Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The inventor provides a unique Travel Suitcase Beverage Cover designed specifically for a retractable suitcase handle. This allows the traveler or anyone pulling a retractable handle suitcase to securely attach a water bottle or other beverage container to the suitcase handle. The present invention is described in enabling detail in the following examples, which may represent more than one embodiment of the present invention.

1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a means for providing a cylindrical cover for water bottles or other beverage containers which is, highly effective in securing the beverage container to a retractable suitcase handle, is highly portable when not being used in the mentioned matter, in that it is made of a resilient material so that it can be readily collapsed and carried in one's bag for storage and transportation.

2. DISCUSSION OF THE STATE OF THE ART

Over the years numerous bottle covers have been developed or created and marketed for the purpose of keeping the beverage cover contained or secured to a suitcase by other means, which often means a water bottle or other beverage container is moving around freely and is, therefore not secure at all, and allowing it to have the potential to become free from the suitcase, causing loss, and or damage.

The beverage cover is designed to primarily secure itself to one's luggage by sliding it over the retractable suitcase handle and be hands free, but can also be used by gripping the attached handle or strap extending along the length of the exterior cover, and carrying by hand.

3. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a travel suitcase beverage cover which provides both a high degree of security by staying attached to the suitcase handle by sliding over the retractable handle, providing hands free; and secondly, is highly portable in that it is made of a material which is collapsible for storage and transportation taking up little space.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In this manner a beverage cover is provided which is both highly effective in transporting a beverage container securely and is completely collapsible for storage and transportation.
