Container and method of forming a container
An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a canister having a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a spout adapter, the spout adapter having an internal passageway extending between the internal reservoir and a spout opening, which may be smaller than the opening of the canister. The spout opening may be sealed with an upper cap that has a magnetic top surface. The upper cap may be selectively coupled to seal the spout opening, or may be magnetically coupled to a magnetic docking surface of a docking structure on the spout adapter.
1. An insulating container comprising:
a canister, further comprising:
a first inner wall having a first end with a threaded sidewall and an opening extending into an internal reservoir for receiving liquid; and
a second outer wall forming an outer shell of the canister, the second outer wall having a second end configured to support the canister on a surface;
a lower cap structure, further comprising:
a lower threaded sidewall configured to removably couple to and seal the opening of the canister;
a top surface extending between the lower threaded sidewall and a spout; and
a docking structure, protruding from the top surface and having a magnetic docking surface, wherein the docking structure further comprises a top surface that slopes between the spout and the magnetic docking surface; and
an upper cap, further comprising:
a pullout gasket, configured to be removably coupled within the upper cap, further comprising a gasket grip structure extending across a diameter of the pullout gasket, the pullout gasket further comprising:
an outer ring structure having a sealing surface configured to abut the spout, and
an inner ring structure coupled to and concentric with the outer ring structure, the inner ring structure forming a sidewall that extends below the sealing surface.
2. The insulating container of claim 1 , wherein the gasket grip structure is coupled to the inner ring structure and extends across a diameter of the inner ring structure.
3. The insulating container of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic docking surface is substantially parallel to a central axis of the lower cap structure.
4. The insulating container of claim 1 , further comprising:
a lower gasket extending around a first end of the lower threaded sidewall, wherein the lower gasket includes a vent; and
an upper gasket extending around a second end of the lower threaded sidewall.
5. The insulating container of claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the docking structure is spaced apart from the top surface of the lower cap structure.
6. The insulating container of claim 1 , further comprising a collar surface spaced between the spout and the top surface of the lower cap structure, wherein the collar surface extends around a circumference of the spout.
7. The insulating container of claim 6 , wherein the docking structure tapers from a first width at an intersection of the docking structure with the collar surface, to a second width, less than the first width, at the magnetic docking surface.
8. The insulating container of claim 1 , wherein the docking structure encapsulates a magnetic plate.
9. The insulating container of claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the lower cap structure has a geometry that slopes between the spout and a filleted outer edge of the top surface.
10. A spout adapter, comprising:
a lower cap structure, further comprising:
a lower threaded sidewall configured to removably couple to and seal an opening of a canister;
a top surface extending between the lower threaded sidewall and a spout; and
a docking structure, protruding from the top surface and having a magnetic docking surface, wherein the docking structure further comprises a top surface that slopes between the spout and the magnetic docking surface; and
an upper cap, further comprising:
a pullout gasket, configured to be removably coupled within the upper cap, further comprising a gasket grip structure extending across a diameter of the pullout gasket, the pullout gasket further comprising:
an outer ring structure having a sealing surface configured to abut the spout, and
an inner ring structure coupled to and concentric with the outer ring structure, the inner ring structure forming a sidewall that extends below the sealing surface.
11. The spout adapter of claim 10 , wherein the gasket grip structure is coupled to the inner ring structure and extends across a diameter of the inner ring structure.
12. The spout adapter of claim 10 , wherein the magnetic docking surface is substantially parallel to a central axis of the lower cap structure.
13. The spout adapter of claim 10 , further comprising:
a lower gasket extending around a first end of the lower threaded sidewall, wherein the lower gasket includes a vent; and
an upper gasket extending around a second end of the lower threaded sidewall.
14. The spout adapter of claim 10 , wherein the top surface of the docking structure is spaced apart from the top surface of the lower cap structure.
15. The spout adapter of claim 10 , further comprising a collar surface spaced between the spout and the top surface of the lower cap structure, wherein the collar surface extends around a circumference of the spout.
16. The spout adapter of claim 15 , wherein the docking structure tapers from a first width at an intersection of the docking structure with the collar surface, to a second width, less than the first width, at the magnetic docking surface.
17. The spout adapter of claim 10 , wherein the docking structure encapsulates a magnetic plate.
18. The spout adapter of claim 10 , wherein the top surface of the lower cap structure has a geometry that slopes between the spout and a filleted outer edge of the top surface.
