Abstract
A liquid container having a container body provided with an open top. A slot extends through the side wall of the container body, and a liner of liquid absorbing material surrounds the outer surface of the container body and covers the slot. A top cover is removably mounted on the container body in covering relationship to the open top thereof, the top cover having a liquid outlet which the liquid in the container can be removed therefrom. The top cover has a leg depending therefrom and movable into and out of closing relationship to the slot so that liquid from the container body can be adjustably allowed to pass through the slot from the container body and into contact with the inner surface of the liner. When the ambient air and the container move relative to each other, evaporative cooling occurs which causes the liquid in the container body to be cooled.
