Stackable storage container with insulating sleeve

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a stackable storage container with an insulating sleeve including a receptacle having a circumferential sidewall, a sleeve having a circumferential sidewall with a top edge and a bottom edge wherein an outer surface of the sleeve sidewall includes a shoulder subjacent the top edge, and wherein the receptacle sidewall and the sleeve sidewall define an insulating gap therebetween.

1 . A storage container comprising:
 a receptacle having a circumferential sidewall; and   a sleeve having a circumferential sidewall with a top edge and a bottom edge, an outer surface of said sidewall including a shoulder subjacent said top edge;   wherein said receptacle sidewall and said sleeve sidewall define an insulating gap therebetween.   
   
   
       2 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said receptacle further comprises a circular bottom portion. 
   
   
       3 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said receptacle sidewall further comprises a top edge having an outwardly projecting marginal flange. 
   
   
       4 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said receptacle sidewall further comprises a bottom edge having an outwardly projecting rounded step. 
   
   
       5 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said receptacle has a circular cross-section, and a first diameter of sidewall bottom edge is less than a second diameter of sidewall top edge. 
   
   
       6 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said sleeve top edge comprises an inturned roll. 
   
   
       7 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said sleeve bottom edge comprises an inturned roll. 
   
   
       8 . The container of  claim 1  wherein said sleeve sidewall further comprises a circumferential groove. 
   
   
       9 . A storage container comprising:
 a receptacle having a circumferential sidewall and a circular bottom portion, said receptacle sidewall including a top edge having an outwardly projecting marginal flange and further including a bottom edge having an outwardly projecting rounded step; and   a sleeve having a circumferential sidewall with a top edge and a bottom edge, an outer surface of said sidewall including a shoulder subjacent said top edge;   wherein said receptacle has a circular cross-section, and a first diameter of sidewall bottom edge is less than a second diameter of sidewall top edge;   wherein said sleeve top edge and bottom edge each include an inturned roll; and   wherein said receptacle sidewall and said sleeve sidewall define an insulating gap therebetween.   
   
   
       10 . A storage container comprising:
 a receptacle having a circumferential sidewall and a circular bottom portion, said receptacle sidewall including a top edge having an outwardly projecting marginal flange and further including a bottom edge having an outwardly projecting rounded step; and   a sleeve having a circumferential sidewall with a top edge and a bottom edge, an outer surface of said sidewall including a shoulder subjacent said top edge and a circumferential groove subjacent said shoulder;   wherein said receptacle has a circular cross-section, and a first diameter of sidewall bottom edge is less than a second diameter of sidewall top edge;   wherein said sleeve top edge and bottom edge each include an inturned roll; and   wherein said receptacle sidewall and said sleeve sidewall define an insulating gap therebetween.
