Adjustable insulator

An adjustable insulator, for use with a can or bottle of drink, the adjustable insulator including:

• a substantially planar body having a first end and a second end;
• adjustment means associated with the substantially planar body, including a first adjustment means part, associated with the first end of the substantially planar body, and a second adjustment means part, associated with the second end of the substantially planar body, the first and second parts together can adjustably connect,
• wherein, the first adjustment means part and second adjustment means part reciprocally connect in an adjustable manner for use about the can or bottle, and further wherein the adjustable insulator is substantially formed of a single sheet or piece of single face corrugated cardboard of a suitable form, readily folded to create the adjustable insulator which is maintained in place in use without the need for glue or additional connection or adhesion.

An adjustable insulator for use with a can or bottle of drink, the adjustable insulator including:

• a substantially planar body of single face narrow flute corrugated cardboard that may be assembled for use about or around the can or bottle to provide insulation, the substantially planar body having a first end and a second end;
• adjustment means associated with the substantially planar body, including a first adjustment means part, associated with the first end of the substantially planar body, and a second adjustment means part, associated with the second end of the substantially planar body, the first and second parts together can adjustably connect,
• wherein, the first adjustment means part and second adjustment means part reciprocally connect by overlaying one corrugated face with another corrugated face so as the corrugations interlock in an adjustable manner for use about the can or bottle, and once adjusted to a suitable position the connection of adjustment means prevents the disassembly of the first adjustment means part and the second adjustment means part, assisted by the pressure of the can or bottle.

A method of assembly of an adjustable insulator for a can or bottle, the adjustable insulator including a substantially planar body having a first end and a second end, and adjustment means associated with the substantially planar body, including a first adjustment means part, associated with the first end of the substantially planar body, and a second adjustment means part, associated with the second end of the substantially planar body, whereby the first and second parts together can adjustably connect for use about the can or bottle, the method of assembly including the following steps:

• a) folding of the substantially planar body in three, lengthways to create a strip shape;
• b) curving the strip to form a suitable size and shape for the can or bottle to be insulated;
• c) connecting the first and second adjustment means parts together at that size and shape, whereby the connected insulator is held in place during use by the adjustment means and further wherein the adjustable insulator is formed of a single sheet or piece of single face corrugated cardboard of a suitable form, readily folded to create the adjustable insulator which is maintained in place in use without the need for glue or additional connection or adhesion.
