US 8,025,146 B2 · Cooleebob compliant upright drink insulator attachment

Abstract

Improvements in a compliant upright drink insulator attachment device that is works with a standard drink insulator. The attachment device uses two parts where one part mates with the second part to slip through a standard insulated drink holder. These insulated drink holders are commonly called coolies or koozies and are manufactured with a central hole to allow for draining. A clip connects a compliant cord to one or both of the two parts. The compliant cord is configured as a coiled cord. A weight is connected to the free end of the compliant cord to keep the insulated drink holder in an upright orientation in the water. The compliant cord allows the weight to move semi independent from the insulated drink holder, and further allows the weight to be stored within the insulated drink holder for storage when it is not being used.

Dependent claims

A compliant upright drink insulator attachment device comprising:

a first member having a central hole with a plurality of extensions that extends from said central hole in an essentially planar arrangement that is perpendicular to the central hole;
said first member further has a crown that extends concentric with said central hole and is configured to fit through the bottom hole of a beverage insulator;
a second member having an essentially planar base with a plurality of elongated finger with tabs located along the elongated finger;
said tabs are configured to engage into said central hole in said first member;
said plurality of elongated fingers is placed through a bottom hole of an insulated drink holder;
a tether configured for securing a first end onto said first and or said second member, and
said tether having a second end configured for securing to a weight.
