A vacuum bottle construction as disclosed in which the vacuum filter is formed from a pair of concentric thin wall metal cylinders. The cylinders are formed of a thin metallic material, such as mild steel, which in and of itself is so thin as to be unable to withstand the pressure differential of atmospheric pressure on one side and a substantial vacuum on the other side. To prevent collapse of the outer thin wall cylinder due to this pressure differential means are provided in the space between the cylinders bearing against the outer wall to provide a force opposing that of the pressure differential.

In a vacuum insulated container having sides, the bottom and open top constituted by an outer shell and an inner shell spaced from each other, joined at their tops to form the open top and with the space therebetween being substantially evacuated, and wherein said inner and outer shells are formed of a thin metallic material, said outer shell being so thin as to be collapsible inwardly under external ambient air pressure after said space has been evacuated, the improvement comprising: means in the evacuated space and in contact solely with the inner surface of said outer shell to strengthen at least the central vertical portion of said outer shell and to thereby prevent its collapse inwardly under external air pressure.
