ABSTRACT:
A thermally insulated, spill-resistant bevarage container and dispenser having a resealable threaded lid at the top end thereof, and an internal straw receiver and drinking spout. The annular sidewall and bottom end of the container are comprised of an interior and exterior layer of liquid impervious thermoplastic, housing therebetween a single layer of lightweight thermal insulation material. The insulation material maintains the temperature of the contained beverage, whether hot or cold, for an extended period of time. The straw receiver is comprised of a tubular passageway extending from the top of the cup downward outside the thermal insulation of the sidewall to open into the bottom interior of the beverage containment chamber of the container. The non-insulated straw receiver allows hot beverages to cool slightly before being drank. Affixed to the top of the container and aligned over the straw receiver is a tubular extension structured to serve as a drinking spout. Both the straw receiver and aligned drinking spout are sized and shaped for receiving a conventional disposable straw, used to extend the length of the drinking spout when desired. The drinking spout is affixed with a removable tethered cap to allow sealing when desired. The top outer edge of the container is affixed with two oppositely disposed tab handles to which are attached an elongated carrying strap.
