Beverage container

Abstract

A beverage container or flask that includes a removable panel. The removable panel is configured to include fasteners that allow a user to selectively lock the panel in place and to remove it from the remainder of the flask. When the removable panel is locked in place on the remainder of the flask, the panel provides a leak proof seal such that a liquid may be contained in the flask without escaping. When the removable panel is detached from the remainder of the flask, access to an interior volume or compartment of the flask is provided, which facilitates simplified and more effective cleaning of the flask.

1 . A beverage container, comprising:
 a body portion having one or more panels that form an interior volume configured for receiving a liquid therein, the body portion comprising a first opening configured for allowing removal of a liquid stored within the interior volume, the body portion further comprising a second opening having a size larger than the first opening; and   a removable panel configured for selective attachment to the body portion at a position that covers the second opening of the body portion, thereby providing a leak proof seal between the body portion and the removable panel.   
     
     
         2 . The beverage container of  claim 1 , wherein the body portion comprises a panel engagement portion, and the removable panel further comprises a lock portion configured to engage with panel engagement portion to removably fasten the removable panel to the body portion. 
     
     
         3 . The beverage container of  claim 1 , wherein the beverage container includes a front panel, a back panel, and two opposing side panels, wherein one of the side panels comprises the removable panel. 
     
     
         4 . The beverage container, comprising:
 a body having a first portion that forms a first compartment, a second portion that forms a second compartment, and a divider portion that separates the first compartment from the second compartment, the first compartment being configured for receiving a liquid therein and having a first opening configured for allowing removal of a liquid stored within the first compartment, and a second opening having a size larger than the first opening, the second compartment having an opening therein;   a first removable panel configured for selective attachment to the first portion at a position that sealably covers the second opening of the first compartment, thereby providing a leak proof seal between the first portion and the removable panel; and   a second removable panel configured for selective attachment to the second portion at a position that covers the opening of the second compartment.
