Beverage container holder

Abstract

A beverage container holder for holding a beverage can or bottle comprising: a mug and a beverage container securing system. The mug includes: an inner cylindrical cavity sized to receive a beverage container; and a cylindrical shell. The cylindrical shell is composed of: an inner layer; a middle layer composed of a substantially liquid impermeable material and substantially enclosing the inner layer; and an outer layer substantially enclosing the middle layer. The mug also includes: a base member and a handle member. The beverage container securing system includes: a hole disposed through the cylindrical shell; and a tab coupled to the cylindrical shell, substantially covering the hole, including an adhesive material on the tab's inner side. The beverage holder also includes a first and second split along the cylindrical shell and a folding system. The folding system includes a first, second, and third crease which allow users store multiple holders.

1 . A beverage container holder for holding a beverage can or bottle comprising:
 a mug, configured to hold a beverage container, including:
 an inner cylindrical cavity sized to receive a beverage container; and 
 a cylindrical shell composed of:
 an inner layer; 
 a middle layer composed of a substantially liquid impermeable material and substantially enclosing the inner layer; and 
 an outer layer substantially enclosing the middle layer; 
 
 a base member coupled to an end of the cylindrical shell; and 
 a handle member coupled to the cylindrical shell; 
 wherein the end of the cylindrical shell opposite the base member includes a first split; and 
   a beverage container securing system, configured to secure the beverage container inside the cylindrical portion, including:
 a hole selectively disposed through the cylindrical shell; 
 a tab coupled to the cylindrical shell, substantially covering the hole, including an adhesive material on the tab's inner side, configured to stick to a beverage container inside the inner cylindrical cavity. 
   
   
   
       2 . The beverage holder of  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical shell includes a second split, configured to ease the fit of a beverage container inside the inner cylindrical cavity. 
   
   
       3 . The beverage holder of  claim 1 , wherein the outer surface of the cylindrical shell includes logotype selectively disposed thereon. 
   
   
       4 . The beverage holder of  claim 1 , wherein the base member includes opposing curved openings into the inner cylindrical cavity. 
   
   
       5 . The beverage container holder of  claim 1 , further comprising a folding system, configured to enable compact storage of multiple beverage container holders, the folding system including:
 a first crease transversely disposed along the base member;   a second crease longitudinally disposed along the cylindrical shell; and   a third creased longitudinally disposed opposite the second crease, along the cylindrical shell.   
   
   
       6 . A beverage container holder for holding a beverage can or bottle consisting essentially of:
 a mug, configured to hold a beverage container, including:
 an inner cylindrical cavity sized to receive a beverage container; and 
 a cylindrical shell composed of:
 an inner layer; 
 a middle layer composed of a substantially liquid impermeable material [plastic wrap] and substantially enclosing the inner layer; and 
 an outer layer substantially enclosing the middle layer; 
 
 a base member coupled to an end of the cylindrical shell; and 
 a handle member coupled to the cylindrical shell; 
 wherein the end of the cylindrical shell opposite the base member includes a first split; and 
   a beverage container securing system, configured to secure the beverage container inside the inner cylindrical cavity, including:
 a hole selectively disposed through the cylindrical shell; 
 a tab coupled to the cylindrical shell, substantially covering the hole, including an adhesive material on the tab's inner side, configured to stick to a beverage container inside the inner cylindrical cavity. 
   
   
   
       7 . The beverage holder of  claim 6 , wherein the cylindrical shell includes a second split, configured to ease the fit of a beverage container inside the inner cylindrical cavity. 
   
   
       8 . The beverage holder of  claim 6 , wherein the outer surface of the cylindrical shell includes logotype selectively disposed thereon. 
   
   
       9 . The beverage holder of  claim 6 , wherein the base member includes opposing curved openings into the inner cylindrical cavity. 
   
   
       10 . The beverage container holder of  claim 6 , further comprising a folding system, configured to enable compact storage of multiple beverage container holders, the folding system including:
 a first crease transversely disposed along the base member;   a second crease longitudinally disposed along the cylindrical shell   a third creased longitudinally disposed opposite the second crease, along the cylindrical shell.
