Abstract
Abstract An insulating jacket for a beverage container is disclosed. The jacket 10 includes an outer cover and an inner liner with a resilient insulating material therebetween. Thread at the seams fasten the upper and lower ends and the side ends to form the jacket into an endless covering. The folded outer covering extending beyond the upper and lower seams provides a resisting mechanism against forcing a container completely through the jacket. The jacket, thus, not only provides insulation from heat transfer, but also holds a container above a table top to eliminate moisture deposit.
