Wrap for a bottle or other product

Abstract

A wrap for a bottle or other product includes a pair of T-shaped panels coupled together to define a bottle-receiving pocket and a collar. Trim panels are coupled to the T-shaped panels to define at least one channel that extends around the collar and receives a tie. Tightening the tie gathers the collar together to close the pocket.

1 . A wrap for a bottle comprising:
 a compliant material formed into a pocket and a collar, the collar having a width greater than a width of the pocket, the pocket defining bottle-receiving cavity; and   a tie extending substantially around the collar.   
   
   
       2 . The wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the tie extends through a channel formed of the compliant material. 
   
   
       3 . The wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the tie has at least one loose end. 
   
   
       4 . The wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the collar extends around the bottle receiving cavity, the collar located vertically substantially where a neck of a bottle in the cavity would be. 
   
   
       5 . The wrap of  claim 1 , wherein the compliant material includes a T-shaped panel having a lower portion that defines the cavity and a top portion that defines the collar. 
   
   
       6 . The wrap of  claim 5 , wherein the compliant material includes a trim panel coupled to the T-shaped panel, and wherein the trim panel and the T-shaped panel cooperate to define a channel through which the tie extends. 
   
   
       7 . The wrap of  claim 1 , further comprising an insulating liner received by the cavity. 
   
   
       8 . A wrap for a bottle comprising:
 a bottle-conforming section and a neck section, the bottle-conforming section sized to receive substantially all of a bottle; and   a tie secured to the neck section and arranged to pinch the neck section.   
   
   
       9 . The wrap of  claim 8 , wherein the neck section includes first and second panels of compliant material joined together, and wherein each panel has a channel section through which the tie extends. 
   
   
       10 . The wrap of  claim 9 , wherein the tie extends once through the first channel and twice through the second channel, the tie crossing over itself within the second channel. 
   
   
       11 . The wrap of  claim 8 , wherein the bottle-conforming section and the neck section are integral and formed of first and second T-shaped panels, wherein first and second channel sections are defined between the first and second T-shaped panels and first and second trim panels, the first and second trim panels coupled to a respective one of the first and second T-shaped panels, and wherein the tie extends through the first and second channel sections. 
   
   
       12 . The wrap of  claim 11 , wherein the T-shaped panels and the trim panels each include upper edges that are spaced from the first and second channel sections, and wherein the upper edges of the trim panels are spaced further from the first and second channels than the upper edges of the T-shaped panels. 
   
   
       13 . The wrap of  claim 8 , further comprising an insulating liner received by the bottle-conforming section and sized to receive at least a portion of the bottle. 
   
   
       14 . A wrap for a bottle comprising:
 a pair of T-shaped panels of compliant material, the panels secured together to define a pocket therebetween;   a pair of trim panels, each trim panel secured to a T-shaped panel so that a channel section is formed between each T-shaped panel and trim panel; and   a tie extending through the channel sections, the tie having at least one loose end exposed outside of the channel sections.   
   
   
       15 . The wrap of  claim 14  further comprising insulation within the bottle receiving pocket. 
   
   
       16 . The wrap of  claim 14 , wherein the T-shaped panels define an opening to the pocket, and wherein movement of the loose end of the tie relative to the trim panels draws the trim panels and at least a portion of the T-shaped panels together to substantially close the opening. 
   
   
       17 . The wrap of  claim 14 , wherein the T-shaped panels and the trim panels each include upper edges spaced from the channels. 
   
   
       18 . The wrap of  claim 17 , wherein the upper edges of the flat fabric panels are spaced further from the channels than the upper edges of the T-shaped fabric panels. 
   
   
       19 . The wrap of  claim 14 , wherein the tie extends across a gap defined between the channel sections.
