Problems solved by technology

When a glass or plastic beverage container is a exposed to ambient temperatures condensation often forms on the exterior of the container leading to collection of moisture and exposure thereof to the user's hands and sometimes dropping onto the person's clothing.
Also, direct contact with the chilled container generates some degree of discomfort and accelerates warming of the chilled beverage.
Foam holders are typically relatively thick walled and rigid so that they are expensive to manufacture and bulky to store.
These devices can be expensive to manufacture and require some degree of dexterity to install and remove.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]With this current day of popularity of individual beverage containers such as cups, bottles or cans, there is a need for a holder which will insulate the user's hand from the container and which also provides for a close-fit simulating the shape and size of the container itself. There is a demand in market for an inexpensive holder which is collapsible to a compact storage configuration and, which is easily erectable for receipt of a beverage container. It would also be beneficial if the holder provided a thermal barrier to protect the user's hands from hot and cold and which would also capture condensation which might drip from the exterior of the container.

[0017]To this end, our invention includes a strip of flexible cardboard paper fabricated to form a cylindrically shaped, thermal, peripheral wall 21 configured with a corrugated liner 23 and terminating in an upper edge 25 (FIGS. 5 and 7) and an open bottom. A generally cylindrically shaped highly flexible plastic film lin...

Abstract

A beverage container holder constructed of flexible metal foil.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to holders for receiving beverage containers.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]In modern day society beverages in individual cans and bottles are popular for human consumption. A great majority of these beverages are served chilled. When a glass or plastic beverage container is a exposed to ambient temperatures condensation often forms on the exterior of the container leading to collection of moisture and exposure thereof to the user's hands and sometimes dropping onto the person's clothing. Also, direct contact with the chilled container generates some degree of discomfort and accelerates warming of the chilled beverage. Thus, many different styles and designs of insulated for insulated beverage container holders. Many of such have been proposed are rigid and, since they must conform to the present significant bulk and the expense of shipping and storage.[0005]Foam holders are typ...
