Embodiment Construction

[0017] refer to figure 1 and figure 2 An aspect of the disclosed insulated container, generally designated 10, may be formed as a double walled beverage cup, such as a 12 oz, 16 oz or 24 oz disposable drinking cup. Although the insulated container 10 is in figure 1 and figure 2 Illustrated as having a generally frusto-conical shape, those skilled in the art will appreciate that containers of various shapes and sizes may be constructed without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.

[0018] Insulated container 10 may include a base container 12 and an outer package 14 . Adhesive 16 may be positioned between base container 12 and overpack 14 to connect overpack 14 to base container 12 . Other techniques for securely securing the overpack 14 to the base container 12 are also contemplated, such as the use of mechanical fasteners, heat sealing, or an interference fit.

[0019] Thus, if figure 2 As shown in , the insulated container 10 may be formed as a layere...

Abstract

An insulated container is disclosed that includes: a base container having a side wall that defines an internal volume and an opening into the internal volume, and an overwrap positioned over the side wall. The overwrap includes bosses extending inward toward the base container, and the bosses are configured as indicia.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to containers, and more particularly, to insulated containers, such as insulated beverage cups. Background technique [0002] Beverage cups are widely used to hold beverages both hot and cold. Examples of hot beverages commonly served in beverage cups include coffee and tea. Examples of cold beverages commonly served in beverage glasses include soda and water, served with or without ice. [0003] Unfortunately, hot beverages cool rapidly once placed in a typical beverage cup. Cooling is contained with a tightly fitting lid. However, most cooling is usually effected by heat transfer from the hot beverage across the container wall and eventually to the surrounding atmosphere. [0004] Heat transfer across the walls of the beverage container has the opposite effect on cold beverages. Specifically, cold beverages heat / warm up over time, which can lead to ice melting and thus unintentional dilution of the beverage. Also, in hu...
