Abstract

A device for securely wrapping around a beverage container for the purpose of insulating and carrying it, the beverage insulating device for also securely carrying firearms ammunition cartridges.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An ammunition-holding beverage insulator comprising:
 an insulating sleeve for wrapping around a cylindrical beverage can, wherein the sleeve has an inner surface that faces the can and an opposing outer surface;   a carrying handle; and   a plurality of loop pockets disposed along the sleeve outer surface, the loop pockets for retaining ammunition cartridges.   
     
     
         2 . The beverage insulator of  claim 1 , wherein said loop pockets are generally cylindrical enclosures having open tops and bottoms, wherein their respective top rims retain the flange that resides along the rim of an ammunition cartridge. 
     
     
         3 . The beverage insulator of  claim 1 , wherein said insulating sleeve is fabricated from insulating material. 
     
     
         4 . The beverage insulator of  claim 3 , wherein said insulating sleeve material is selected from the following group: neoprene, foam, vinyl and polyester. 
     
     
         5 . The beverage insulator of  claim 1 , wherein said insulating sleeve is a panel having means for fastening the panel to itself in order to form a cylindrical enclosure. 
     
     
         6 . The beverage insulator of  claim 5 , wherein said fastening means comprises at least one of the following: (a) hook and loop material; (b) a snap button(s); and (c) a zipper. 
     
     
         7 . The beverage insulator of  claim 2 , wherein said ammunition cartridge is a shotgun shell. 
     
     
         8 . An ammunition-holding beverage insulator comprising:
 an insulating sleeve for wrapping around a beverage can, wherein the sleeve is a laterally elongate panel having an inner surface that faces the can and an opposing outer surface, wherein means for fastening the panel to itself so as to substantially form a cylinder are disposed near both lateral ends, and wherein this fastening means enables the sleeve cylinder to be circumferentially adjustable to retain beverage cans having a range of diameters;   a carrying handle;   a strip for retaining ammunition cartridges along the sleeve outer surface, wherein the strip is discontinuously attached to the sleeve so as to form multiple loop pockets within each of which an ammunition cartridge can be retained.   
     
     
         9 . The beverage insulator of  claim 8 , wherein said loop pockets are generally cylindrical enclosures having open tops and bottoms, wherein their respective top rims retain the flange that resides along the rim of an ammunition cartridge. 
     
     
         10 . The beverage insulator of  claim 8 , wherein said retaining strip is fabricated of elastic material, whereby said loop pockets are circumferentially elastically expandable. 
     
     
         11 . The beverage insulator of  claim 8 , wherein said insulating sleeve is fabricated from insulating material. 
     
     
         12 . The beverage insulator of  claim 11 , wherein said insulating sleeve material is selected from the following group: neoprene, foam, vinyl and polyester. 
     
     
         13 . The beverage insulator of  claim 8 , wherein said fastening means comprises laterally elongate strips of hook and loop material, wherein the lateral lengths of such strips enables circumferential adjustment of said sleeve cylinder. 
     
     
         14 . The beverage insulator of  claim 9 , wherein said ammunition cartridge is a shotgun shell. 
     
     
         15 . An ammunition-holding beverage insulator comprising:
 an insulating sleeve for wrapping around a beverage can, wherein the sleeve is a laterally elongate panel having an inner surface that faces the can and an opposing outer surface, wherein means for fastening the panel to itself so as to substantially form a cylinder are disposed near both lateral ends, and wherein this fastening means enables the sleeve cylinder to be circumferentially adjustable to retain beverage cans having a range of diameters;   a carrying handle; and   loop pockets disposed along the sleeve outer surface, the loop pockets for retaining ammunition cartridges, wherein at least two of the loop pockets are diametrically sized to retain different sized such cartridges.   
     
     
         16 . The beverage insulator of  claim 15 , wherein said loop pockets are substantially cylindrical enclosures having open tops and bottoms, wherein their respective top rims retain the flange that resides along the rim of an ammunition cartridge. 
     
     
         17 . The beverage insulator of  claim 15 , wherein said insulating sleeve is fabricated from insulating material. 
     
     
         18 . The beverage insulator of  claim 17 , wherein said insulating sleeve material is selected from the following group: neoprene, foam, vinyl and polyester. 
     
     
         19 . The beverage insulator of  claim 15 , wherein said fastening means comprises hook and loop material. 
     
     
         20 . The beverage insulator of  claim 16 , wherein said ammunition cartridge is a shotgun shell.
