Abstract
A container sleeve is disclosed which include a body configured to hold a container. The body contains an attachment element that is concealed behind a cover, and is suitable for temporarily, but securely attaching the sleeve, container, and the container's contents to a vertical surface. The body and the cover over the attachment element have different coefficients of friction, optimized for their roles of gripping vertical surfaces, and human hands, respectively.
Claims20
A container sleeve comprising:
- a body having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surface defining an inner volume that holds a fluid container;
- an attachment element coupled to the body, wherein the attachment element exerts a magnetic pull force;
- and
- a friction enhancer operably connected to the exterior surface of the body and positioned to at least partially enclose the attachment element, wherein the friction enhancer supports a combined weight of at least the container, the attachment element, and the friction enhancer , and wherein the friction enhancer has a coefficient of friction that is at least a ratio of the combined weight divided by the magnetic pull force.

A container sleeve, comprising:
- a body further comprising an interior surface, an exterior surface, and defining an inner volume;
- an attachment element connected to the body and exerting a magnetic force sufficient to support the body and a container in a predetermined position;
- and
- a cap connected to the body and positioned over a first surface of the attachment element so as to conceal the attachment element from the exterior surface of the body, wherein the cap has a coefficient of friction larger than a coefficient of friction of the exterior surface of the body.
1 more element
A container sleeve comprising:
- a cylindrical body having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surface defining an inner volume that holds a fluid container containing a fluid;
- the body further comprising an open end and a closed end;
- an attachment element coupled to the body, wherein the attachment element exerts a magnetic pull force;
- a strap that closes around the container at the open end;
- a strap adjuster that adjusts a length of the strap and holds the length of the strap;
- a cover attached to the exterior surface of the body and positioned to at least partially enclose the attachment element, wherein the cover supports a combined weight of at least the container, the fluid, the attachment element, and the cover and wherein the cover has a coefficient of friction that is at least a ratio of the combined weight divided by the magnetic pull force, and wherein the cover exerts an elastic force less than the magnetic pull force.
