Beverage Flotation Device

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a beverage flotation device that uses attached empty containers as a primary means of flotation. The beverage flotation device includes a hollow cylinder comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, the hollow cylinder configured to securely accommodate a beverage container; and a container attachment point connected to the outer surface, the container attachment point comprising a plurality of threads configured to receive a mating screw-top container.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A beverage flotation device, comprising:
 a hollow cylinder comprising an inner surface and an outer surface;
 the hollow cylinder configured to securely accommodate a beverage container; and 
   a container attachment point connected to the outer surface, the container attachment point comprising a plurality of threads configured to receive a cooperating screw-top container.   
     
     
         2 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 1 , further comprising at least three container attachment points connected to the outer surface, each of the at least three container attachment points comprising a plurality of threads configured to receive a cooperating screw-top container. 
     
     
         3 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 2 , wherein the at least three container attachment points are spaced equidistantly around a circumference of the outer surface. 
     
     
         4 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 1 , wherein the container attachment point is configured to receive a cooperating screw-top container substantially perpendicularly oriented to a longitudinal axis of the hollow cylinder. 
     
     
         5 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 1 , wherein the container attachment point is configured to receive a cooperating screw-top container oriented in a substantially downward direction. 
     
     
         6 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of threads are configured to receive a screw-top conforming to at least one of a 28 mm PCO 1810 standard and a 28 mm PCO 1881 standard. 
     
     
         7 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 1 , further comprising means for attaching a tether. 
     
     
         8 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 1 , further comprising a raised ring connected to and protruding downward from a bottom portion of the hollow cylinder. 
     
     
         9 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 8 , further comprising a top lip connected to a top portion of the hollow cylinder, wherein the raised ring is configured to securely interconnect with a top lip of a second beverage flotation device. 
     
     
         10 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 1 , wherein the hollow cylinder further comprises a bottom member. 
     
     
         11 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 10 , wherein the bottom member defines a hole. 
     
     
         12 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 10 , wherein the bottom member defines a plurality of holes configured to form a mesh pattern. 
     
     
         13 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 1 , wherein the inner surface comprises an insert configured to securely accommodate the beverage container. 
     
     
         14 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 13 , wherein the insert is inflatable. 
     
     
         15 . The beverage flotation device of  claim 1 , wherein the beverage flotation device is substantially plastic.
