Publication number: 20140312077Abstract: Provided is a plug assembly for a beverage container, exhibiting a favorable pourability without hindering a compactness. The assembly includes: an outer plug fitted into an upper opening of a container body and having an outflow passage therein; and an inner plug fitted into an upper opening section of the outer plug. Provided on the inner circumferential surface of the outer plug is a female screw having a thread continuous in the radial direction and used to attach the inner plug. Provided on the outer circumferential surface of the inner plug is a male screw corresponding to the female screw. Flow passages are formed by vertically cutting out at least a part of the male screw, and provided on the upper regions of the flow passages are control walls linearly slanting upward and outward. A stable screwed state can be consistently maintained regardless of the locations of the flow passages.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicants: Thermos K.K, Thermos LLCInventors: Tomohiko Tajima, Shin Matsuyama

Patent number: 8844742Abstract: A drinking mouth portion pointing upward is provided on a plug body of a container main body having a sealed structure. A down-pointing beverage cylindrical member is built into the container main body and has a front edge side thereof communicated with the drinking mouth portion. Provided inside a fluid passage of the beverage cylindrical member is a valve movable in accordance with a pressure difference therein. The valve is not manually opened and closed, but reacts to a suction force in the fluid passage. An up-pointing cut-out section is provided on a lower edge of the beverage cylindrical member, thus allowing one to drink up a content fluid remaining in an inner bottom section. Therefore, a relatively small number of additional parts are needed to address the spewing of a content fluid and the occurrence of a residual liquid at the time of opening the drinking mouth portion.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2013Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignees: Thermos K.K., Thermos L.L.C.Inventors: Mamoru Fujita, Shin Matsuyama

Publication number: 20140263441Abstract: Provided is a portion container compression system capable of preventing a portion container from being misaligned, and being used without contaminating surrounding items even when misalignment occurs. A content can be pushed out by squeezing the portion container installed in a receiving portion of a system main body, and formed on the front region of the portion container is an easily unsealable portion. The portion container is formed into an asymmetric shape in the front-back direction, and the receiving portion has a misalignment-prevention portion allowing the front region of the portion container to be aligned to the receiving portion, but preventing the back region thereof from being aligned to the receiving portion. The misalignment-prevention portion prevents the ejection from a misaligned portion container. Since there cannot be achieved the effects as those when the portion container is correctly installed, a user may notice the misalignment of the portion container.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Thermos K.K.Inventors: Takahiro Maruyama, Shin Matsuyama, Hiroki Yokoyama

Publication number: 20140261003Abstract: Provided is a portion container system having improved operability and user-friendliness. The system includes a receiving portion, for stowing a container on a system main body, and a rotatable handle. The container includes a peeling induction portion. The container, stowed in the receiving portion, is allowed to be compressed by swinging a handle. The container can be squeezed with the handle using the leverage, thus improving a convenience and allowing the system to be formed compact compared to a rotary apparatus. Since the container is obliquely placed in the receiving portion, the content ejected hardly splashes. Since the receiving portion is located below the rotation center shaft of the handle, the container is pressed with the handle having the rotation center shaft located above the receiving portion, thereby causing the container to be pressed with the force pushing down the handle, thus allowing for easy application of force.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Thermos K.K.Inventors: Takahiro Maruyama, Shin Matsuyama
