A beverage sleeve is configured to provide insulation for a user of a beverage container holding warm or cold beverages. The beverage sleeve encircles a beverage container and provides insulation against heat transferred through the surface of the container. In some embodiments, the sleeve is coated with a layer of thermochromatic ink. When heat is absorbed through the surface of a beverage container, it causes the thermochromatic ink to change its light response, thus causing an advertisement to be displayed on the surface of the sleeve. The designs for these advertisements can be received from a vendor of the product or service advertised. The sleeves are then shipped to venues in which beverages are sold for use with said beverages.

The present invention is a sleeve that is place or wrapped around a beverage container. The sleeve is designed to either heat the beverage container to keep or change the temperature of the liquid within the beverage container. It can also be used to keep a users hand warm while drinking a cool beverage.

The invention is a water dispenser taking water from the air and purifying the water, including a compressor, a water maker, a sterilizing UV lamp, an activated carbon purifier, etc. The refrigerating agent is compressed by the compressor, then condensed by a condenser and enters in the water maker for evaporating and absorbing heat, the external air and the water maker convect mandatorily to exchange heat by a fan, the water in the air condenses outside the water maker and then flows into a water receiving disc at the lower part of the water maker, the UV lamp above the water receiving disc sterilizes the water in the water receiving disc, and the water sterilized is filtered by the activated carbon purifier and flows in a hot-cold drinking water containers.
