Insulating jug or bottle having a closing member carrying a sealing

Abstract

The invention relates to an insulating jug or bottle having a housing in which a recess is arranged on the upper side which recess may be closed by means of a lid, having an opening therein, positioned in the region of the recess and which is to be closed and opened by means of a closing member carrying a sealing member, which closing member is mounted in the lid so that it may be adjusted between an opened and closed position by means of an adjusting mechanism, more particularly a worn gear or the like, having a hand grip, which mechanism acts inflexibly in the direction of the closed position, whereby movement of the hand grip is restricted in the closed position and the lid is fixed on the housing in the direction of movement of adjustment of the closing member. The object of the invention is to develop the insulating jug or bottle in such a way that when avoiding overloading of the sealing member, even when there are distance tolerances between the lid and the opening, tight closure of the opening is guaranteed. This is achieved by arranging an elastic connection (15) between the sealing member (14) and the closing slide (16), permitting relative movement between the closing member (16) and the sealing member (14) in a longitudinal direction in respect of the movement of adjustment, in which case the sealing member (14) is prestressed in the closed position towards the sealing surface (34) of the opening (9).
