DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] In the following detailed description, reference is made to specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that the embodiments may be combined, or that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural, logical and electrical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0027] As a preface to the detailed description, it should be noted that, as used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms a, an and the include plural referents, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0028] Referring to FIG. 1, it shows a sleeve 1 that is made from soft/printable material that is light weight and highly absorbent and is designed to be worn around neck of a person. The sleeve is collapsible into a flat panel configuration when not in use. The sleeve has three pockets, which can be closed by using Velcro or zipper 2. The sleeve can hold up to two beverage containers 3 inside pockets near its ends. It also holds cold or hot packs or personal belongings inside a pocket located at the middle portion of the elongated sleeve. The sleeve has main function of insulating beverage in a highly Green and Biodegradable disposable bag 5 that is designed to be held inside the collapsible insulation bag holder or container 3 having a threaded collar 4. The disposable bag can be filled by a user at home or supplied in a pre-filled bag. The sleeve also offers unlimited marketing capabilities at eye level.

[0029] One neoprene beverage container 3 can be inserted on one side of the sleeve near each end of the sleeve 1 while using the other side can hold user's personal belongings or items. The neoprene beverage container 3 can be removed from the sleeve and used as a hand squeeze portable sports bottle as well.

[0030] The Biodegradable bag 5 in most compost situations may biodegrade within 40-60 days.

A cap 6 is provided to cover and seal the biodegradable bag 5 and threads onto the collar 4 of the neoprene beverage holder 3. The cap has a female quick release vale 7 that designed to be protruding, which allows quick switching of hose assembly.

[0031] The hose assembly comprises a male quick release 8 which snaps easily onto the cap, thus allowing the user to drink beverage. The male quick release is designed to have 90 degree bend in it and is connected to a bendable hose 9. The beverage coming out of neoprene insulation bag holder 3 goes through the cap 6 into the male quick release, from there into bendable hose. The user is provided access to this beverage by one way bite valve 10. The marketing area 11 is also shown in the FIGURE along the length of elongated sleeve.

[0032] The marketing capabilities are endless and so are applications such as walkers, boaters, hunters, hikers, stadium goers, Nascar fans, Postal/Fed-Ex/UPS, Fisherman, beach goers, factory workers, construction workers, disabled people and basically any walk of life who wants a hands free way to drink and keep cool/warm while being able to carry cell phone or any other personal items.
