Fabric Surround and Method of Use

Abstract

A cylindrical fabric surround including a flexible fabric material which stretches during disposing of the surround over a cylindrical item, such as a bottle, causing a releasable attachment of the bottle surround with the bottle. This cylindrical fabric surround has a cylindrical, or annular surround geometry, whereby a cavity is formed therein by the internal wall of the cylindrical surround, providing a receptacle area or volume for any cylindrical item the cylindrical surround is disposed thereunto. The internal wall of the cavity provides a first wall of the cylindrical surround and the external wall of the cylindrical surround provides a second wall of the cylindrical surround. The surround also has at least one pocket, for storing at least one article, such as a phone, keys or any sundry. The pocket is generally facing upwards, but could have a plurality of pockets with at least one of with varied geometries, orientations, or placement. Bands, such as elastic bands, may be formed thereon the top and bottom of the cylinder, as well as on the top portion of the pocket surface to provide a portion of the releasable attachment to the bottle. The bands may have a diameter that is less than surround wall diameter to provide in the releasable attachment. A friction agent, such as a nonslip fabric coating, may also be applied to the first wall or inside diameter of the surround to aid in improving the releasable attachment of a cylindrical item, such as a bottle, with a first wall of the fabric cylinder surround apparatus 100 when disposed thereunto.
