Float-n-drink

Abstract

The device provides flotation support while thermally insulating a beverage container. The device is adjustable to prevent tilting or capsizing as the liquid level changes inside the beverage container.

1 ) A beverage container flotation device for supporting a beverage in a stable upright position in water comprised of an insulating cylinder around the container with a moveable flotation sleeve providing said stability from capsizing or tilting.  
   
   
       2 ) A beverage container flotation device in accordance with claims  1  where the flotation sleeve material is manufactured from polyurethane foam, cellular polystyrene or material with similar properties.  
   
   
       3 ) A beverage container flotation device in accordance with  claim 1  where the flotation sleeve can be moved axially along the insulating cylinder to provide upright flotation stability for various levels of fill conditions in the beverage container.  
   
   
       4 ) The beverage container flotation device as in  claim 3  with calibration marks printed, molded etc. on the insulating cylinder to indicate the proper location of the flotation sleeve corresponding to the fill level in the beverage container e.g. Full, ¾ full, ½ full, ¼ full etc.  
   
   
       5 ) A beverage container flotation device as in  claim 3  with “raised” ribs or protrusions on the outside surface of the insulating cylinder that will mechanically locate the flotation sleeve. The ribs can be located for the full, ¾ full, ½ full, ¼ full, conditions as the beverage container as emptied.
