He didn't. He used a Dewar or vacuum flask. It is used to keep things hotter or colder than the surrounding ambient temperature.

He failed to patent the idea and it was subsequently patented by Thermos.

Thermos is still a registered trade mark in many countries, though it has been declared generic in the US.

Who create a thermos?

This is from wikipedia:The vacuum flask was invented by Scottish physicist and chemist Sir James Dewar in 1892 and is sometimes referred to as a Dewar flask after its inventor. The first vacuum flasks for commercial use were made in 1904 when a German company, Thermos GmbH, was formed. Thermos, their trademark for their flasks, remains a registered trademark in some countries but was declared a genericized trademark in the U.S. in 1963 as it is colloquially synonymous with vacuum flasks in general.


How did people keep hot liquids hot in 1896 when traveling?

The first insulated bottle was likely designed by English scientist Sir James Dewar in 1896. In 1892 Dewar had invented a special flask still in use today and attributed to him by its name. Dewar created his insulated bottle by sealing one bottle inside another and pumping out the air between them. This created a vacuum, which is an effective insulator. Dewar never patented his invention, however. It was German glass-blower Reinhold Burger and his partner Albert Aschenbrenner, who made bottles for Dewar, who decided to market Dewar's invention. Burger and Aschenbrenner held a contest to name Dewar's device. A resident of Munich suggested the name thermos from the Greek word threm, which means hot. Along with Gustav von Paalen, Burger and Aschenbrenner formed a company to manufacture Dewar's invention and called it Thermos GmbH. Paalen, Burger, and Aschenbrenner did not register the now well-known Thermos name until 1906, the same year they met American businessman William B. Walker in Berlin. Walker learned of their invention and obtained exclusive manufacturing and marketing rights to it in the United States. The American Thermos Bottle Company was incorporated on January 31, 1907, in Portland, Maine, and set up production in Brooklyn, New York. The Thermos insulated bottle quickly gained popularity across the United States. Famous users include President Taft; explorers Lieutenant E.H. Shackelt, who took his to the South Pole and Lieutenant Robert E. Peary, who took his to the Arctic; Colonel Roosevelt on an expedition to Mombassa; Richard Harding Davis on a trip to the African Congo; Count Zeppelin, who took his up in his hot air balloon; and the Wright Brothers, who took theirs to the sky as well in the first airplane.
