Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a container having a base that includes an outer wall, an insulation layer, and an inner wall. The container further includes a movable lid connected to the base, and a plurality of spigots are coupled to a front wall of the base at a second end thereof. The second end is opposite the first end, the front wall is opposite a rear wall, and the front wall is connected to the rear wall by a pair of side walls. A plurality of flow channels are formed in the inner wall of the base, and the plurality of spigots are fluidly coupled to the plurality of flow channels.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 7 . (canceled) 
     
     
         8 . A container, comprising:
 a base including an outer wall, an insulation layer, and an inner wall;   a lid coupled to the base at a first end thereof,   a fill level component coupled to the outer wall;   a central aperture formed through the outer wall and the insulation layer; and   a central window disposed in the inner wall,   wherein the fill level component, the central aperture, and the central window are aligned with one another such that at least one of an internal volume of the container or contents therein is visible through the fill level component.   
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 8 , wherein the fill level component includes gradient lines disposed thereon corresponding to content levels of the internal volume of the container. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 8 , wherein the central window is integral with the inner wall. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 8 , wherein the fill level component includes a plurality of fastening tabs extending around a periphery thereof. 
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 11 , wherein the outer wall includes a plurality of fastening posts around a periphery of the central aperture. 
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of fastening tabs of the fill level component are secured in between the plurality of fastening posts to secure the fill level component to the outer wall of the base. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 8 , wherein the fill level component is translucent or transparent. 
     
     
         15 . The container of  claim 8 , wherein the central window is translucent or transparent. 
     
     
         16 . A container, comprising:
 a base including an outer wall, an insulation layer, and an inner wall;   a lid coupled to the base at a first end thereof;   a fill level component coupled to the outer wall;   a central aperture formed through the outer wall and the insulation layer;   a central window disposed in the inner wall;   a first spigot coupled to the outer wall of the base; and   a second spigot coupled to the outer wall of the base,   wherein the fill level component is laterally offset with respect to the first spigot and the second spigot.   
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 16 , wherein the fill level component is aligned with the central aperture and the central window such that at least one of an internal volume of the container or contents therein is visible through the fill level component. 
     
     
         18 . The container of  claim 16 , wherein the fill level component includes a slot that is configured to receive a label therein. 
     
     
         19 . The container of  claim 16  further comprising a first lid fastener and a second lid fastener, wherein the fill level component is disposed laterally between the first lid fastener and the second lid fastener. 
     
     
         20 . The container of  claim 19 , wherein the first spigot is horizontally aligned with the first lid fastener, and
 wherein the second spigot is horizontally aligned with the second lid fastener.   
     
     
         21 . The container of  claim 19 , wherein the first lid fastener includes a latch and a latch restrainer, and
 wherein the latch is secured at least partially within a latch housing defined by the lid.   
     
     
         22 . A container, comprising:
 a base including an outer wall, an insulation layer, an inner wall, a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a y-axis that extends between the first end and the second end;   a lid coupled to the base at the first end thereof;   a fill level component coupled to the outer wall;   a central aperture disposed within the outer wall and the insulation layer; and   a central window disposed in the inner wall,   wherein the fill level component is aligned with the central window such that at least one of an internal volume of the container or contents therein is visible through the fill level component, and   wherein the fill level component and the central window are each transparent or translucent.   
     
     
         23 . The container of  claim 22 , wherein the fill level component is coupled to a front wall of the outer wall of the base. 
     
     
         24 . The container of  claim 23 , wherein a bottom edge of the fill level component is disposed at the second end of the base. 
     
     
         25 . The container of  claim 22 , wherein the fill level component is secured within the central aperture, and
 wherein the central aperture is aligned with the fill level component and the central window.   
     
     
         26 . The container of  claim 22 , wherein the fill level component defines a height measured in a direction that is parallel with respect to the y-axis, and
 wherein the base defines a height measured in a direction that is parallel with respect to the y-axis.   
     
     
         27 . The container of  claim 26 , wherein the height of the fill level component is between about 75% and about 100% of the height of the base.
