Abstract: A container assembly includes a container body having a side wall encircling an axis, and a metal end for attachment to an upper edge of the side wall via heat-sealing. The outer peripheral region is shaped prior to application to the container body such that an annular channel is defined between an inner chuck wall and an outer chuck wall of the metal end. The metal end is pushed straight onto the side wall such that the upper edge of the side wall is received into the channel. The surfaces of the side wall and the opposing surfaces of the chuck walls have heat-sealable material thereon. The metal end is heated to melt and fuse the heat-sealable layers, thereby sealing the metal end onto the side wall. The metal end is shaped such that the free edge of the outer chuck wall is not exposed.

Abstract: An insulated container that includes a body and a lid assembly is described. The lid assembly may include a two-piece lid (e.g., two lids) connected with at least one linkage. The two lids may be operable to open in concert in response to a user asserting a single force applied on one of the lids. For example, the lid assembly may be configured such that the assertion of an opening force on one of the lids is transferred via the linkage to the other lid so that both lids open at a similar rate.

Abstract: A drawn aluminum can shell has a peripheral crown which is double-seamed with an end portion of an aluminum can body to provide a can end having a generally flat center panel connected by an inclined curved or straight panel wall to an inner wall of an annular U-shaped countersink. The countersink has an outer wall which connects with a lower wall portion of a chuck wall, and the chuck wall has an upper wall portion which connects with an inner wall of the crown. The chuck wall also has an intermediate wall portion forming a break, and the inner bottom width of the countersink is less than the radial width of the panel wall.

Abstract: An adjustable beverage insulator device, including: a side wall forming a substantially cylindrical vessel holding structure defining a slot along one side of the substantially cylindrical vessel holding structure, wherein the slot traverses the length of the substantially cylindrical vessel holding structure from a top portion to a bottom portion thereof; wherein a bottom portion of the substantially cylindrical vessel holding structure optionally includes one of a spring clamp and a constriction mechanism operable for biasing the substantially cylindrical vessel holding structure into a constricted configuration. The side wall includes one of a substantially rigid material and a substantially flexible material, and optionally an insulation material disposed one of on and adjacent to an interior or exterior surface thereof. Optionally, the slot is sized to accommodate the handle of a vessel selectively disposed within the substantially cylindrical vessel holding structure.

Abstract: A double walled glass container comprising an inner glass vessel for containing a liquid beverage is nested and hermetically sealed to an outer glass vessel, forming a unitary assembly with a co-extensive planar surface between inner and outer vessels. Said inner vessel is so constructed as to provide a gap between the two vessels wherein the interstitial space is an insulating air gap providing an insulating effect between the inner and outer vessels. The inner vessel also extends above the hermetic seal creating a single wall drinking rim. In addition, a customizable brand name or logo can be applied to the outer face of the inner vessel such that it is protected from the harsh environment of chemical cleaning and everyday use.
