Benefits of technology

The present invention is an insulated apparatus for a beverage can that efficiently insulates the beverage can to maintain its cold temperature. The apparatus covers the lateral wall, base end, and top end of the beverage can, protecting it from heat and other external elements. The apparatus includes an insulated member and a sealable cap that are connected by a flexible attachment. The insulated member has a sleeve, base, top rim, storage compartment, and fastening mechanism. The sealable cap is designed to protect the beverage from outside elements while still allowing access to the opening. The technical effect of this invention is to provide an efficient and effective insulation for beverage cans, keeping them cold and protected from heat.

Problems solved by technology

Additionally, the insulated devices expose the beverage within the beverage can to outside elements, such as insects and dust as the opening of the beverage can is not covered.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]All illustrations of the drawings are for the purpose of describing selected versions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0016]In reference to FIG. 1-FIG. 4, the present invention is an insulated apparatus for a beverage can so that the beverage within the beverage can is efficiently insulated to minimize the heat absorbent. The present invention fully covers the standard size beverage can in order to retain the cold temperature condition within the beverage can. The present invention comprises an insulated member 1, a flexible attachment 2, and a sealable cap 3, where the insulated member 1 and the sealable cap 3 are connected to each other by the flexible attachment 2.

[0017]In reference to FIG. 5-FIG. 8, the insulated member 1 that tightly insulates the base end and the lateral wall of the beverage can comprises a sleeve 11, a base 12, a top rim 13, a storage compartment 14, and a fastening mechanism 15. The sleeve 11 is...

Abstract

An insulated apparatus for a beverage can includes an insulated member, a flexible attachment, and a sealable cap. The insulated member that covers the base end and the lateral wall of a beverage can is connected with the sealable cap by the flexible attachment, where the sealable cap is removably attached around the top end of the beverage can. Collectively, the insulated member and the sealable cap retain the cold temperature condition of the beverage can. A cap opening of the sealable cap allows the beverage within the beverage can to flow through so that the users can consume the beverage without removing the sealable cap. The users can either close or open the cap opening through a slidable tab to protect the beverage within the beverage can from outside element.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to an insulated apparatus for a beverage can. More specifically, the present invention is an insulated apparatus for a beverage can so that the respective beverage can is effectively insulated from heat while protecting the beverage within from the outside elements.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]In order to retain the cold temperature condition of a beverage can, an insulated device is normally placed around the beverage can so that the insulated device is able to insulate the beverage can from heat via both conduction and external infrared sources such as, a hand, warm air, or strong sunlight. The use of the insulated devices can be very useful in outdoor events since the elevated temperature drastically decreases the cold temperature condition of the beverage. A secondary use of the insulated device is to easily identify one's beverage from another as each of the insulated devices can be different from one anoth...
