Abstract
Abstract The present invention is directed to a thermally insulating sleeve, that is mounted on a disposable beverage container, having an outwardly projecting handle. The sleeve is both flexible and resilient so that it grips the sidewalls of the container. The handle is C-shaped and provided with a mounting flange located inside of the sleeve. The mounting flange is provided with an arcuate inner surface for engaging the cylindrical sidewalls of a beverage container.
