Methods of using a beverage sock are also disclosed that includes: providing a beverage sock comprising a tube of fabric or material comprising two opposing ends, wherein one of the ends is open, and a handle coupled to the tube at or near the open end of the tube; providing at least one beverage; inserting the at least one beverage into the beverage sock such that the at least one beverage is inserted and kept in an upright position.
Description
- This United States Utility Application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/244739 filed on Sep. 22, 2009, which is commonly-owned and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
- There are many devices and methods that are currently used to carry one or more hot and cold beverages, such as coffee, tea, soda, water and hot chocolate. For example, a hot beverage is usually carried by hand with the aid of a sleeve that is designed to protect the consumer's hand from overheating or getting burned. When a consumer or delivery person wants to carry more than one beverage, whether they are hot, cold or a combination thereof, a cardboard carrying tray is used that is partitioned to hold two, four or more drinks.
- In the case of the cardboard carrying tray, it is usually folded up and stored until needed. When in use, the tray opens out into a rectangle or square shape, depending on the number of beverages it is designed to carry. The handle is placed in the center of the tray, in order to allow the beverages to balance the load of the tray. The beverage holders on the tray are designed like cup holders in a vehicle, where the cup slides down into a receptacle that may or may not have a solid bottom to hold the cup in place. In some beverage trays, the cup slides through a holder where the bottom of the cup is exposed. Regardless of the number of cups the beverage tray is designed to hold or whether the bottom of the tray is solid or open, it is clear that the tray is bulky. The consumer or delivery person can only carry one tray in each hand, and if the tray is designed to hold more than two beverages, then the tray must be held out from the body in order to ensure that the tray does not bump in to the user during transport.
- Therefore, there is a need for the consumer or delivery person to carry multiple beverages—both hot and cold—in a manner that efficiently and safely allows that person to carry these beverages without spillage, while keeping the beverages insulated. As will be described herein, such a beverage delivery system—herein referred to as a “beverage sock”—has been developed that meets all of the mentioned goals, along with having other benefits.
- A beverage sock is disclosed and includes: a tube of fabric or material comprising two opposing ends, wherein one of the ends is open, and a handle coupled to the tube at or near the open end of the tube.
- A method of using a beverage sock, comprising: providing a beverage sock comprising a tube of fabric or material comprising two opposing ends, wherein one of the ends is open, and a handle coupled to the tube at or near the open end of the tube; providing at least one beverage; inserting the at least one beverage into the beverage sock such that the at least one beverage is inserted and kept in an upright position.
