Abstract: A container (3) having a pouring section (1) is outlined, the pouring channel (6) of which makes optimum pouring action possible. The pouring section (1) consists of a portion (8), which is formed on the container (3), having a section (10) of the pouring channel (6) facing the interior space (9) and a widened part (11), which borders thereon. An internal portion (12) having the other section (13) of the pouring channel (6), which portion may be inserted into the widened part (11) preferably in a liquid-tight manner. The internal portion (12) can be glued, welded or snapped into the widened part (11).

Abstract: The subject of the invention is an insulating jug having a protective housing in which there is arranged an insulating insert held between a housing top part and a housing bottom part, having a handle, an opening which is sealable by a lid and a pourer which passes radially out through a cut-out portion in the housing casing of the protective housing. The object of the invention is to stabilize the protective casing of the zones on both sides of the cut-out portion which are weakened by the cut-out portion for the pourer. This is achieved in that there are provided on both sides of the cut-out portion (17) on the facing surfaces (13, 21) of the protective casing (6) and of the housing top part (4) extensions or recesses (21, 22) which interlock with surfaces which extend transversely to the peripheral direction.

Abstract: An insulating jug 1 for storing liquids and comprising a protective housing 2, an inner receiving housing and a lid 3, closing the jug opening, is outlined.The insulating jug 1 is provided with hanging means 7, in the proximity of the opening in the housing 2, cover 3 or on a jug handle 4, to which the string of a tea bag or the like can be attached to enable infusion to be carried out in the jug and thereafter readily to enable removal of the used tea bag. The hanging means 7 is preferably formed in one piece with a base piece 9 and top piece 8. In the described embodiment, base piece 9 is inserted in a recess 6 and located therein by a locating device 14. The tea bag string is received in a slot 17 formed in the top piece 8 and held by an end piece of the string engaging the top piece at the slot outlet. Alternatively, the top piece may be undercut to retain the string.

Abstract: An insulated container is comprised of an outer shell including a base, a predominantly convex portion, and a predominantly non-convex portion, and an insulating insert positioned in the outer shell. The convex portion and the non-convex portion of the outer shell meet at a seam which is disposed substantially at a transition between convex and non-convex outer surface portions of the outer shell. The outer shell has a lower opening with a first diameter in which the base is removably secured. The insulating insert has a maximum diameter which is less than the first diameter so that the insulating insert is insertable into the outer shell through the lower opening prior to securing the base in the lower opening.

Abstract: A screw lid for an insulating container, which includes a sealing cup and a cover surrounding it, can be screwed onto a cap fixed to the cover. The screw lid is made of plastic and traps a plastic sealing ring against a sealing face on the container to close the container and form a seal. The lid includes a hollow cylindrical cooling body that, when the lid is in place, projects into the sealing cup through the opening sufficiently far to be immersed in the liquid in the sealing cup. The cooling body has a maximum cross-sectional dimension such that it can be accommodated by the cross-sectional dimension of the sealing-cup opening without contacting the sealing-cup opening. By filling the cooling body with a suitable coolant and refrigerating the cooling body prior to attaching the lid to the container, the liquid in the sealing cup will be brought to a low temperature and maintained at a low temperature longer.
