Abstract: A compact self-contained travel kit for brewing a beverage, such as tea, coffee, or the like, includes an open top container which is adapted to receive a small quantity of water to be heated by means of an electric heater element contained in the bottom of the container. A removable insert assembly is received within the container through the open top and provides upwardly open storage compartments for containing the ingredients for making tea or coffee, such as sugar, powdered cream material, coffee, tea or the like, which compartments are closable by lids so that either individual packets or bulk material may be stored. The insert includes a downwardly depending semi-conical portion which is proportioned and adapted to be telescopically received in the uppermost one of a pair of nested drinking cups storable within the container. The nested drinking cups are thus retained in place in a compact manner and are accessible by removal of the insert from the container.

Abstract: A thermos jar carrier and lunch tray, one unit functioning as two different units; when closed it is a thermos jar carrier; when open it is a ready made lunch tray. The carrier is formed from a box like structure. The four individual sides are hinged together to form the housing unit (or carrier). When the unit is closed the protruding lips; (extending outward from the lower and upper portion of each individual side forming the housing unit), prevent the thermos jar from escaping from the housing unit, thus acting as retainers, keeping the thermos jars in place within the housing unit.The housing unit when in its open position, the sides form into a lunch tray with individual compartments, whereby thermos jars, cup or cups, utensils and other miscellaneous items relating to the consumption of the food product can be placed in these individual compartments and use them with a degree of stability.
