Abstract
An elongated sheet of crosslinked polyethylene foam, which type of foam can be imprinted with conventional printing inks, is wrapped about the cylindrical surface of a cylindrical container for thermal insulation of the container contents. A strip of adhesive is deposited upon one side at one end of the sheet to receive and removably retain an overlapped portion of the other end of the sheet to secure the sheet about the container.
Claims8
A removable reuseable thermal insulator for containers, said insulator comprising in combination:
- (a) a sheet of foam for circumscribingly engaging the container and thermally insulating the portions of the container proximate said sheet from heat transfer intermediate the container and the ambient environment, said sheet including opposed ends;
- and
- (b) adhesive means for non-permanently securing said opposed ends in positional relationship to one another upon engagement of said insulator about the container and thereby maintaining said insulator mounted upon the container;
- whereby, said insulator is removably engageable about and maintainable upon the container to insulate thermally the container from the ambient environment.
