  • Patent number: 4573613
    Abstract: Containers, particularly insulated containers are disclosed consisting essentially of a container body filled with a pump mechanism and featuring a flexible bell shaped member, immersed in liquid and equipped with disc valve. This bell shaped member is compressed whenever the actuating button is pressed, thereby forcing the liquid contents of the container to flow out through the pipe up to the pouring spout. A flexible tube is automatically squeezed shut when the bottom returns to its uppermost position.

  • Patent number: 4489840
    Abstract: An isothermal container with a cup-shaped top is disclosed which has an outer body (3), closed at its bottom part, and an inner container body (6) with the same general shape as the outer body (3), the upper edge (4) of the outer body is turned inwardly and fits into an annular groove (5) in the inner body. A thermal insulation of the plastic-foam type (13), fills the space between the two bodies. An annular ridge (23) is formed on the upper part of the inner body and is surrounded by a tapered surface (7) with a slight outward and downward slant, the external edge of which extends into a downwardly inverted tapered surface, slanted inwardly, and meeting a horizontal annular surface projecting outwardly to form a recess (10) therebetween. A depending casing portion (8) of this annular member is fitted with an external thread (9) and an annular groove (5) adjacent its bottom edge, which mates with a corresponding portion of the outside container wall.

  • Patent number: 4440328
    Abstract: An improved isothermal jug-like container is shown which is well adapted to the coupling of a pouring pump. The pump is installed asymmetrically so that the pump spout, when in the pouring position, projects itself outwards. The entire pump is protected by the handle when the spout is in the "closed" position.

  • Patent number: 4429813
    Abstract: A mechanical device is described consisting essentially of an upper body and a flexible bell shaped member, immersed in liquid and equipped with disc valve, placed in a housing on the lower part of the bell shaped member, that is fitted in a rigid reinforcing ring. This bell shaped member compressed by the activating flange of the transferring pipe, whenever the actuating button is pressed, makes the liquid flow out through the pipe up to the pouring spout. When turning the outer cover of the upper body, the system is locked, sealing the pouring spout and may be unlocked when ready to use.
