Abstract: A thermally insulated bottle has a container body which includes an inner body capable of holding a liquid contents, an outer cup of semi-rigid semi-flexible construction surrounding and spaced radially outward of the inner body, and a barrier layer disposed between the inner body and the outer cup. The outer cup has a construction capable of providing a moisture barrier and sufficient to provide mechanical strength capable of supporting the inner body in an upright relation. The inner body can be a cup similar to the outer cup, or a flexible bladder. The barrier layer can be a reflective metallic foil layer, or a substrate having a metallic material defining a mirrored surface thereon capable of reflecting radiant electromagnetic energy back toward the source thereof so as to reduce the transfer of such radiant energy across the barrier layer. The insulated bottle also includes a closure cap which fits over and is releasably sealable with an open top of the container body.

Abstract: An adjustable retaining strap for eyeglasses includes an elongated tubular member formed of a flexible resilient material. End portions of the tubular member are reverse-fold to define end loops that are retained by end sleeves each having a passageway therethrough. An end plug member is matably received in the end portion of the tubular member and is sized to prevent withdrawal of each tube member from its respective retaining sleeve. A central portion of the tubular member between the end loops may be configured in a central loop received by a central sleeve. A central bead may be received on the bight of the central loop to prevent its withdrawal from the central sleeve.
