Ammunition-holding beverage insulator

Abstract

A device for securely wrapping around a beverage container for the purpose of insulating and carrying it, the beverage insulating device for also securely carrying firearms ammunition cartridges.

Description

[0001]This non-provisional application claims the benefit of provisional application No. 61 / 690,015 filed Jun. 8, 2012.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A variety of insulating devices for reducing heat transfer to / from beverage containers have been developed in the prior art. These beverage insulating devices, or “koozies,” slow the rate at which the temperature of a cold or hot beverage will rise or lower toward the ambient air temperature, and they may also have the effect of making beverages visually distinguishable from each other—something that may be especially useful in an office refrigerator environment in which multiple people may store otherwise identical beverage cans and containers, for example.[0003]Koozies have either an openable or permanently closed structure that friction fits around the circumference of a beverage container. They also are either bottomless or have bottom surface. Typically, openable structure koozies are formed by a strip or panel of insulating mat...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0008]It is another object of the invention to provide a carrying case for a beverage container that insulates the container from heat loss and protects a user's hands from the container chill or heat.

Problems solved by technology

For example, it may be useful for insulating a standard-sized, aluminum beverage can, but not able to fit around a larger-diametered plastic sports bottle.

Closed structure koozies tend to have similar expandability limitation issues.

In addition to presenting limitations relative to their ability to conform to a range beverage container sizes, the present inventor has recognized that conventional koozies tend to be more functionally limited than may be desirable.
