Benefits of technology
"The present invention is an insulator for holding a beverage container. It includes a shell with insulating properties and a magnetic strip attached to the wall. The insulator can attach to a vertical surface using the magnetic strip. The beverage container is inserted through the opening in the insulator and held securely within it. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a convenient and secure way to hold beverage containers while maintaining their temperature."
Problems solved by technology
However, although there are some benefits to using a bottle, it is also often very cumbersome to carry.
However, since the bottle is located on the floor, the bottle can easily fall over, spilling the fluid contents on the floor.
However, carriage of the bottle in such a fashion has its problems.
Removing and inserting the bottle in the carriage unit can be tedious and difficult.
Although Rains does disclose the use of a magnet, Rains does not teach or suggest an insulating device having magnetized strips.
Rains suffers from the disadvantage of embedding the magnet within a container.
Thus, the user is limited to only one specific container to use in affixing the container to a surface.
However, McBride does not teach or suggest an insulator having magnetic strips located on the side of the insulator.
McBride suffers from the disadvantage of requiring a flat horizontal surface to position the beverage holder.
However, Moore does not teach or suggest an insulating device which accommodates various types of containers.
However Payne does not teach or suggest an insulating device for use with beverage containers.

Embodiment Construction
[0023] The present invention is an insulator holding a beverage container having a magnetized strip for attachment to a surface. FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of an insulator 10 in the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The insulator is constructed of a flexible material having excellent insulating qualities such as neoprene or Gortex. However, any material which can securely hold a beverage container may be utilized. Preferably, the insulator is a cylindrical shell having a wall 12 surrounding an interior 14. On a top portion 16 of the insulator is an opening 16. The interior is sized and shaped to accommodate a beverage container, such as a water bottle. In addition, the wall is preferably constructed of an elastomeric material to stretch around the beverage container while retaining the container within the interior. The wall includes at least one magnetic strip 18. Preferably, to maintain a balanced weight distribution of the insulator, there are two or more str...

The present invention is an insulator for holding a beverage container against a surface. The insulator is a shell having an elastomeric wall. The top portion of the insulator includes an opening leading to an interior portion of the insulator. The insulator wall includes at least one magnetic strip. A beverage container is held within the interior of the insulator. The insulator and retained beverage container may then be attached to any metallic surface. The insulator may include retaining straps to more securely hold the beverage container within the interior of the insulator.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates to beverage containers. Specifically, and not by way of limitation, the present invention relates to a magnetized insulator for a beverage container. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] It is widely known that the consumption of beverages is quite important during athletic activities. Numerous users of health clubs are seen with water bottles while exercising. The use of a beverage bottle having water or another fluid provides many advantages. By using a beverage bottle, the user does not have to return to a water fountain to stay hydrated. In addition, oftentimes individuals mix various substances into or in place of water to provide various benefits. However, although there are some benefits to using a bottle, it is also often very cumbersome to carry. The user must carry the bottle from station to station without having a specific location to position the bottle. Most often the ...
