Embodiment Construction

[0025]FIG. 1 illustrates the present invention, a securable insulating object holder 1 that comprises a hollow cylinder 3 and a flexible skirt 5 that protrudes radially outwardly past the base of the cylinder 3. The holder 1 contains a soda can S while secured to a surface 10 with the skirt 5 fully extended so that the sealing surface 18 of the skirt 5 substantially contacts the surface 10. As shown by FIG. 2, the holder may hold a cell phone C or other objects therein.

[0026]FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show the cylinder 3 of the preferred embodiment having a closed bottom 20 and an opened top 22, in addition to an inner surface 24 and an outer surface 26. The skirt 5 encircles and is affixed to the perimeter of the cylinder 3, partially defining a sealable chamber 28 from which air will be forced to form a vacuum therein, and which is further defined by the bottom surface 30 of the cylinder 3. The skirt 5 may be affixed to the outer surface 26 by adhesive or stitching, or any other means sui...

Abstract

An insulating and securable object holder comprising a solid insulator for holding the object coupled with a flexible material that extends downwardly past the rubber insulator protruding radially to form a flexible skirt. The holder protects, insulates, and secures differently-sized objects to smooth and semi-smooth non-porous surfaces by a vacuum created when the holder is firmly pressed down onto a non-porous surface.

Description

REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This is a non-provisional application relating to the content of, and claiming priority to, U.S. Patent Application No. 60 / 695,523, filed Jun. 30, 2005, which is incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The invention relates to an insulating object holder that is securable to a surface. The object holder may hold an object, such as a cell phone or a drink container, in an upright position and allow for the object to be removed from the holder at the user's convenience. [0004] 2. Background Information [0005] Numerous inventions have been directed to devices for keeping a beverage a desired temperature while not spilling the beverage. The prior art in this area, however, is replete with limitations. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,447,764 discloses a two-part device that comprises a cylindrical sleeve and a flexible base, both made of nitrile. The tubular and flat flexible base is removab...
