[0006]It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide an insulated jacket for a support vessel, such as a water bottle or other

Problems solved by technology

However, such polymer insulation is limited in its ability to maintain a cold beverage temperature, especially outdoors in sunlight.
One of the problems with using a sleeve-type beverage holder is that under certain conditions the beverage container such as a water bottle may come through the base opening in the sleeve and be ejected out the bottom which causes a user to lose control of his or her be

Embodiment Construction

[0036]Turning now to the drawings and, more particularly, to FIG. 1, an insulated jacket for a support vessel such as a water bottle or other beverage container is illustrated generally at 10 and includes a body 12 formed as a generally cylindrical continuous wall 15. The jacket 10, as illustrated in the environmental view of FIG. 1, is configured to surround a water bottle B. As will be seen in greater detail hereinafter, the continuous wall 15 is formed from a sheet 14 of reflective insulation (See FIG. 5).

[0037]As seen in FIG. 2, the insulation includes an inner surface 16 and an outer surface 18, with a plurality of air pockets 19 disposed therebetween. The material is a polymer material that is an insulation material and a suitable version of such material, in the configuration of foil-bubble-bubble-foil laminated reflective insulation, has been available commercially under the trademark ASTRO-FOIL®, which is a registered trademark of Pactiv Protective Packaging, Lake Forest, I...

Abstract

An insulated jacket for a support vessel includes a body formed from flexible insulated material, the body including a continuous wall member having an inner surface and an outer surface; an access opening rim forming an access opening, and a base opening rim forming a base opening wherein the access opening rim is displaced from the base opening rim by the continuous wall member; a cavity configured for a support vessel containment wherein a portion of the support vessel can project from the base opening; and a stop element formed on the body from at least a portion of the continuous wall member adjacent the base rim, the stop element being configured for projecting into the cavity for engagement with a base portion of a support vessel to substantially prevent a support vessel from moving from the cavity outwardly through the base opening.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates broadly to insulated holders for beverage containers and more particularly to an insulated jacket for a support vessel such as a water bottle or other beverage container wherein the beverage container can function as a support base and the jacket is configured to prevent a beverage container from passing through a base opening in the jacket.[0002]Insulated beverage holders are typically formed from insulating material, such as a foam polymer and are configured in a cylinder manner to hold either a beverage can or a beverage bottle while reducing the rate at which the beverage warms to the surroundings and providing a dry, room temperature surface for grasping by a user. However, such polymer insulation is limited in its ability to maintain a cold beverage temperature, especially outdoors in sunlight.[0003]Some beverage container holders are formed with a base element, thereby closing one end of the cylinder to retain the...
