Beverage Keg Cooler Cover

Abstract

One embodiment of a flexible, reflective, insulating beverage keg cover. The cover is comprised of a metallized biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (Metallized boPET) material ( 1 ), an open bottom ( 4 ), and an aperture on top ( 2 ). The aperture ( 2 ) provides an opening through which a beverage keg tap ( 3 ) can protrude to allow for beverage dispensation while the cover coaxially covers a beverage keg ( 15 ). Metallized boPET material is light, flexible, insulating, and reflects radiant heat, making the cover easy to use while helping to extend the period of time during which a beverage keg can be kept cool while away from a refrigeration source. Other embodiments are described.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An insulating configuration of a sufficient size to accommodate a beverage keg, comprising:
 (a) a cover of a flexible, reflective material shaped around a hollow having an open bottom and a closed top   (b) an aperture in said closed top   whereas said cover coaxially covers said beverage keg and said aperture accommodates a protruding beverage keg tap allowing for beverage dispensation.   
     
     
         2 . The configuration of  claim 1  wherein said cover is comprised of a metallized biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate material. 
     
     
         3 . The configuration of  claim 1  wherein said cover is comprised of two sheets of material joined together. 
     
     
         4 . The configuration of  claim 1  wherein said cover employs a plurality of adhesive tape reinforcements. 
     
     
         5 . The configuration of  claim 1  wherein said open bottom is approximately the full width of said cover. 
     
     
         6 . The configuration of  claim 1  wherein said aperture is smaller in dimension than the dimension of said open bottom. 
     
     
         7 . The configuration of  claim 1  wherein said aperture is a slit. 
     
     
         8 . An insulating, spill resistant beverage keg configuration, comprising:
 (a) a hollow cover of a moisture repelling material having an open bottom and a closed top   (b) an aperture in said closed top   whereas said cover coaxially covers said beverage keg, providing an insulating, moisture repelling barrier between said beverage keg and an ambient environment, and said aperture accommodates a protruding beverage keg tap.   
     
     
         9 . The configuration of  claim 8  wherein said cover is comprised of a metallized biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate material. 
     
     
         10 . The configuration of  claim 8  wherein said cover is comprised of two sheets of material joined together. 
     
     
         11 . The configuration of  claim 8  wherein said cover employs a plurality of adhesive tape reinforcements.
