Abstract
A flotation device used to house beverages above a water surface that the user is occupying. The main body will be made from polyethylene (PE) or copolymer foam, with connector arms made of plastic attached to additional floatation balls (made of polyethylene or copolymer foam) all intended to keep the beverage holder above the water surface. Alternative versions include an attachment to a user to prevent floating separation between device and user. In kit form the flotation device has four connector arms each with a flotation ball at one proximate end thereof and the distal end thereof being secured to the beverage holder.
Claims
1. A flotation device used to accommodate a single beverage container, comprising of a cylindrical chamber made from either Polyethylene (PE) or copolymer foam, whereas one end is closed as a base, and an opposite end is open to accept a single beverage container; the foam is for floating and insulation purposes; the base having four symmetrically placed holes punctured into the side of the base of the cylindrical chamber; an auxiliary hole punctured directly from a top side through to a bottom side in a middle of the base; four spherical floats made from either said PE or copolymer foam; four connector arms made of thermoplastic used to connect to the base into the symmetrically placed holes and the spherical floats; a strap connectable to a user and the device through the directly punched hole; and the device accommodating the single beverage container preserving a cold temperature of a single beverage container.
