Beverage insulator

Abstract

A beverage insulator including a base member and walls which form a receptacle. The beverage insulator is preferably formed of close cell foam material or the like. The receptacle includes a top flat annular surface which opens to a tubular interior so as to provide a beverage container receiving volume. The receptacle member is configured for holding a thirty-two ounce glass or plastic bottle. The exterior surface of the receptacle member can include image information including illustration, logos, and other information.

We claim:  
     
         1 . A beverage insulator comprising: 
 a base member;    a continuous circular wall formed on said base member, said circular wall and said base member forming a receptacle, wherein said receptacle is configured for holding a thirty-two ounce glass or plastic container.    
     
     
         2 . A beverage insulator according to  claim 1 , wherein said base member and said circular wall are made of close-cell foam material.  
     
     
         3 . A beverage insulator according to  claim 2 , wherein said receptacle includes a tubular interior and a tubular exterior, and a top flat annular surface which opens to the tubular interior.  
     
     
         4 . A beverage insulator according to  claim 3 , wherein said circular wall has a thickness of about three-eights of an inch.  
     
     
         5 . A beverage insulator according to  claim 4 , wherein said tubular interior has a diameter of about three and three-fourths inches.  
     
     
         6 . A beverage insulator according to  claim 5 , wherein said tubular exterior has a height of about five inches.  
     
     
         7 . A beverage insulator comprising: 
 a base member;    a continuous circular wall formed on said base member, said circular wall and said base member forming a receptacle, said receptacle having a tubular interior and a tubular exterior and a top flat annular surface which opens to said tubular interior;    said circular wall having a thickness of about three-eights of an inch;    said tubular interior having a diameter of about three and three-fourths of an inch;    said tubular exterior having a height of about five inches, wherein said receptacle is configured for holding a thirty-two ounce glass or plastic container.
