Abstract: An improved beverage container comprising a flexible bag capable of containing liquids disposed in a collapsible box is described. The box comprises a right side wall with a lower flap configured to form a portion of the box bottom and an upper flap configured to form a portion of a handle. The box also comprises a left side wall with a lower flap configured to form a portion of the box bottom and an upper flap configured to form a portion of a handle. The box further comprises a rear wall with a lower flap configured to form a portion of the box bottom and an upper flap having a portion configured to surround the handle, the upper flap further comprises a distal portion configured to surround a mouth attached to the flexible bag. The box also comprises a front wall with an opening for receiving a mouth of the flexible bag, the front wall also has a lower flap configured to form a portion of the box bottom.

Abstract: A container is disclosed, including an outer shell with an integral handle and two flexible bags within the outer shell. The outer shell has a top, a bottom and sidewalls. The outer shell also defines two openings on opposing walls. Each of the bags within the outer shell defines an aperture sealed to and surrounded by a mouth, which defines a fluid passageway from the interior of the corresponding mouth to the outside of the container. The mouth is sized and shaped such that fluid can be poured through the mouth from a source having an outlet spaced above the mouth. The handle extends outwardly from the top of the outer shell and has sufficient strength to provide essentially all support for the container when the bags are filled with liquid in either of two positions: in the first position, one of the openings is facing upwards; in the second position, each of the openings is facing sideward.

Abstract: A container including an outer shell, a flexible bag within the outer shell, a mouth and a handle. The outer shell has a top, a bottom and sidewalls. The outer shell also defines an opening. The flexible bag within the outer shell defines an aperture. The mouth is secured to said flexible bag surrounding said aperture and defines a fluid passageway. The mouth is sized and shaped such that fluid can be poured through the mouth from a source having an outlet spaced above the mouth. The handle extends outward from said top of said outer shell and has sufficient strength to provide essentially all support for said container when the bag is filled with liquid in either of two positions, with the first position being where the opening is facing upwards and the second position being where opening is facing sidewards. Desirably, the mouth and opening are sized and shaped such that when the opening is facing upwards the human eye can detect when a level of fluid in the container is approaching the mouth.
