  • Patent number: 4789073
    Abstract: An improved construction for an insulated beverage container having a sealed display chamber for the enclosed display of indicia such as advertising or small objects which avoids the need for gluing or sonic welding of the components thereof to achieve a moisture-tight seal therebetween sufficient to withstand the temperature and pressures encountered in automatic dishwashers. In the preferred embodiment the moisture-tight seal is achieved by creating a snap-tight fit between the liner and shell of the container so as to provide a barrier to the migration of moisture into the display chamber.
