Insulating sleeve

Abstract

An insulating sleeve for a beverage container is disclosed. The insulating sleeve for a beverage container includes a first flexible cloth layer, having a first side and a second side defined by a first straight edge, a second straight edge opposite the first straight edge, a first curved edge, and a second curved edge opposite the first curved edge, the first and second straight edges being generally perpendicular to the first and second curved edges. It further includes a second flexible cloth layer, having a first side and a second side defined by a first straight edge, a second straight edge opposite the first straight edge, a first curved edge, and a second curved edge opposite the first curved edge, the first and second straight edges being generally perpendicular to the first and second curved edges, wherein the first straight edge, second straight edge, first curved edge, and second curved edge of the second flexible layer are attached to the first straight edge, second straight edge, first curved edge, and second curved edge of the first flexible portion, respectively, a third flexible foam rubber layer disposed between the first flexible layer and the second flexible layer, a first fastener disposed upon the first side of the first flexible layer proximate to the second straight edge, and a second fastener disposed upon the second side of the second flexible layer proximate to the first straight edge of the second flexible layer.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is directed to insulating devices, and in particular to an insulating sleeve for keeping a beverage cold, or alternatively, hot, and preventing sunlight from spoiling the beverage. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The enjoyment of a beverage depends in many cases on whether or not the beverage can be kept at a temperature at which the beverage is meant to be enjoyed. That is, once a hot beverage becomes cold, or, conversely, a cold beverage becomes hot, the beverage is no longer enjoyed as much as it would have been if it remained at its intended temperature. Furthermore, it can be difficult to hold either a very cold beverage or a very hot beverage. Another particular issue with a beverage such as beer, when stored in a clear glass container such as a pint glass, is that exposure to sunlight can cause photodegradation, ruining its taste. It is useful, therefore, to have a way to insulate a beverage container so as to keep the be...
