[0010]The Cup Cuff is a one-piece slightly tapered, conical cylinder open on the top and bottom allowing a typical paper coffee cup to be inserted into the cup cuff that will provide a sleeve around 360 degrees of the cup providing insulation and protection at the same time providing a handle to hold on to the cup.

The intermediate strip provides an attaching point for the handle and the sleeve. The handle provides a convenient opening for the holder's finger.

[0012]The handle is a solid one-piece rubber or rubber material in a “C” shape that is not less than 0.2610 inch thick, with an opening radius of 0.6915 inch and a total height of 1.905 inches. The handle is centered and attached to the intermediate strip.

Abstract

A beverage container handle is disclosed, fabricated from sheet material, such as rubber with rubber or fabric with rubber includes any biodegradable material or any other recyclable material. The handle comprises a cylindrical portion for receiving a beverage container and a “C” shaped handle portion. Both of these portions are fabricated from the same single continuous sheet. A Method of manufacturing the container handle includes handle members that are continuous with the cylindrical portion that wraps around the outer walls of a container held therein. Thus the handle is uniquely rigid, providing the user with a sense of firmness. A person using the handle need not have direct contact with the beverage container held therein, thus increasing his or her comfort level. Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing and compacting the handle for easy storage and access of-the invention.
