Insulator apparatus for a beverage container

An insulator apparatus for a beverage container comprising:

• a section of foam material;
• a first self-coiling spring strip embedded within said section of foam material;
• and
• a second self-coiling spring strip embedded within said section of foam material, said first self-coiling spring strip being in parallel relationship to said second self-coiling spring strip, each of said first and second self-coiling spring strips having a concave side and a convex side and the property that when straightened the spring strip holds a straightened shape and when bent in a predetermined direction the spring strip self-rolls to encircle the beverage container, said first and second self-coiling spring strips extending longitudinally across said section of foam material.

An insulator for a beverage container comprising:

• a section of foam material having a length dimension and a width dimension;
• a first self-coiling spring strip affixed to said section of foam material ;
• and
• a second self-coiling spring strip affixed to said section of foam material in parallel relationship to said first self-coiling spring strip, said first and second self-coiling spring strips operating so as to self-roll said section of foam material around an exterior surface of the beverage container, each of said first and second self-coiling spring strips having a concave side and a convex side, said concave side of said first self-coiling spring strip facing a similar direction as said concave side of said second self-coiling spring strip, each of said first and second self-coiling spring strips having the property that when straightened the spring strip holds a straightened shape and when bent in a predetermined direction the spring strip self-rolls to encircle the beverage container.
