Abstract
An insulated glass beverage wrap includes a sheet-like body having opposing ends that are connected by a top edge and a bottom edge. The body is made of an insulative material that can be stretched. The body has a first closure structure at one end of the wrap body and a second closure structure at the opposite, second end of the body. When the wrap is placed around a glass, the ends overlap, allowing the first and second closure structures to mate, thereby helping to retain the wrap on the glass. The ends are shaped to that the top edge of the wrap provides a space for a person to drink from the glass.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to beverage insulators, and, more particularly, relates to an adjustable and removable insulated wrap for various styles of beverage glassware.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are a number of beverage insulators on the market which are intended to surround a beverage container and both insulate the beverage as well as to provide a comfortable surface for the user, or drinker of the beverage, to hold. That is, the beverage insulator avoids condensation that would normally occur on the outside of a cold beverage container from wetting the hands of the person holding the insulated beverage. This is especially true when the beverage is being consumed outside in warm, humid weather. One of the most common beverage insulators is a cylindrical foam insulator sleeve that is sized to fit around a standard sized beverage can or bottle. For example, in the U.S. a 12-ounce can is a standard for soft drink, sparkling water, and beer, and these all have a common diameter and height. Thus, a foam sleeve, known by the common name “koozie,” can be sized to fit around the standard sized can or bottle. Similarly, there are elastic insulators for wine glasses or similar stemware called “woozies” that are sized for a standard sized glass. While these kinds of sleeves are very effective, they only fit well on one size of container. In addition, being in a sleeve configuration, they can be somewhat difficult to remove from a container.


A problem exists when it comes to other forms of beverage containers, and specifically beverage glasses. A beverage glass can be made of glass, or another material, can be configured in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Thus, a standard sized insulator would not fit on a variety of differently sized beverage glasses.


Therefore, a need exists to overcome the problems with the prior art as discussed above.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

While the specification concludes with claims defining the features of the invention that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the drawing figures, in which like reference numerals are carried forward. It is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which can be embodied in various forms.


The present invention provides a novel and efficient insulated beverage glass wrap. The term “glass” as used here can refer to beverage containers actually made of glass, but the term is meant more broadly to include beverage containers of different materials, including plastic beverageware. In general, the inventive insulated beverage wrap is configured to wrap around various differently shaped and sized beverage containers to keep the beverage at a desired temperature longer than if the glass is not wrapped, as well as to prevent condensation from creating water puddles on surfaces and wet hands of the person holding the glass. The disclosed inventive insulated glass beverage wrap is especially suited for cocktail and wine type glasses, which come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Accordingly, one advantage of the disclosed insulated glass beverage wrap is that it can fit a wide variety of differently-sized glasses.



FIG. 1A is a plan view of a first side 100 of an insulated glass beverage wrap, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. The insulated glass beverage wrap includes a body 102 that is made of an insulating material, such as, for example, synthetic foam rubber such as that sold under the trade name NEOPRENE. The body 102 can be made of a closed cell foam material that is resilient, and that can be stretched at least somewhat. The insulating material can be covered with a sheath of fabric, and the body 102 as a whole, including the sheath fabric, can stretch and return to its original shape once the released from the stretching force. The body 102 is, in a general, a sheet configuration, having a generally uniform thickness across the body 102. The thickness can vary based on a specific application, but it is contemplated that the body can be on the order of 1/16 of an inch to half an inch in thickness. Further, the material of the body 102 can include a moisture impermeable portion so as to prevent moisture from passing through the body 102. The body 102 has an elongated direction, from a first end 104 to a second end 106 that is opposite the body from the first end. The ends 104, 106 define end edges that span the height of the body 102, from a bottom edge 110 to a top edge 108. The top and bottom edges 108, 110 run from the first end 104 to the second end 106. The ends 104, 106 can be rounded or arcuate in a direction from the top edge 108 to the bottom edge 110. Further, the top edge 108 and bottom edge 110 can likewise have a slight arc contour in a direction from the first end 104 to the second end 106. Generally, the arc shape of the top edge 108 and the bottom edge 110 will follow each other, which the rounded ends 104, 106 extend outward in opposite directions.


Around the perimeter of the body 102 that can be a continuous cuff 114 sewn into the sheath fabric to prevent the body from fraying or otherwise degrading with use. The cuff 114 is formed by applying stitching around the perimeter of the body, include the ends 104, 106 and the top and bottom edges 108, 110. A first closure structure 112 can be disposed on the first side 100 of the body 102 adjacent the first end 104. The first closure structure 112, in this example, can be a loop-fabric portion for a hook and loop closure, such as that known by the trade name VELCRO. Additionally, there can decorative indicia 116 placed on the first side 100 of the body 102. The first side 100 is the side of the insulated glass beverage wrap that is intended to face outward from the glass around which it is wrapped, thus the indicia 116 can be viewed by people when the insulated glass beverage wrap is in use. FIG. 1B is a plan view of a second side 120 of the insulated glass beverage wrap of FIG. 1A, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. The second side 120 is intended to be against the external surface of the beverage glass around which the insulated beverage glass wrap is wrapped. There is a second closure structure 118 placed on the second side adjacent the second end 106. The second closure 118 structure is intended to mate with the first closure structure 112 to hold the insulated glass beverage wrap on a beverage glass. When the body 102 is wrapped around a glass, with the second side 120 against the exterior of the of the beverage glass, and the second end 106 will overlap the first end 104, allowing the second closure structure 118 to mate with the first closure structure 112, and thereby retain the insulated beverage glass wrap on the beverage glass.



FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C show the insulated glass beverage wrap of FIGS. 1A-1B placed on various sized beverage glasses, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. There are three different beverage glasses 202A, 202B, and 202C shown. The insulated glass beverage wrap is shown around the first glass 202A in FIG. 2A, around the second glass 202B in FIG. 2B, and around the third glass 202C in FIG. 2C. Because the body 102 can stretch, the insulated glass beverage wrap an be placed on a variety of differently-sized and shaped glasses. In this series, for example, the second glass 202B has a slightly squared bottom compared to the first glass 202A, and it is slightly taller than the first glass 202A.



FIG. 3 shows a view of an insulated glass beverage wrap 300 placed on a wine glass 302, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. The body 304 can be substantially the same as that shown in FIGS. 1A-1B, with the ends overlapping to mate the closure structures together. The bottom edge 306 is not as stretched at the top edge 307, and given the slightly inverted conical shape of the wine glass 302, the body will generally stay in place on the glass. The rounded ends, when overlapped, create a “V” shaped notch 308 or valley around the top edge 307. This notch 308 provides room for a person the drink from the glass 302 without placing their lips in the body 304 of the insulated glass beverage wrap. The lower or bottom edge 306, not being a stretched as the top edge 307, will cover a substantial portion of the bottom of the glass 302 and be located further inward relative to the top edge 307.



FIG. 4 shows a plan view of an insulated glass beverage wrap 400, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. The wrap 400 includes a body 402 that can be substantially similar to the material of the wrap shown in FIGS. 1A-1B. The body 402 includes a first end 402, and a second end 406. The ends 404, 406 are the terminal portions of the body 402 in the elongated direction of the body 402. The ends 404, 406 are rounded, even following a semi-circular shape. The top edge 407 is more arcuate that previous wrap, as is the bottom edge 408. The downward arc of the top edge 407 towards the ends 404, 406 creates more a “V” shape when the ends are overlapping and the body 402 is wrapped around a glass. In this example the body 402 can have one or more pleats sewn into the body 402 at the bottom edge 408, extending from the bottom edge 408 toward the top edge 407. The pleats can extend approximately ten to fifty percent into the body, from the bottom edge 408 toward the top edge 407. The pleats 416 change the degree to which the bottom edge 408 will stretch relative to the top edge 407 to ensure that the top edge 407, when the body 402 is wrapped around a glass, will be retained on the glass through simple friction, and the bottom edge 408 will cover more of the bottom of the glass, at least when the glass is a wine glass type glass, or stemware in general. The body 402 also includes a cuff 410 around the perimeter of the body 402.


Further, whereas previous bodies used hook and loop fasteners, the present example uses buttons 412 and a loop 414. The loop 414 can be an elastic loop positioned at the second end, sewn onto the second end. On the outward facing side, one or more buttons 412 can be placed near the first end 404, or on the half of the body 402 closest to the first end. The buttons 412 can be arranged in a series along the elongated direction of the body to accommodate various sizes of glasses. To be wrapped by the body 402. The use cases of the body 402 is shown in FIGS. 5A-5B. FIGS. 5A, 5B show opposite sides of beverage glasses 500A, 500B, 500C wrapped with insulated glass beverage wraps, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. The loop 414 is placed over button 412 to hold the body 402 on the wine glass (e.g. 500A). As can be seen, the shape of the ends 404, 406, being rounded, creates a substantial “V” notch 418 that is wider than the inverted “V” notch along the bottom edge. The notch 418 can provide a sipping/drinking location so that the person using the glass 500A and wrap does not have to place their mouth on the wrap. The bottom of the wrap extends inward toward the vertical center axis of the glass more that the top edge 407 does, and covers more of the bottom of the glass 500A. The benefit of the notch 418 can especially be seen on glass 500C where the top edge of the wrap around that glass meets the rim of the glass for a substantial portion around the rim of the glass 500C. FIG. 5B shows the opposite side of the glasses 500A-C and their respective wraps. Thus, the same sized wrap can be used on multiple different glasses of different sizes and shapes.



FIGS. 6A, 6B show plan views of opposite sides 600, 602 of an insulated glass beverage wrap configured for conically-shaped glasses, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. In particular, this wrap is suitable for what are known as martini glasses. The wrap has a body 603 that includes a first end 604 and a second end 606. As can be seen, the body 603 has a crescent or “C” shape. The body 603 includes a bottom edge 608 that is substantially smaller than the top edge 610. The top edge, in a path around the perimeter of the body 603 from the first end 604 to the second end 606 can be five to ten times longer than the length around the bottom edge 608. The first side 600 includes a first closure structure 612 that can be a portion of loop-fabric for a hook and loop closure. Accordingly, the second side 402 includes a hook-fabric portion 614 as a second closure structure that will mate with first closure structure 612. Further, the top edge 610 turns slightly inward as it approaches the ends 604, 606 to provide the desired “V” notch when the body 603 is wrapped around a glass. On the second side 602 that can also be some rubber elements 616 that are for gripping the external surface of the glass when the body 603 is wrapped around a glass, as shown in FIG. 7. FIG. 7 shows the insulated glass beverage wrap of FIGS. 6A-6B placed on a conically-shaped beverage glass 700, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. As can be seen the glass is conically shaped in the well-known style of a martini glass. The top edge forms a “V” notch 702 where the ends 604, 606 overlap, and the first and second closure structures are mated together. Because of the small size of the bottom edge 608, the bottom edge can be in stretched contact with the stem of the glass to add further holding grip/friction to keep the body 603 on the glass.



FIGS. 8A-8B shows plan views of opposite sides 800A, 800B of an insulated glass beverage wrap for conically-shaped beverage glasses, including suction cups, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. The crescent-shaped body 801 includes a first end 802 and a second end 804A bottom edge 806 has a much shorter length, around the perimeter of the body 801 from the first end 802 to the second end 804 than does the top edge 808. As a closure structure, the body 801 includes a loop 810 at the first end 802, and a button 812 on the second (external or outward-facing) side 800B. In addition, there can be one or more small suction cups 814 arranged on the first side 800A to adhere through suction to the external surface of the glass around which the body 801 is wrapped.



FIG. 9 shows a plan view of an insulated glass beverage wrap 900 having an ovaline body 902, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. The body 902 has an elongated direction from a first end 904 to a second end 906. In this case, the top edge 910 can have a length that is substantially equal to the length of the bottom edge from the first end 904 to the second end 906. The ends 904, 906 are very rounded in the outward direction from each other in the elongated direction. The side shown includes a decorative indicia 912, such as a button, that can mimic buttons on cocktail attire (e.g. blazers, suit jackets).



FIG. 10 shows a beverage glass 1000 with the insulated glass beverage wrap of FIG. 9 placed thereon, in accordance with some embodiments of the inventive disclosure. The first closure structure 914 is mated to a second closure structure (not shown) on the opposite side from FIG. 9, and can be sewn to the body using stitches 916. The second closure structure can be oriented in the elongated direction of the body so as to accommodate various sized glasses. The rounded ends 904, 906 again create the “V” notch 1002 to allow a person to drink from the glass without having to put their mouth/lips on the body 902 of the wrap.


An insulated glass beverage wrap has been disclosed and described that provides the benefits of being able to be adjusted to different sized and shaped glasses, and the be retained on the glass. The insulated glass beverage wrap prevents the user's hands from getting wet due to condensation, and can greatly diminish the amount of condensation by covering a large portion of the glass. The disclosed wrap also provides a notch by shaping the ends of the body of the wrap such that when the ends are overlapped around a glass, there is a space (notch) that allows for unimpeded drinking from the glass. When the beverage is finished, the user can simply remove the wrap from the glass for washing/cleaning and/or use on another glass. The insulative properties of the body prevent heat from the user's hand to warm up the beverage, as well.
