Claims19
A beverage receptacle configured to receive a beverage container, comprising:
- a tubular body having a tubular portion and a base;
- a cavity within the tubular body adapted to receive the beverage container;
- a rubber sleeve at least partially surrounding the tubular portion of the tubular body;
- a bearer adapted to bear on the beverage container, the bearer comprising:
- a ring,
- a pair of projection receiving channels running along the upper and lower portion of the ring configured to be received by a pair of projections on an inner face of the cavity adjacent to an upper rim of the tubular body, and
- one or more strips perpendicular to the pair of projections, the one or more strips being adapted to bear the beverage container;
- wherein the beverage receptacle is formed of an insulating material.
A beverage receptacle configured to receive a beverage container, comprising:
- a tubular body having a tubular portion and a base;
- a cavity within the tubular body adapted to receive the beverage container;
- a rubber sleeve at least partially surrounding the tubular portion of the tubular body;
- a bearer adapted to bear on the beverage container,
- wherein the bearer is a threaded ring comprising:
- an upper end seated on an upper rim of the tubular body;
- a lower end comprising a threaded portion configured to be received by a complimentary threaded portion on an inner face of the cavity;
- and
- one or more strips connected to the upper and lower end;
- wherein upon rotation of the threaded portion along the complimentary threaded portion, the one or more strips are configured to bend;
- and
- wherein the beverage receptacle is formed of an insulating material.

- a tubular body having a tubular portion and a base;
- a cavity within the tubular body adapted to receive the beverage container;
- a rubber sleeve at least partially surrounding the tubular portion of the tubular body;
- a bearer adapted to bear on the beverage container,
- wherein the bearer comprises:
- a fixed first portion;
- a second portion connected to the first portion and adapted to be rotated;
- and
- one or more strips connected to the first and second portions;
- wherein upon rotation of the second portion, the one or more strips are configured to bend;

A beverage receptacle configured to receive a beverage container, comprising:
- a tubular body having a tubular portion and a base;
- a cavity within the tubular body adapted to receive the beverage container;
- a rubber sleeve at least partially surrounding the tubular portion of the tubular body;
- a bearer adapted to bear on the beverage container,
- wherein an inner face of the cavity further comprises at least one recess for receiving at least one inter-lockable member of an insert for a beverage receptacle cavity,
- wherein the insert for the beverage receptacle cavity comprises an annular body having the at least one inter-lockable member for engaging with the inner face of the beverage receptacle cavity,
- wherein the annular body further comprises:
- at least one sprung leg extending orthogonally from the annular body,
- at least one first support for a container, and
- at least one second support, the at least one second support being located concentrically to the at least one first support so that when a container is inserted into the cavity and the container engages the at least one first support, the annular body travels in the cavity until the annular body reaches a location proximal to the base, and when a container engages the at least one second support, the at least one inter-lockable member interlocks with the inner face of the beverage receptacle cavity, and
- wherein the beverage receptacle is formed of an insulating material.
