Does anybody know if I can translate this literally by "thermal bottle" ?

Thank you.

thermos
Explanation:
In the US we say "thermos" without "bottle". It's a trademark that has become generic, like kleenex, xerox, etc.

Thermos bottle; thermal bottle


Explanation:
credo che nell'uso comune in America del nord si dice "Thermos bottle" (mi pare che Thermos sia il marchio di fabbrica); ho trovato un sito dove il termine "thermal bottle" viene usato in senso generale e piu astratto, per spiegarne la storia ed il funzionamento.
Saluti e buon lavoro a tutti
