The Nicholas Herling, Marc Heinke invention works as follows
Components as part of a container set are disclosed.” The components of the set can be interchangeably replaced so that different containers can be made. Sets may include an outer container with a first chamber, an inner cavity receivable into the first chamber and having a secondary cavity, a lid attachment removably attached to the outer cavity, an accessory, and a releasable mechanism for attaching the accessory to lid assembly in order to receive the accessory in the first compartment when the lid is attached to outer vessel.
Background for Container and Set for Making the Same
Containers used to store different types of liquids have long been known. Some of these containers are designed to hold beverages. The container can be opened to allow the person to drink the beverage. Some of these beverage containers can be used to store a cold drink or a beverage at the same temperature in the container as the surrounding environment. These containers can be used by athletes or anyone else who is engaged in exercise. A person may use a bottle of beverage during or after a physical activity. These containers are often made from materials like metals or hardplastics, which can withstand moderate impact forces.
Other container types are designed for a specific purpose, such as holding hot drinks. The material that comes into contact with the liquid should be inert even at high temperatures. In the construction of hot beverage containers, glass has been used because it is inert. Many consumers find it desirable to store beverages in glass bottles. Glass is fragile and prone to breaking when it is subjected to impact forces.
It is possible to build a container that can hold hot beverages and is relatively resistant to breakage. In some composite containers, for example, the glass inner vessel may be enclosed within a hard outer casing. The outer hard shell offers some protection to the inner glass vessel. These containers are able to hold both cold and hot beverages in the inner vessel. These containers, due to their construction are good at reducing the rate of loss of heat from hot drinks, and the rate of increase of cold drinks in relation to the ambient temperature. They may be susceptible to breaking, especially when they are used in environments where people are engaged in physical activities.
Also when designing containers to hold liquids, other design considerations may need to be considered. The challenge of providing a container that can be resealed and used more than once is one example. Containers that use materials that are safe for human/animal health may be equally important, especially in the case of beverage containers.
The improvement of known liquid containers is desired.
