International Classification:

B65D 3/22
B65D 21/04

US Classification:

229403, 206515, 206519, 22910311

Abstract:

The present invention generally provides an insulating vessel for beverages. The vessel has an outsert and a insert. The insert is positioned within the cavity of the outsert. In one embodiment the insert has a plurality of insulating members that are spaced from an inner surface of the outsert to define a series of air gaps between an outer surface of the insulating members and the inner surface of the outsert. In another embodiment, the insert and outsert have generally conical side walls with substantially the same taper angle so as to be in a friction lock relationship with one another.

International Classification:

US Classification:

493/104000

Abstract:

Systems and methods for making a paperboard container include a sidewall blank heater assembly having upper and lower sidewall blank heaters for simultaneously heating upper and lower edge strips of the sidewall blank adjacent lateral edges thereof, and a bottom sidewall seam heater for heating a generally curved strip adjacent an arcuate bottom edge of the sidewall blank simultaneously with the upper and lower edge strips. The sidewall blank is thereafter curved about a forming mandrel at a container-forming station so as to overlap the heated upper and lower edge strips of the sidewall blank to form a longitudinal container side seam, while the bottom edge of the sidewall blank is brought into contact with a paperboard bottom wall blank to form an annular container bottom seam. A bottom seam heater assembly is most preferably provided for circumferentially heating the container bottom seam simultaneously while the sidewall blank is curved about the forming mandrel at the container-forming station. In such a manner, high quality, leak proof seams of the paperboard container ensue.
