Covered cooler assembly

Abstract

A cooler assembly comprises a cylindrical main body having an open first end and a closed second end, a first attachment means extending from an outer surface of the cylindrical main body, a cylindrical cover having an open first end and a closed second end, a second attachment means extending from an outer surface of the cylindrical cover, and an elongate attachment member coupled on a first end to the first attachment means and on a second end to the second attachment means, the attachment member connecting the cylindrical main body to the cylindrical cover. The open first end of the cylindrical cover is structured to be positioned adjacent to the open first end of the cylindrical main body to enclose a beverage container positioned within the cylindrical main body.

1 . A cooler assembly comprising:

         2 . The cooler assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment member is a string. 
     
     
         3 . The cooler assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the attachment member is formed from vulcanized rubber. 
     
     
         4 . The cooler assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical cover has an internal diameter that is equal to an internal diameter of the cylindrical main body. 
     
     
         5 . The cooler assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical main body is formed from plastic. 
     
     
         6 . The cooler assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the cylindrical main body further includes an insulation layer. 
     
     
         7 . The cooler assembly of  claim 6 , wherein the cylindrical cover is formed from plastic. 
     
     
         8 . The cooler assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the cylindrical cover further includes an insulation layer. 
     
     
         9 . The cooler assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical main body is formed from extruded polystyrene foam. 
     
     
         10 . The cooler assembly of  claim 9 , wherein the cylindrical cover is formed from extruded polystyrene foam. 
     
     
         11 . The cooler assembly of  claim 1  further comprising a label positioned on an outer surface of the cylindrical main body. 
     
     
         12 . The cooler assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical main body has an internal diameter within a range between about 60 mm and about 70 mm. 
     
     
         13 . The cooler assembly of  claim 12 , wherein the internal diameter of the cylindrical main body is about 65 mm. 
     
     
         14 . The cooler assembly of  claim 1 , wherein an internal diameter of the cylindrical main body is substantially similar to a diameter of the beverage container to create a friction fit therebetween. 
     
     
         15 . A cooler assembly comprising:
 a cylindrical main body having an open first end and a closed second end;   a cover having an open first end and a closed second end, wherein the open first end of the cover is structured to be positioned adjacent to the open first end of the cylindrical main body to provide an enclosed chamber therebetween; and   an elongate attachment member extending between and coupling the cylindrical main body to the cover.   
     
     
         16 . The cooler assembly of  claim 15 , wherein the cylindrical main body is sized to receive a bottle therein. 
     
     
         17 . The cooler assembly of  claim 15 , wherein the cover has a varying internal diameter that is shaped to receive a top portion of a bottle positioned within the cylindrical main body. 
     
     
         18 . The cooler assembly of  claim 15 :
 wherein the cover is cylindrical and has an internal diameter that is equal to an internal diameter of the cylindrical main body, and   wherein a first portion of the enclosed chamber is formed within the cylindrical main body and a second portion of the enclosed chamber is formed within the cylindrical cover.   
     
     
         19 . A method of insulating a beverage container comprising:
 providing a cooler assembly comprising:
 an insulated main body having an open first end and a closed second end; 
 an insulated cover having an open first end and a closed second end; and 
 an elongate attachment member extending between and coupling the insulated main body to the insulated cover; 
 wherein the open first end of the insulated cover is structured to be positioned adjacent to the open first end of the insulated main body to form an enclosed insulation chamber therebetween. 
   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising:
 positioning a bottom portion of a beverage container within an interior of the insulated main body; and   enclosing the beverage container within the cooler assembly by placing the insulated cover over a top portion of the beverage container.
