Flask assembly

Abstract

There is a flask assembly comprising a container body having a void therein for containing a fluid. A canopy is removably coupled to a top portion of the container body. A handle cap is removably coupled to a bottom portion of the container body, through which the void is accessible. A channel is disposed along a length of the container body. A body runner is disposed substantially around a diameter of the container body between the canopy and the handle cap, and slidably coupled to the channel. A plurality of stretchers are hingedly coupled to the body runner and extending outwardly therefrom. A plurality of ribs are coupled to the stretchers at an end opposite the runner and extending outwardly therefrom and coupled to the canopy such that when the stretchers are in a deployed mode the canopy is held open by the ribs.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A flask assembly, comprising:
 a. a container body having a void therein for containing a fluid;   b. a canopy, removably coupled to a top portion of the container body;   c. a handle cap, removably coupled to a bottom portion of the container body, through which the void is accessible;   d. a channel, disposed along a length of the container body;   e. a body runner, disposed substantially around a diameter of the container body between the canopy and the handle cap, and slidably coupled to the channel;   f. a plurality of stretchers hingedly coupled to the body runner and extending outwardly therefrom; and   g. a plurality of ribs coupled to the stretchers at an end opposite the runner and extending outwardly therefrom and coupled to the canopy such that when the stretchers are in a deployed mode the canopy is held open by the ribs.   
     
     
         2 . The flask assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the container body includes a plurality of container body protrusions disposed along a length of the container body. 
     
     
         3 . The flask assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom portion of the container body includes threading. 
     
     
         4 . The flask assembly of  claim 1 , the top portion of the container body includes threading. 
     
     
         5 . The flask assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the handle cap includes threading. 
     
     
         6 . The flask assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising an end cap coupled to a center portion of the canopy and removably coupled to the container body. 
     
     
         7 . The flask assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the end cap includes threading. 
     
     
         8 . The flask assembly of  claim 7 , further comprising a top coupling mechanism removably coupled to the top portion of the container body, removably coupled to the end cap, and disposed therebetween. 
     
     
         9 . The flask assembly of  claim 8 , wherein the top coupling mechanism includes threading. 
     
     
         10 . The flask assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the handle cap extends substantially along a length of the bottom portion of the container body. 
     
     
         11 . The flask assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the body runner includes a flange disposed along an interior of the body runner and extending inwardly therefrom, wherein the flange is disposed in the channel and slidably coupled to the channel. 
     
     
         12 . The flask assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a liner disposed substantially between the canopy and the container body. 
     
     
         13 . The flask assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the handle cap includes a loop coupled to the handle cap. 
     
     
         14 . The flask assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising an assembly case disposed substantially around the canopy and the container body. 
     
     
         15 . A flask assembly, comprising:
 a. a container body having a void therein for containing a fluid;   b. a canopy, removably coupled to a top portion of the container body;   c. a handle cap, removably coupled to a bottom portion of the container body, through which the void is accessible; and   d. an array of linear protrusions between the container body and the canopy, each protruding along a length of the container body and arrayed in parallel with each other about a perimeter of the container body.   
     
     
         16 . The flask assembly of  claim 15 , further comprising an end cap coupled to a center portion of the canopy and removably coupled to the container body. 
     
     
         17 . The flask assembly of  claim 16 , further comprising a top coupling mechanism removably coupled to the top portion of the container body, removably coupled to the end cap, and disposed therebetween. 
     
     
         18 . The flask assembly of  claim 15 , further comprising a liner disposed substantially between the canopy and the container body. 
     
     
         19 . The flask assembly of  claim 15 , further comprising an assembly case disposed substantially around the canopy and the container body. 
     
     
         20 . A flask assembly, comprising:
 a. a container body having a void therein for containing a fluid;   b. a canopy, removably coupled to a top portion of the container body;   c. a handle cap, removably coupled to a bottom portion of the container body, through which the void is accessible;   d. an array of linear protrusions between the container body and the canopy, each protruding along a length of the container body and arrayed in parallel with each other about a perimeter of the container body;   e. an end cap coupled to a center portion of the canopy and removably coupled to the container body;   f. a top coupling mechanism removably coupled to the top portion of the container body, removably coupled to the end cap, and disposed therebetween; and   g. an assembly case disposed substantially around the canopy and the container body.
