Insulated cup sleeve with foldable hangers

Abstract

The insulated cup sleeve with foldable hangers disclosed herein may comprise a plurality of folding hangers that may be extended or retracted so that the device, and a cup contained therein, may be suspended from an appropriate surface. The insulated cup sleeve with foldable hangers may further comprise a disposable, low cost material of construction so that it is easy and inexpensive to make, while also having a minimized impact on the environment. The device may be made as a single strip of material containing the perforations for the hangers, and its first end and second end may be adhered to one another to form a ring into which a cup may be inserted.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An insulated cup sleeve with foldable hangers, comprising:
 a main body; and   a plurality of folding hangers;   wherein said main body comprises an outer surface, an inner surface, an upper edge, a lower edge, a first end, and a second end; and   wherein said plurality of folding handers are attached to said main body.   
     
     
         2 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said first end of said main body is attached to said second end of said main body to form a substantially cylindrical shape.   
     
     
         3 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said upper edge of said main body is longer than said lower edge of said main body to form a substantially cylindrical shape having a wider top opening and a narrower bottom opening.   
     
     
         4 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said plurality of folding hangers are integrated into a thickness of said main body; and   wherein said plurality of folding hangers are defined by a plurality of perforations.   
     
     
         5 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 4 ,
 wherein said plurality of folding hangers are separated from said main body along said plurality of perforations by an applied force; and   wherein said plurality of folding hangers are reversibly folded at an angle relative to said main body.   
     
     
         6 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said main body further comprises a plurality of layers.   
     
     
         7 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said main body further comprises an insulating layer.   
     
     
         8 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said main body further comprises a corrugated layer.   
     
     
         9 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said main body further comprises a textured layer.   
     
     
         10 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said main body comprises a disposable material of construction.   
     
     
         11 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said main body comprises a biodegradable material of construction.   
     
     
         12 . The insulated cup sleeve of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said main body comprises a reusable material of construction.
