A Thermos.
A vacuum is maintained in a thermos flask in order to prevent heat transfer by conduction and convection. The absence of air molecules in the vacuum reduces the amount of heat that can be transferred through these processes, helping to keep the contents of the flask hot or cold for longer periods of time.
If you call it by its correct name "vacuum flask" the principle becomes clear. The flask consists of an inner and outer chamber, the space between the chambers is a vacuum. A vacuum cannot conduct heat, hence no losses between the two chambers.

Vacuum flask.
A Buchner flask is a flat-bottomed flask used in filtration setups with a sidearm to attach a vacuum source. A filter flask has a sidearm with an angled neck to connect to a vacuum pump for filtration. A side-arm flask typically has a single sidearm used for connecting to other glassware or apparatus.
Numerous stores sell vacuum flasks. One can purchase a vacuum flask at Walmart, Kmart, Sears, Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, Ace Hardware and many other places.
The proper name for a boiling flask is a round-bottom flask. These flasks are typically made of glass and have a spherical bottom to allow for even heating and boiling of liquids.

Also known as a Buchner or vacuum flask, the flask uses vacuum to filter samples. A vacuum hose is attached to the hose barb and the funnel is placed on top. As the hose creates a vacuum, the sample is filtered through the funnel.
There could be a crack or leakage that allows air to flow in or out of the flask. It may be time to replace the flask with a new one.
Scottish scientist Sir James Dewar invented the vacuum flask in 1892.
