an open orientation. As the elongated tabs 1760 contact the projection 1730, the user may feel increased resistance. When the plug structure 1750 is moved into the optimal pouring position, the elongated tabs 1760 may move into a plurality of pockets 1732 arranged along the projection 1730, which may give the user a tactile feeling of the elongated tabs 1760 falling into the pockets 1732 and also audible feedback to let the user know the opening adapter assembly 1700 is in an optimal pouring position.
The plug structure 1750 with the gaskets 1780 and 1782 installed is shown in
The lower portion 1754 of the plug structure 1750 may include an upper cylindrical portion 1762 and a lower cylindrical portion 1764 with a groove 1766 positioned between the upper cylindrical portion 1762 and the lower cylindrical portion 1764, where the lower plug gasket 1782 is arranged within the groove 1766. The plurality of elongated tabs 1760 may protrude from the cylindrical lower portion 1764. Each elongated tab 1760 may have tapered ends and a thicker center region. Additionally, each of the plurality of elongated tabs 1760 may have an outboard surface 1768 that may engage the projection 1730 of the spout adapter 1704 when the plug structure 1750 is in an open orientation. Each of the plurality of elongated tabs 1760 may be substantially parallel with each thread of the threaded portion and also may be centered along the length of each of the interrupted threaded portions 1756A. In addition, a plurality of elongated aperture 1770 may be arranged adjacent each elongated tab 1760, such that an elongated aperture 1770 is above each elongated tab 1760 and an elongated aperture 1770 is below each elongated tab 1760. The apertures 1770 may have a length that equal to or longer than the length of the elongated tabs 1760. The apertures 1770 help to adjust the localized stiffness around the elongated tab 1760 to allow for the elongated tab 1760 to deform as it engages the projection 1730 of the adapter 1704. As depicted, the plug structure 1750 may include three elongated tabs 1760 equally spaced around a circumference of lower cylindrical portion 1764. However, it is contemplated that any number of elongated tabs 1760 may be utilized, without departing from the scope of these disclosures.
It is contemplated that the structures of the opening adapter assembly 1100 may be constructed from any materials. For example, one or more of the described elements may be constructed from one or more polymers, metals, alloys, composites, ceramics or woods, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. In particular, the opening adapter assembly 1100 may utilize one or more of steel, titanium, iron, nickel, cobalt, high impact polystyrene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, nylon, polyvinylchloride, polyethylene, and/or polypropylene, among others. It is further contemplated that any manufacturing methodologies may be utilized to construct the described elements of the opening adapter assembly 1100, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. In certain examples, injection molding, blow molding, casting, rotational molding, compression molding, gas assist molding, thermoforming, or foam molding, welding (e.g. spin welding), gluing, or use of fasteners (e.g. rivets, staples, screws etc.) among others, may be utilized, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. Additionally, it is contemplated that the depicted and described elements of the opening adapter assembly 1100 may be constructed with any dimensional values, without departing from the scope of these disclosures. As such, for example, the described threads (e.g. of threaded outer surface 1302, 1618, internal threaded surface 1218, 1628, 1728, external top threaded surface 1220, and/or external bottom threaded surfaces 1222, 1656, 1756) may be constructed with any thread geometries, without departing from the scope of these disclosures.
In one example, an insulating container formed of a material can include a canister that has a first inner wall that has a first end with a threaded sidewall and an opening extending into an internal reservoir for receiving liquid, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell of the canister. The second outer wall can include a second end configured to support the canister on a surface. The canister can also include a sealed vacuum cavity forming an insulated double wall structure between the first inner wall and the second outer wall. The insulating container can also include a spout adapter having a spout channel extending through a height of the spout adapter between a bottom surface and a spout opening on a top surface of the spout adapter. The spout opening is sealed with a cap having a magnetic top surface configured to magnetically couple to a docking surface on a grip ring extending around a circumference of the spout adapter between a top threaded surface and a bottom threaded surface. The bottom threaded surface configured to resealably seal the spout adapter to the opening of the canister, and the top threaded surface configured to removably couple the spout adapter to a lid.
In another example, an insulating container may include a canister that has a first inner wall having a first end having a threaded sidewall and an opening extending into an internal reservoir for receiving liquid, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell of the canister. The second outer wall can include a second end configured to support the canister on a surface. The canister can also include a sealed vacuum cavity forming an insulated double wall structure between the first inner wall and the second outer wall. The insulating container can also include an opening adapter that has an external bottom threaded surface to removably couple to and seal the opening of the canister. The opening adapter may also have an internal threaded surface, an external top threaded surface, and a grip ring positioned between the external top threaded surface and the external bottom threaded surface. The insulating container may also include a plug structure that has a substantially cylindrical top portion and a substantially cylindrical bottom portion. The plug structure may also include a threaded outer surface that is configured to removably couple to the internal threaded surface of the opening adapter. The plug structure may also have a handle that is rigidly coupled to a top portion, and a retention tab that is rigidly/flexibly coupled to a bottom portion of the plug structure. Further, an external channel may extend between a channel top edge and a channel bottom edge of the plug structure. Additionally, the insulating container may include a lid that is configured to be removably coupled to the external top threaded surface of the opening adapter.
Still other examples may disclose an opening adapter assembly comprising an opening adapter, comprising: a grip ring having an upper surface, a lower surface opposite the upper surface, and a side surface extending from the upper surface to the lower surface; an upper substantially cylindrical member extending from the upper surface, where the upper cylindrical member includes an upper external threaded portion; and a lower substantially cylindrical member extending from the lower surface, where the lower cylindrical member includes a lower externally threaded portion. The open adapter may further include an opening extending from a top surface of the upper substantially cylindrical member through a bottom surface of the lower substantially cylindrical member forming an interior surface, wherein the interior surface includes an internally threaded portion. The open adapter assembly may further include a plug structure having a handle portion, a substantially cylindrical lower portion, where a plurality of elongated tabs extend from the substantially cylindrical lower portion. The plug structure may be partially received within the opening adapter and movable from an open orientation to a closed orientation. Each elongated tab of the plurality of elongated tabs may have an outboard surface that frictionally engages a projection extending from the interior surface of the opening adapter when the plug structure is in the open orientation to provide tactile feedback to a user that the opening adapter assembly is in an optimal pouring position. The plug structure may further comprise an externally threaded portion along the substantially cylindrical lower portion that engages the internally threaded portion on the interior surface of the opening adapter. When the opening adapter assembly is in the open orientation, at least one of the plurality of the elongated tabs may frictionally engage a projection extending from the interior surface of the opening adapter. The elongated tabs may have a base extending from the cylindrical lower portion and an end portion opposite where the base extends from the cylindrical lower portion, where the base has a thickness that is less than a maximum thickness of the end portion. In addition, each elongated tab of the plurality of elongated tabs may extend at an acute angle from the cylindrical lower portion. The plurality of elongated tabs may comprise three elongated tabs.
In some embodiments, the opening adapter may releasably attach to a container body, where a lower gasket and an upper gasket positioned on the opening adapter engage with the container body to seal an opening of the container body. The plug structure may further includes a lower gasket positioned between an externally threaded portion and the plurality of elongated tabs. As another option, a threaded portion of the plug structure may comprise a plurality of interrupted threaded portions, and wherein at least one of the elongated tabs are centered along one of the interrupted threaded portions. The opening adapter assembly may also include a lid that releasably engages with the upper cylindrical member.
Further embodiments may relate to an opening adapter assembly comprising an opening adapter, comprising: a shelf member having an upper substantially cylindrical member extending upward from the shelf member, and a lower substantially cylindrical member extending downward from the shelf member, where the lower substantially cylindrical member includes an external threaded portion. The opening adapter may further include an opening through a top surface of the upper substantially cylindrical member through a bottom surface of the lower substantially cylindrical member forming an interior surface, where the interior surface includes an internally threaded portion. The opening adapter assembly may also include a plug structure having a handle portion, a substantially cylindrical lower portion, where a plurality of elongated tabs extend from the substantially cylindrical lower portion. The plug structure may be received within the opening adapter and is movable from an open orientation to a closed orientation. Each of the plurality of elongated tabs may have an outboard surface that frictionally engages a projection extending from the interior surface of the opening adapter when the plug structure is in the open orientation. The projection on the opening adapter may include a plurality of pockets.
Further examples relate to a plug structure that include a plurality of threaded portions, where at least one of the plurality of elongated tabs are centered along one of the plurality of interrupted threaded portions. Each elongated tab of the plurality of elongated tabs may be oriented substantially parallel to each thread of an externally threaded portion on the substantially cylindrical lower portion. Furthermore, an aperture may be arranged adjacent to each elongated tab of the plurality of elongated tabs, or additionally a first aperture may be arranged adjacent and above a first elongated tab of the plurality of elongated tabs, and a second aperture is arranged adjacent and below the first elongated tab of the plurality of elongated tabs. When in the open orientation, each elongated tab is located within a corresponding pocket arranged along a projection on the interior surface of the opening adapter.
