Beverage container holder

Abstract

A beverage container holder may include an insulating sleeve including a first end opposite a second end. The first end may be defined by an opening sized to receive a beverage container. The beverage container holder may include a lining affixed to an internal surface of the sleeve along a length of the internal surface, forming an enclosed pocket between the sleeve and the lining. A beverage container holder may include an insert positioned within the pocket and including at least one sealed compartment containing refreezable material.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for forming a beverage container holder, comprising:
 providing an insulating material, a lining material, and an Insert that has at least one sealed compartment containing refreezable material;   positioning the insert to the insulating material;   positioning the lining material to the insert and the insulating material;   affixing the lining material to the insulating material to form a layered structure having an enclosed pocket having the insert positioned therein;   folding the layered structure about a particular axis; and   affixing a first portion of the layered structure to a second portion of the layered structure, and a third portion of the layered structure to a fourth portion of the layered structure, forming the beverage container holder.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the insulating material is formed of a material selected from: neoprene; scuba foam. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the lining material is formed of a material selected from: nylon fabric; polyester interlock fabric. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one insert is formed of a material selected from: elastomer plastic; thermoplastic plastic. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the refreezable material is formed of a material selected from: aqueous liquid; freezer gel. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising affixing the lining material to the insulating material by one or more of: stitching; adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising affixing the first portion of the layered structure to the second portion of the layered structure, and the third portion of the layered structure to the fourth portion of the layered structure, by one or more of: stitching; adhesive.
