Abstract:
1. A method of fabricating an insulated container, comprising the steps of: a) forming a generally frusto-conical shell; b) providing a bonding material on an inside of said shell and/or on an outside of a generally frusto-conical cup; c) inserting said cup into said shell until the inside of the shell or the outside of the cup wall seats against the bonding material along a contact path, and d) pressing the shell and the cup wall together in a substantially radial direction at a plurality of bonding spots to form a plurality of bonding spots in less than an entirety of the contact path, wherein said bonding spots are separated from each other by unbonded areas along said contact path and the sections of the shell that are not bound to the cup are spaced apart from the cup wall.
