Abstract

Beverage systems and kits and methods of using the same. A beverage system of the present disclosure includes a container configured to retain a beverage, the container having an outer wall and an internal threaded section above a non-threaded inner wall section; a threaded gasket having a threaded portion and an outer curved profile, the threaded portion configured to engage the internal threaded section of the container when coupled thereto; and a lid having an extension portion extending from a cover portion, the extension portion having a seal positioned thereon, the seal configured to engage the non-threaded inner wall section of the container when coupled thereto.

Claims (35)

1. An insulated beverage container retainment system, comprising:

a container that is vacuum-sealed and having an inner cylindrical wall extending away from a bottom wall and terminating at a container opening, the inner cylindrical wall having a first circumference and presenting a threaded section;

a gasket having a threaded element coupled to a curved element,

the threaded element having a cylindrical wall presenting a threaded portion and a flange,

the flange extending away from the cylindrical wall further than the threaded portion,

the threaded portion comprising a first material adapted to threadably engage the threaded section and removably couple the gasket to the vacuum-sealed container,

the curved element comprising a second material that extends from a relative top of the gasket to a relative side of the gasket, the second material being adapted to contact at least a portion of a beverage container when the beverage container is positioned within the vacuum-sealed container,

wherein the first material and the second material are different;

a removable beverage container size adapter that is receivable within the vacuum-sealed container, the removable beverage container size adapter comprising a metal material and having a circumferential wall and a bottom planar surface, the adapter configured to contact the container such that the bottom planar surface does not contact the container, wherein the circumferential wall has a second circumference smaller than the first circumference; and

a lid that is interchangeable with the gasket and having an aperture and an aperture cover adapted to selectively cover the aperture.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the inner cylindrical wall of the vacuum-sealed container comprises a metal material.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the relative top of the gasket presents a gasket opening having a third circumference smaller than the first circumference.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein at least a portion of the curved element is axially disposed around at least a portion of the threaded element.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the container is vacuum-sealed below the threaded section.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first material comprises a plastic material or a metal material, and the second material comprises a rubber material or a polymeric material.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the removable beverage size adapter is receivable within the vacuum-sealed container between the bottom wall of the vacuum-sealed container and the relative top of the gasket.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the removable beverage container size adapter is adapted to receive a bottom perimeter ring of the beverage container.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the removable beverage container size adapter includes a circumferential recessed portion adapted to receive the bottom perimeter ring of the beverage container.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein when the gasket is coupled to the vacuum-sealed container, the removable beverage container size adapter is received within the vacuum-sealed container, and the beverage container is a 12 oz. beverage can, the gasket is adapted to contact the beverage container and secure the beverage container within the vacuum-sealed container.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein when the gasket is coupled to the vacuum-sealed container, the removable beverage container size adapter is not received within the container, and the beverage container is a 16 oz. beverage can, the gasket is adapted to contact the beverage container and secure the beverage container within the vacuum-sealed container.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the threaded element comprises a plastic material or a metal material.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vacuum-sealed container further includes an outer wall that defines a grip portion thereon.

14. An insulated beverage container retainment system, comprising:

a container that is vacuum-sealed and having an inner cylindrical wall extending away from a bottom wall and terminating at a container opening, the inner cylindrical wall having a first circumference and presenting a threaded section, wherein the container is vacuum-sealed below the threaded section;

a gasket having a cylindrical body that includes a threaded element coupled to a curved element,

the curved element extending from a relative top of the gasket to a relative side of the gasket and being axially disposed around at least a portion of the threaded element,

the threaded element having a cylindrical wall presenting a threaded portion and a flange, the flange extending away from the cylindrical wall further than the threaded portion,

the threaded portion comprising a first material adapted to threadably engage the threaded section and removably couple the gasket to the vacuum-sealed container,

the curved element comprising a second material adapted to contact at least a portion of a beverage container when the beverage container is positioned within the vacuum-sealed container, wherein the second material is different from the first material;

a removable beverage container size adapter having at least one circumferential wall and a bottom planar surface, the removable beverage container size adapter comprising a metal material and being received between the bottom wall of the vacuum-sealed container and the relative top of the gasket, at or near a relative bottom of the vacuum-sealed container, wherein a first circumferential wall of the at least one circumferential wall has a second circumference smaller than the first circumference and the removable beverage container size adapter is configured to contact the container such that the bottom planer surface does not contact the container; and

a lid that is interchangeable with the gasket and having an aperture and an aperture cover adapted to selectively cover the aperture.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the removable beverage container size adapter further includes a circumferential recessed portion adapted to receive a bottom portion of the beverage container.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the inner cylindrical wall of the vacuum-sealed container comprises a metal material.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the second material comprises a rubber material or a polymeric material.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the first material comprises a plastic material or a metal material.
