Can cooler

Abstract

A can cooler includes a housing having a threaded mating mechanism disposed on a lowermost region of inner sidewalls of the housing and a bottom lid releasably secured to a bottom region of the housing, the bottom lid including an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion defining a seal circumferentially disposed therein, wherein the seal engages a can received within a top cavity of the housing. The lower portion of the bottom lid includes threads configured to releasably couple with the threaded mating mechanism of the housing. Further, a bottom surface of the can contacts a top surface of the bottom lid such that the seal engages a lowermost region of the can.

         2 . The can cooler of  claim 1 , wherein the seal is positioned approximately ½ of an inch from a top surface of the bottom lid. 
     
     
         3 . The can cooler of  claim 1 , wherein the seal is positioned approximately ¼ of an inch from a top surface of the bottom lid. 
     
     
         4 . The can cooler of  claim 1 , wherein the lower portion of the bottom lid includes threads configured to releasably couple with the threaded mating mechanism of the housing. 
     
     
         5 . The can cooler of  claim 1 , wherein a bottom surface of the can contacts a top surface of the bottom lid such that the seal engages a lowermost region of the can. 
     
     
         6 . The can cooler of  claim 1 , wherein the upper portion of the bottom lid is vertically aligned with sidewalls of the housing and wherein the seal is vertically aligned with the top cavity of the housing. 
     
     
         7 . A can cooler comprising:
 a housing having a threaded mating mechanism disposed at a distal end thereof such that the threaded mating mechanism extends beyond a distalmost end of the housing; and   a bottom lid releasably secured to a bottom region of the housing, the bottom lid including an outer wall and an inner wall, the outer wall defining threads on an inner surface thereof and the inner wall defining a seal circumferentially disposed therein, wherein the seal engages a can received within a top cavity of the housing.   
     
     
         8 . The can cooler of  claim 7 , wherein the seal is positioned approximately ½ of an inch from a top surface of the bottom lid. 
     
     
         9 . The can cooler of  claim 7 , wherein the seal is positioned approximately ¼ of an inch from a top surface of the bottom lid. 
     
     
         10 . The can cooler of  claim 7 , wherein the threads of the outer wall are configured to releasably couple with the threaded mating mechanism of the housing. 
     
     
         11 . The can cooler of  claim 7 , wherein a bottom surface of the can contacts a top surface of the bottom lid such that the seal engages a lowermost region of the can. 
     
     
         12 . The can cooler of  claim 7 , wherein the upper portion of the bottom lid is vertically aligned with sidewalls of the housing and wherein the seal is vertically aligned with the top cavity of the housing. 
     
     
         13 . The can cooler of  claim 7 , wherein the threaded mating mechanism of the housing is securedly positioned between the outer wall and the inner wall. 
     
     
         14 . The can cooler of  claim 7 , wherein the inner wall has a first height and the outer wall has a second height, wherein the first height is greater than the second height. 
     
     
         15 . A can cooler comprising:
 a housing;   an inner sleeve securedly fixed within the housing; and   a seal circumferentially disposed within the inner sleeve, wherein the seal engages a can received within a top cavity of the housing.   
     
     
         16 . The can cooler of  claim 15 , wherein the seal is positioned approximately ½ of an inch from a bottom surface of the inner sleeve. 
     
     
         17 . The can cooler of  claim 15 , wherein the seal is positioned approximately ¼ of an inch from a bottom surface of the inner sleeve. 
     
     
         18 . The can cooler of  claim 15 , wherein a bottom surface of the can contacts a bottom surface of the inner sleeve such that the seal engages a lowermost region of the can. 
     
     
         19 . The can cooler of  claim 15 , wherein the seal includes a plurality of seals. 
     
     
         20 . The can cooler of  claim 15 , wherein the seal is a segmented seal.
