    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The field of endeavor to which the invention pertains is Equipment for Preparing or Serving Food or Drink Not Elsewhere Specified (class D07), and in particular could be described as a sheath (subclass 624.2). The invention economically absorbs moisture which condenses on the outside of beverage containers such as cans or bottles, thus keeping dry the drinker's hands, as well as tables and other surfaces where the beverage would be set to rest.
    • BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention is an economical disposable sheath for beverage containers made from a paper-like fiber (similar to disposable coffee filters) which would absorb moisture which condenses on beverage containers in order to keep the drinker's hands and other surfaces dry.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the disposable Beverage Wrap;
  • FIG. 2 is a top view of the disposable Beverage Wrap; and
  • FIG. 3 is a front view of the disposable Beverage Wrap.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention offers the user an economical disposable sheath for beverage containers made from a paper-like fiber (similar to disposable coffee filters) which would absorb moisture which condenses on beverage containers in order to keep the drinker's hands and other surfaces dry.
  • The invention is distinguished from other inventions since it is cheap and disposable protection against moisture which condenses on beverage containers.
  • The invention is made from a paper-like fiber (similar to disposable coffee filters) and would be manufactured in a similar way, i.e., by stamping a round cut-out of appropriate dimensions from a sheet of the raw material. Then, the round cut-out would be pressed into a cylindrical shape with pleated sides. An elastic or fixed rim would be formed at the top by folding over the top approximately one quarter inch (¼″) and affixing the folded-over with adhesive.
  • The invention would be sold in packets containing multiple Beverage Wraps. Various sizes would be produced, e.g., one to fit cans, one to fit 12 oz. glass bottles, and one to fit plastic 20 oz. containers. The user would take a Beverage Wrap from the packet, unfold it, and slide it over the beverage to be consumed. When finished, the Beverage Wrap would be disposed of in the trash.
