Abstract

A precisely measured removable cover for reusable beverage containers with releasable closures. The cover has a flexible sheet with a graphical display imprinted on one side and a cover fastener for removably fastening the cover to a container. The sheet is advantageously adapted to substantially cover the side walls of the container. The cover fastener has one or more releasable closures, and at least one of the releasable closures includes a fluked tab interlock locking tab and slot structure, wherein the fluked tab is on one end of the cover and the slot is proximate the opposite end of the cover and parallel to the fluked tab. A cam/slot paired closure is also disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for removably covering a beverage dispenser that is a member of one of a plurality of beverage dispenser series, the system comprising:
 a. a plurality of beverage dispenser series, each beverage dispenser of a dispenser series being reusable as a beverage dispenser and having particular size and shape dimensions identical to every other dispenser in the series, and such that these dimensions are different from a set of dimensions of at least one dispenser in one other series;   b. a plurality of removable and reusable beverage dispenser side wall covers;   c. wherein each of the plurality of beverage dispenser side wall covers is precisely fitted to the particular dimensions of a beverage dispenser from one of the plurality of beverage dispenser series; and   d. wherein each of the plurality of beverage dispenser covers comprise a releasable closure for removably and reusably holding the beverage dispenser cover onto the beverage dispenser.   
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein each of the plurality of removable and reusable beverage dispenser covers comprises a flexible sheet of an independently resilient material. 
   
   
       3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein each of the plurality of removable and reusable beverage dispenser covers comprises a flexible sheet of translucent material with a graphical display imprinted thereon. 
   
   
       4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the releasable closure comprises a plurality of releasable fasteners at spaced intervals. 
   
   
       5 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the releasable closure comprises of a strip of releasable closure material. 
   
   
       6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the releasable closure is selected from the group of releasable closures consisting of tab and slot paired closure, hook and pile paired closure, magnetic material closure, and reusable pressure sensitive adhesive closure. 
   
   
       7 . The system of  claim 6  wherein the releasable closure is a pressure sensitive adhesive upon at least one surface. 
   
   
       8 . The system of  claim 1  wherein each dispenser of each dispenser series is an airpot. 
   
   
       9 . The system of  claim 1  wherein each dispenser of each dispenser series has side walls that are non-cylindrical. 
   
   
       10 . A system for removably covering beverage dispensers from a plurality of beverage dispenser series, the system comprising:
 a. a plurality of beverage dispenser series, each beverage dispenser of a dispenser series being reusable as a beverage dispenser and having particular size and shape dimensions identical to every other dispenser in the series, and such that these dimensions are different from a set of dimensions of at least one dispenser in one other series;   b. a plurality of removable and reusable beverage dispenser side wall covers;   c. wherein each of the plurality of beverage dispenser side wall covers is precisely fitted to the particular dimensions of a beverage dispenser from one of the plurality of beverage dispenser series;   d. wherein each of the plurality of beverage dispenser covers comprise a releasable closure for removably and reusably holding the beverage dispenser cover onto the beverage dispenser; and   e. wherein the releasable closure is selected from the group of releasable closures consisting of tab and slot paired closure, hook and pile paired closure, magnetic material closure, and reusable pressure sensitive adhesive closure.   
   
   
       11 . The system of  claim 10  wherein the plurality of removable and reusable beverage dispenser covers each comprise a flexible sheet of an independently resilient material. 
   
   
       12 . The system of  claim 10  wherein the plurality of removable and reusable beverage dispenser covers each comprise a flexible sheet of translucent material with a graphical display imprinted thereon. 
   
   
       13 . A system for removably covering beverage dispensers from a plurality of beverage dispenser series, the system comprising:
 a. a plurality of beverage dispenser series, each beverage dispenser of a dispenser series being reusable as a beverage dispenser and having particular size and shape dimensions identical to every other dispenser in the series, and such that these dimensions are different from a set of dimensions of at least one dispenser in one other series;   b. a plurality of removable and reusable beverage dispenser side wall covers, each comprising a flexible sheet of an independently resilient translucent material with a graphical display imprinted thereon;   c. wherein each of the plurality of beverage dispenser side wall covers is precisely fitted to the particular dimensions of a beverage dispenser from one of the plurality of beverage dispenser series;   d. wherein each of the plurality of beverage dispenser covers comprise a releasable closure for removably and reusably holding the beverage dispenser cover onto the beverage dispenser; and   e. wherein the releasable closure is selected from the group of releasable closures consisting of tab and slot paired closure, hook and pile paired closure, magnetic material closure, and reusable pressure sensitive adhesive closure.   
   
   
       14 . The system of  claim 13  wherein the releasable closure comprises a pressure sensitive adhesive upon at least one surface.
