Protective end cap for insulating device

Abstract

An impact reduction mechanism is provided, utilizing a protective end cap to reduce the force transferred to the body of a insulating device when the insulating device encounters an impact force to the base end. An example insulating device may include a body defining a first end and a second end and a protective end cap attached to the first end of the body. The protective end cap may define a base and one or more walls. The protective end cap may embody an impact reduction mechanism, defining a gap formed between the first end of the body and the base of the protective end cap. The impact reduction mechanism may be configured to reduce an overall force received by the body of the insulating device in an instance in which the protective end cap is subjected to an impact force.
