Abstract
A sleeve for holding a container includes an enclosed wall and a flexible concave base defining an orifice. The flexible concave base connects to the cylindrical wall with the orifice within the enclosed wall. The flexible concave base opens away from said enclosed wall. The sleeve insulates the containers, holds the container, attaches the container to a surface, and eases the removal of the container from the sleeve.
Claims19
A sleeve for holding a container comprising:
- an enclosed insulating cylindrical wall having a bottom with an opening;
- and
- a flexible concave base defining an orifice, said flexible concave base connected airtightedly to said bottom of said cylindrical wall, said flexible concave base opening downwardly and below said bottom of said cylindrical wall and adhering by suction onto a surface when the container is inserted to form an airtight fit with said cylindrical wall, and said flexible concave base being pressed downwardly and flattened against the surface, and said cylindrical wall releasing the container without forming a vacuum when said concave base is not against the surface by allowing air through said opening.
In a sleeve for holding a container, the sleeve having an enclosed insulating cylindrical wall with a bottom with an opening formed therein, an improvement comprising:
- a flexible concave base defining an orifice, said flexible concave base connected airtightedly to said bottom of said cylindrical wall, said flexible concave base opening downwardly and below said bottom of said cylindrical wall and adhering by suction onto a surface when the container inserted to form an airtight fit with said cylindrical wall and said flexible concave base is pressed downwardly and flattened against the surface, and said cylindrical wall releasing the container without forming a vacuum when said concave base is not against the surface by allowing air though said opening.
