The universal insulating binder limits the heat transfer process of a variety of beverage containers. The universal insulating binder includes a coiled cuff body and an insulating layer. The coiled cuff body defines the configuration of the insulating layer and secures the insulating layer against the exterior of a variety of beverage containers. The insulating layer presses against an engaged beverage container and limits the heat transfer between the engaged beverage container and the surrounding environment. The coiled cuff body may include a bendable cuff-shaped shell and a torsion spring or the coiled cuff body may be the torsion spring. The bendable cuff-shaped shell houses the torsion spring. The torsion spring defines the configuration of the universal insulating binder. The universal insulating binder may further include a plurality of non-slip members. The plurality of non-slip members directly increases the friction between the engaged beverage container and the coiled cuff body.

Transport of containers for biologic products in secure thermal isolation may be facilitated by a containment apparatus. The containment apparatus may include a first component and a second component. The first component may comprise one or more sidewalls that may form an enclosed volume of the first component. The enclosed volume may be fluidly sealed from an environment surrounding the first component and at least partially filled with cooling media. The first component may comprise one or more recessed wells configured to receive at least part of individual containers. At least part of individual recessed wells may come into contact with cooling media within the enclosed volume to facilitate heat transfer between the cooling media and individual containers disposed in individual recessed wells.

A container holder including a body portion having a first end, a second end, an inner surface, and an outer surface, wherein an interior region of the body portion is defined as a generally axial opening between the first end and the second end, and at least one retaining element disposed along the inner surface of the body portion, wherein a container is received within the generally axially opening of the body portion, and the at least one retaining element exerts a force against the container to retain the container within the generally axial opening. Furthermore, an associated method is also provided.

An insulated tank bag that may fasten to a motorcycle fuel tank to hydrate the rider with ice cold water/fluids while operating their motorcycle. In various examples, the beverage container can be used on street bikes, off road vehicle, ATV's, dirt bikes, etc. The insulated tank bag may include, for example, a three-liter cube-shaped hydration water reservoir/bladder for containing ice and cold fluid for an extended period of time. The hydration water reservoir may be provided with a hydration hose attached to the reservoir/bladder, extending out of the bag to the exterior side of the tank bag. The hydration hose may be secured by a retractable reel to the side of the tank bag. The hydration hose may be accessible to the rider by his non-throttle hand without removing their helmet and inserting it in their mouth under or through the helmet head protection. Once a rider is hydrated they can release the hydration hose, which will retract to its fixed position on the side of the tank bag.

An adjustable thermally insulating beverage jacket has two fastener portions disposed at opposite ends of a flexible body portion, which can be attached to each other in order to accommodate a beverage container. The flexible body portion is made of a thermally insulating material to keep beverages cold or warm. A handle insertion portion at one end of the flexible body portion allows use with beverage containers that have handles. A base connected to the bottom edge of the flexible body portion provides a support surface for the bottom of the beverage container.

A beverage container cover is disclosed herein and includes: a solid strip stabilizing component, a cover component, wherein the solid strip stabilizing component is hingeably coupled to the cover component, and a handle component that is operatively coupled to the stabilizing component and the cover component. A beverage container cover is disclosed herein and includes: a solid strip stabilizing component, a cover component, wherein the solid strip stabilizing component is hingeably coupled to the handle component, and a handle component that is operatively coupled to the stabilizing component and the cover component. In addition, a beverage container cover system is disclosed that includes: a beverage container cover, a beverage container, and an insulating cover, wherein the beverage container is surrounded in part by the insulating cover and wherein the solid strip stabilizing component of the beverage container cover is located in the space between the beverage container and the insulating cover.

A drinking vessel holder assembly comprising: a base comprising a receiving portion for receiving a lower part of a vessel, the base being provided with one or more connecting portions located along the base; one or more frame members wherein each of said frame members comprises respective locking portions adapted for connection with one or more connecting portions of the base; wherein during use, in an assembled configuration, locking portions of the frame members are adapted to be coupled with respective connecting portions of the base such that the frame members extend upwardly relative to the base to form a vessel holder frame that defines an internal volume to receive the vessel therein.

A musical insulated beverage cozy or container is formed from a unitary member designed to embody an electrical sound synthesizer component. This sound synthesizer component is connected via insulated wire, on the interior of the embodiment, to an on-demand on/off button which the user can press to play or stop pre-loaded or user-recorded music or messages.

A lid is provided which permits a user to drink from a beverage can suspended within the interior of a disposable coffee cup. The user can thereby drink from the beverage can without the user's lips touching the can surface. Also it appears to an observer that the user is drinking from the disposable cup, not the beverage can, and also the beverage can is insulated to keep it cold. According to one embodiment, the lid has a standard outer circumference which engages and seals with the rim of the disposable cup. It also has an inner circular attachment ring attached to the lower inner surface of the lid which has tabs to grasp the rim of the beverage can and form an upper chamber through which the beverage can flow from the beverage can opening to the lid's drinking aperture. A gasket seals the circumference of the circular ring against the beer can. Thus the beverage can is suspended in the interior of the coffee cup and the beverage flows from the beverage can through the lid aperture when the cup is tipped.

The present invention provides a disposable insulator for a cup. The disposable insulator includes a sleeve including an insulating material to provide thermal insulation to the exterior of the cup, the sleeve having a top edge, a bottom edge, an inner surface, and an outer surface having a thickness therebetween, the sleeve being tapered from the top edge to the bottom edge and configured to surround at least a portion of the cup, and at least one finger pad made of the insulating material having a bottom edge, the finger pad being separable from the remainder of the sleeve and movable from a first position to a second position, in the first position, the bottom edge of the finger pad being proximate to the bottom edge of the sleeve, and in the second position, the finger pad being separated from at least a portion of the remainder of the sleeve and movable relative to the remainder of the sleeve, in the second position the finger pad being foldable relative to the sleeve with the bottom edge of the finger pad positionable proximate to the top edge of the sleeve, wherein, when in the second position, the folding of the finger pad increases the thickness of the insulation material present at the finger pad to create an area of increased insulation on the sleeve to provide additional thermal insulation to a portion of the exterior of the cup.
