IMPROVED BEVERAGE CONTAINER

摘要

A container including an outer shell (3), a flexible bag (5) within the outer shell (3), a mouth (7), and a handle (25). The outer shell (3) has a top, a bottom and sidewalls. The outer shell (3) also defines an opening (48). The flexible bag (5) within the outer shell (3) defines an aperture. The mouth (7) is sized and shaped such that fluid can be poured through the mouth (7) from a source having an outlet spaced above the mouth (7). The handle (25) extends outward from said top of said outer shell (3) and has sufficient strength to provide essentially all support for said container when the bag (5) is filled with liquid in either of two positions, with the first position being where the opening (48) is facing upwards and the second position being where opening (48) is facing sidewards. Desirably, the mouth (7) and opening (48) are sized and shaped such that when the opening (48) is facing upwards the human eye can detect when a level of fluid in the container is approaching the mouth (7).
