Insulated Pocket System

Abstract

An insulated pocket system for holding and insulating a beverage container within a pocket of a garment includes a beverage container and a garment with an outer surface. A pocket is coupled to the outer surface of the garment. The pocket has an interior space. The interior space has a size that is complementary to a size of the beverage container such that the beverage container is positionable within the pocket. A liner is positioned in the interior space. The liner covers an interior surface of the pocket. The liner includes an insulated material that can insulate the contents of the beverage container from outside temperatures when the beverage container is positioned within the pocket.

1 . A beverage insulating system comprising:
 a beverage container;   a garment having an outer surface;   a pocket being coupled to the outer surface of the garment, the pocket having an interior space, the interior space having a size being complementary to a size of the beverage container wherein the beverage container is positionable within the pocket, the pocket including a bottom wall and a peripheral wall being coupled to and extending upwardly from the bottom wall to define the interior space, the peripheral wall having an upper edge defining an opening distal to the bottom wall to facilitate access to the interior space;   a liner being positioned in the interior space, the liner covering an interior surface of the pocket, the liner comprising an insulated material being configured to insulate contents of the beverage container from outside temperatures when the beverage container is positioned within the pocket; and   a band being positioned between the pocket and the liner, the band comprising a resiliently compressible material being configured to secure the beverage container within the pocket, the band being positioned between the bottom wall and the opening of the pocket wherein a distance between the bottom wall and the band is less than a distance between the opening and the band.   
     
     
         2 . The beverage insulating system of  claim 1 , the garment further comprising a front side, wherein the pocket is positioned on the front side of the garment such that the beverage container is configured to be accessible to a user when the user is wearing the garment. 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The beverage insulating system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall extends perpendicularly outward from the outer surface of the garment. 
     
     
         6 . The beverage insulating system of  claim 1 , wherein the peripheral wall extends perpendicularly upward from the bottom wall. 
     
     
         7 . The beverage insulating system of  claim 1 , wherein the peripheral wall has a height exceeding a length of the bottom wall. 
     
     
         8 . The beverage insulating system of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom wall has a shape with a pair of straight sides and a pair of curved sides extending between the pair of straight sides, each curved side of the pair of curved sides being elongated relative to the pair of straight sides wherein the shape is configured to receive a base surface of the beverage container. 
     
     
         9 . The beverage insulating system of  claim 1 , wherein the liner covers an interior surface of the bottom wall and the peripheral wall of the pocket. 
     
     
         10 . The beverage insulating system of  claim 1 , wherein the liner covers an interior surface of the peripheral wall of the pocket. 
     
     
         11 . The beverage insulating system of  claim 1 , wherein the liner covers an interior surface of the bottom wall of the pocket. 
     
     
         12 . The beverage insulation system of  claim 1 , wherein the liner covers a portion of the outer surface of the garment being positioned within the interior space. 
     
     
         13 . (canceled) 
     
     
         14 . The beverage insulation system of  claim 1 , wherein the band is coupled to the pocket and the liner. 
     
     
         15 . The beverage insulation system of  claim 1 , wherein the band is coupled to the pocket. 
     
     
         16 . The beverage insulation system of  claim 1 , wherein the band is coupled to the liner. 
     
     
         17 . A beverage insulating system comprising:
 a beverage container, the beverage container including one of a bottle and a can;   a garment having an outer surface, the garment having a front side, the garment comprising a shirt, the shirt being sleeveless wherein the shirt comprises a vest;   a pocket being coupled to the outer surface of the garment, the pocket comprising a bottom wall and a peripheral wall being coupled to and extending upwardly from the bottom wall to define an interior space, the peripheral wall having an upper edge defining an opening distal to the bottom wall to facilitate access to the interior space, the interior space having a size being complementary to a size of the beverage container wherein the beverage container is positionable within the pocket, the bottom wall extending perpendicularly outward from the outer surface of the garment, the peripheral wall extending perpendicularly upward from the bottom wall, the peripheral wall having a height exceeding a length of the bottom wall;   a liner being positioned in the interior space, the liner covering an interior surface of the bottom wall and the peripheral wall of the pocket, the liner covering a portion of the outer surface of the garment wherein the portion of the outer surface of the garment is positioned within the interior space, the liner comprising an insulated material being configured to insulate contents of the beverage container from outside temperatures when the beverage container is positioned within the pocket;   wherein the pocket is positioned on the front side of the garment such that the beverage container is configured to be accessible to a user when the user is wearing the garment; and   a band being coupled to at least one of the pocket and the liner, the band being positioned between the pocket and the liner, the band comprising a resiliently compressible material being configured to secure the beverage container within the pocket, the band being positioned between the bottom wall and the opening of the pocket wherein a distance between the bottom wall and the band is less than a distance between the opening and the band.
