Portable container comprising an inner cup to contain food or drink and an outer cup to be filled with heat exchange medium so as to keep food or drink contained in the inner cup warm or cool, or to be warmed or cooled when said cups are engaged with each other. Said inner cup is naturally made of a material having good thermal conductivity at least in the bottom and a part of the circumferential wall thereof, while the outer cup and the remainder part of the inner cup is preferably made of thermally insulating material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A portable container comprising; an inner cup having a thermally conductive bottom portion to contain food or drink therein, and an outer cup of thermally insulative material to be filled with a heat exchange medium, said two cups being adapted to be engaged with each other so that said bottom portion of said inner cup may be dipped in said exchange medium; said inner cup has external threads and said outer cup has internal threads so that said outer cup threadedly engaged with said inner cup to completely receive said inner cup therein may engage with the external threads of said thermos with a remainder portion of said internal threads, and the assembly of the engaged inner and outer cups are engaged with a thermos in the inverse position.
2.
A portable container as set forth in claim 1, in which said inner and outer cups are interlocked with each other so that said heat exchange medium is sealed tightly in between the two cups.
3.
A portable container as set forth in claim 1, in which said inner and outer cups are threadedly engageable so that the depth of said bottom portion dipping in said heat exchange medium may be adjusted depending on how far said inner cup is threaded into said outer cup.
4.
A portable container as set forth in claim 3, in which said outer cup is consist of transparent material, such as plastics, through which the adjustment of the dipping of said bottom portion of said inner cup into said heat exchange medium is visually controlled.
5.
A portable container as set forth in claim 3, in which the peripheral wall of said body portion of the inner cup is formed with an annular groove so that the upper peripheral wall of said bottom portion may be received in said groove for adjustingly raising or lowering said bottom portion relative to said body portion in the range of the height of said groove.
6.
A portable container as set forth in claim 1, in which said inner cup has internal and external threads around the peripheral wall thereof so as to threadedly engage with said outer cup having internal threads around the peripheral wall and threadedly engage with the external threads formed at the neck of said thermos
