Abstract

A beverage insulator comprising a top thermally insulating portion for receiving a beverage container therein, a bottom supportive portion attached to the thermally insulating portion, and at least one beverage container opener integrated in the bottom supportive portion, wherein the at least one opener is recessed from a bottom surface of the supportive portion.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A beverage insulator, comprising:
 a thermally insulating portion for receiving a beverage container therein;   a bottom supportive portion attached to the thermally insulating portion; and   at least one beverage container opener integrated in the bottom supportive portion.   
   
   
       2 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one beverage container opener is recessed within a bottom surface defined by the bottom supportive portion. 
   
   
       3 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottom supportive portion defines a gripping surface. 
   
   
       4 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one beverage container opener includes a pry-type opener. 
   
   
       5 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one beverage container opener includes a twist off-type opener. 
   
   
       6 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 1 , wherein the thermally insulating portion is made from at least one of rubber, neoprene and foam. 
   
   
       7 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottom supportive portion is made from plastic. 
   
   
       8 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 1 , further comprising a means for opening and closing the thermally insulating portion to insert and remove the beverage container. 
   
   
       9 . A beverage insulator for thermally insulating a beverage container, comprising:
 a flexible thermally insulating portion for receiving the beverage container therein;   a hardened supportive portion attached to the thermally insulating portion for providing a supportive base for the beverage insulator; and   at least one beverage container opener integrated within the hardened supportive portion and recessed from a bottom surface defined by the bottom supportive portion.   
   
   
       10 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 9 , wherein the bottom supportive portion defines a gripping surface. 
   
   
       11 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one beverage container opener includes a pry-type opener. 
   
   
       12 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 9 , wherein the at least one beverage container opener includes a twist off-type opener. 
   
   
       13 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 9 , wherein the flexible thermally insulating portion is made from at least one of rubber, neoprene and foam. 
   
   
       14 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 9 , wherein the bottom supportive portion is made from plastic. 
   
   
       15 . The beverage insulator according to  claim 9 , further comprising a means for opening and closing the thermally insulating portion to insert and remove the beverage container.
