Abstract

The present invention discloses an improved insulated beverage container holder formed from foam in the shape of a human hand holding a beverage container. The holder comprises a body having a perimeter wall generally in the shape of a hand and a wrist and the perimeter wall of the wrist defining an access opening formed and arranged to accept insertion of a human hand into a chamber defined by the perimeter wall of the hand. The holder further comprises a removable cavity insert adapted to be disposed in the receptacle. The cavity insert is for standard 12 ounce cans and bottles. When the cavity insert is removed from the receptacle, it is sized to receive larger type containers, such as 24 ounce stadium cups. A removable wrist band allows the holder to be produced in different colors and to display schools/teams symbols.
