Abstract
Insulative haberdashery systems and methods are disclosed for holding a beverage container. Exemplary holder systems include a flexible sleeve that receives the beverage container, an attachment mechanism such as a stitch line, and a folded kerchief having an upper presentation section and a lower attachment section. The attachment mechanism couples the lower attachment section of the folded kerchief with an interior surface of the flexible sleeve. The upper presentation section of the folded kerchief is adapted to alternate between a tucked configuration where the upper presentation section is positioned within the cavity of the flexible sleeve and an untucked configuration where the upper presentation section is positioned outside of the cavity of the flexible sleeve. The system can be placed within a jacket pocket, so that the sleeve is flattened and the upper presentation system extends from the jacket pocket.
Description
- Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to the field of beverage holders, and in particular, to insulating sleeves for holding a beverage container.
- Beverage container holders operate to insulate a cold beverage from warming, when used in ambient temperatures. Historically, such beverage containers may be referred to as koozies, coozies, cozies, coolies, huggies, and the like.
- Insulative beverage container holders can include a fabric or foam sleeve that is configured to receive and thermally insulate a beverage container. Exemplary beverage containers include cups, cans, bottles, and the like. Insulative holders can help to maintain the temperature of consumable liquid held within the beverage container, even when the insulative holder is used in hot or cold ambient temperatures or in strong sunlight conditions. Relatedly, insulative holders can help to keep the user's hands comfortable consuming a chilled or heated liquid from the beverage container.

FIG. 1 depicts an exemplary fashion accessory beveragecontainer holder system 100 according to embodiments of the present invention. As shown here, theholder system 100 includes acontainer sleeve 110 attached with akerchief 120 via anattachment mechanism 130. Thesleeve 110 includes awrapper 112 having anupper portion 114 and alower portion 116. Theupper portion 114 of the wrapper has anupper edge 115. Thesleeve 110, when in an open or expanded configuration as shown here, defines aninterior cavity 113 into which a beverage container may be inserted. - In the embodiment depicted here, the
kerchief 120 is folded or configured so as to provide alower attachment section 122 and anupper presentation section 124. Thelower attachment section 122 is generally rectangular in shape, and theupper presentation section 124 is generally triangular in shape. Thelower attachment section 122 is situated below theupper edge 115 of theupper portion 114 of thecontainer sleeve wrapper 112. - The folded nature of the
kerchief 120 provides additional depth to the presentation section. As shown here, theattachment mechanism 130 can be provided as stitching, such as threaded stitching, which holds the sleeve and the kerchief together, and which also holds the kerchief in a folded configuration. - According to some embodiments, the
flexible sleeve 112 includes abase 119. The wrapper 112 (optionally in combination with the base 119) can define aninterior cavity 113, and thecavity 113 can be configured to receive a beverage container. In some cases, theattachment mechanism 130 can include one or more stitch lines. Theattachment mechanism 130 can operate to couple thelower attachment section 112 of the folded kerchief with aninterior surface 111 of theflexible sleeve wrapper 112. Theupper presentation section 124 of the foldedkerchief 120 is adapted to alternate between a tucked configuration where theupper presentation section 124 is positioned within thecavity 113 of theflexible sleeve wrapper 112 and an untucked configuration (as shown here inFIG. 1 ) where theupper presentation section 124 is positioned outside of thecavity 113 of theflexible sleeve wrapper 112. -
FIG. 2 depicts the fashion accessory beveragecontainer holder system 100 in a flattened configuration. As shown here, the stitching functions as anattachment mechanism 130 which holds thesleeve 110 and thekerchief 120 together. Thebottom portion 116 of thewrapper 112 of thecontainer sleeve 110 is connected with or continuous with abase 119 of thesleeve 110, which can function to support the bottom of a container which is held inside of thesleeve 110, when theholder system 100 is in use. As discussed elsewhere here, thewrapper 112 is configured to wrap around the sides of a beverage container, and thebase 119 is configured to support the bottom of the beverage container. Here, thestitching 130 is disposed slightly below theupper edge 115 of theupper portion 114 of thewrapper 112. Thesleeve 110 is folded flat, and thebase 119 extends downward from thewrapper 112. As shown inFIG. 2 , when thesleeve 110 is in a flattened or collapsed configuration, thebase 119 appears to be a double layered semicircle. When thesleeve 110 is opened and used to hold a beverage container, thebase 119 unfolds and becomes circular in shape, whereby the base can operate to support or hold the bottom of the beverage container. According to some embodiments, thekerchief 120 can be folded or configured so that theupper presentation section 124 of the kerchief includes aninterior presentation panel 123 and anexterior presentation panel 125 that partially overlaps theinterior presentation panel 123. This overlap ca provide an added sense of three dimensionality and stylistic presence to thekerchief 120. -
FIG. 3 shows the fashion accessory beveragecontainer holder system 100 while in use, holding abeverage container 200. Theupper presentation section 124 of the kerchief has been substantially tucked inside of thesleeve 110, so as to allow the user to comfortably take a drink from thebeverage container 200, without having theupper presentation section 124 get in the way. In many situations, the entirety of theupper presentation section 124 can be tucked inside of thesleeve 110 when thesystem 100 is used to hold abeverage container 200, so that theupper presentation section 124 is no longer visible. - When it is not being used to hold a beverage container, the fashion accessory or haberdashery beverage
container holder system 100 can be placed in a flattened configuration, and held or carried within a pocket of the user's apparel. For example, as depicted inFIG. 4 , the fashion accessory beveragecontainer holder system 100 can be stowed in afront breast pocket 250 of a suit jacket, sport coat, blazer, or other item ofapparel 260. Here, theupper presentation section 124 extends from the opening of the pocket, and the remainder of thesystem 100 is hidden from view, within the pocket interior. In use, thesystem 100 can be removed from thepocket 250, a sleeve of the system can be expanded or opened (e.g. to form a cylindrical shape), theupper presentation section 124 can be tucked into an interior cavity of the expanded sleeve of theinsulative haberdashery system 100, and a beverage container can be placed within the interior cavity of the sleeve of the insulative haberdashery system while the upper presentation section of the folded kerchief is tucked into the interior cavity of the sleeve. Before and/or after using thesystem 100 to hold a beverage container, theupper presentation section 124 can be positioned in the untucked configuration, the sleeve can be flattened, and thesystem 100 can be placed in thepocket 124, such that at least a portion of theupper presentation section 124 of the folded kerchief extends outside of thefront breast pocket 250. - Advantageously, material from which the sleeve is fabricated (e.g. neoprene, leather, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), polyester, vinyl, an open-cell foam, a closed-cell foam, a fabric, or the like) can operate to provide friction between the exterior of flattened sleeve and the interior of pocket, which can help to hold the
presentation section 124 in place as desired. Similarly, contact between the bottom of pocket and the bottom of the folded sleeve base can help to hold thepresentation section 124 in place as desired. In some cases, the width of the folded kerchief can be selected so that it fits snugly in the breast pocket, thus providing an additional degree of friction to help hold the system in place as desired. Advantageously, when the sleeve is folded in a flattened configuration, thesystem 100 does not cause thepocket 250 to bulge. - According to some embodiments, the kerchief (or
upper presentation section 124 thereof) can be provided in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, textures, hues, and the like. In some cases, such features of the kerchief orupper presentation section 124 thereof can be selected so as to complement or accentuate other aspects of the user's outfit or clothing ensemble, such as abow tie 270 orcummerbund 280. In some cases, the features of the kerchief orupper presentation section 124 thereof can be selected as appropriate for a particular occasion, such as a wedding, funeral, work function, recreational activity, social or religious event, and the like. For example, the kerchief orupper presentation section 124 can have a fabric pattern (e.g. paisley, polka dot, striped, floral, plaid, and the like), and the cummerbund can have a matching fabric pattern. In this way, the fashion accessory beveragecontainer holder system 100 can be uniquely selected by the user to meet the needs of any casual or formal event. Among other things, the kerchief orupper presentation section 124 can operate as an accoutrement, for example to elevate the appearance of another item of apparel, such as a suit, blazer, trousers, or the like. The kerchief orupper presentation section 124 can display a sense of flair, nonchalance, style consciousness, and/or sophistication. - In some cases, a clothing ensemble or
