A magnetic object holder is a device for releasably attaching an object to a ferromagnetic surface. The device can include an insulated flexible sleeve defining an interior space in which the object is removably receivable. The sleeve grips the object in an interference fit when the object is received in the interior space. One or more magnets secured to a portion of the sleeve enables the sleeve to be releasably attached to the ferromagnetic surface while the object is received in the interior space.

A method for forming a device that is releasably attachable to a ferromagnetic surface comprises providing an object formed from one or more flexible or compressible materials, positioning a magnet between the object and a heat-activated adhesive patch, and applying heat and pressure to the patch to fuse the patch to the object around the magnet.

A protective bottle enclosure includes a container having a neck, a shoulder, and a body, wherein the neck includes a plurality of threaded portions and a plurality of planar portions located intermediate the plurality of threaded portions. The enclosure further includes a removable cap from which extends a first threaded portion and a second threaded portion, the first and second threaded portions being located along opposing sides of the sidewall, and a first planar portion and a second planar portion disposed adjacent and between the first and second threaded portions. The first and second threaded portions of the cap are aligned with the plurality of planar portions along the neck when the cap is axially inserted into the container.

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.

A shock absorbing device to protect cryogenically frozen biological material includes an outer sleeve and a foam sleeve. The outer sleeve defines an interior volume and has an opening configured to pass a biological material container into the interior volume. The foam sleeve is in the interior volume and has an opening and an interior cavity. The opening of the foam sleeve is aligned with the opening of the outer sleeve to pass the biological material container into the interior cavity. In another embodiment, the shock absorbing device includes a first layer, a foam layer, and a liner layer to retain the foam layer. A first side of the foam layer is adjacent and facing a second side of the first layer. A first side of the liner layer is adjacent and facing a second side of the foam layer.

A thermally insulating beverage jacket is provided. The thermally insulating beverage jacket includes a first flexible tubular-shaped portion having first and second surfaces disposed opposite to one another. The first surface defines a first interior region with a first diameter in a first operational position of the thermally insulating beverage jacket. The first flexible tubular-shaped portion is centered about a longitudinal axis. The thermally insulating beverage jacket includes a second flexible tubular-shaped portion coupled to the second surface of the first flexible tubular-shaped portion and having at least first and second air gaps therebetween in the first operational position of the thermally insulating beverage jacket.
