Abstract
An insulating device for longneck bottles having a lower cylindrical enclosure which telescopically receives an upper enclosure having a dome-shaped upper end and an opening therein of a diameter selected to determine the extent to which the upper enclosure slides down the bottle neck and hence the extent to which the upper enclosure extends into the lower enclosure.
Claims4
A cooler apparatus for a longneck bottle having a neck which increases in diameter down its length comprising:
- a lower cylindrical enclosure having a closed end and a circular upper rim defining a circular opening into a cylindrical interior for receiving the end of said bottle;
- an upper enclosure having a dome-shaped upper end unitarily and integrally forming into a lower cylindrical section, the lower cylindrical section terminating in a circular rim sized in diameter to telescopically interfit into the interior cylindrical surface of said lower enclosure while simultaneously providing an interference fit between cylindrical portions of said upper and lower enclosures;
- said upper dome-shaped portion including a circular opening therein sized in diameter to pass over the top of said bottle and come into a locking relation with the neck of said bottle at a selected diameter along said neck, said locking relation preventing further downward progress of said upper dome-shaped portion along said neck, the diameter of said opening being determined to define the extent to which the lower cylindrical section of said upper enclosure extends into said lower cylindrical enclosure.
