ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to insulated beverage container holders and more particularly to a beverage bottle holder system hat includes an insulated top holding structure, an insulated lower holding structure and a number of freezable ice rod elements; the top holding structure having a flip top dispensing spout in connection with an internally threaded bottle neck receiving passageway that is in connection with a bottle top receiving cavity that is internally threaded to engage an exteriorly threaded upper portion of the insulated lower holding structure; the flip top dispensing spout being positioned in a first down position sealing the top holding structure and a second outwardly pivoted position allowing flow through the top holding structure; the insulated lower holding structure including an insulated foam structure shaped to define a bottle bottom cavity in the center thereof with a circumferential wall that has a number of ice rod receiving passageways formed therein sized to receive the freezable ice rod elements that are insertable into the ice rod receiving passageways to provide cooling elements, a handle extending from an exterior of the insulated lower holding structure, and a non-slip element in connection with the bottom portion of the insulated lower holding structure.
BACKGROUND ART
It is often desirable to maintain a beverage bottle, such as a one, two or three liter plastic beverage bottle, as cold as possible. It would be a benefit, therefore, to have a beverage bottle holder system that included insulated structures for surrounding the beverage bottle and insulating the beverage bottle to reduce the rate of warming of the beverage bottle. Because small children may have difficultly removing the cap from a beverage bottle and then holding and pouring the beverage from the beverage bottle into a glass or the like, it would be a further benefit if the beverage bottle holder system included a flip top dispensing spout for sealing the beverage bottle and a handle for providing a gripping structure more easily grasped by small hands.
GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a beverage bottle holder system that includes an insulated top holding structure, an insulated lower holding structure and a number of freezable ice rod elements; the top holding structure having a flip top dispensing spout in connection with an internally threaded bottle neck receiving passageway that is in connection with a bottle top receiving cavity that is internally threaded to engage an exteriorly threaded upper portion of the insulated lower holding structure; the flip top dispensing spout being positioned in a first down position sealing the top holding structure and a second outwardly pivoted position allowing flow through the top holding structure; the insulated lower holding structure including an insulated foam structure shaped to define a bottle bottom cavity in the center thereof with a circumferential wall that has a number of ice rod receiving passageways formed therein sized to receive the freezable ice rod elements that are insertable into the ice rod receiving passageways to provide cooling elements, a handle extending from an exterior of the insulated lower holding structure, and a non-slip element in connection with the bottom portion of the insulated lower holding structure.
Accordingly, a beverage bottle holder system is provided. The beverage bottle holder system includes an insulated top holding structure, an insulated lower holding structure and a number of freezable ice rod elements; the top holding structure having a flip top dispensing spout in connection with an internally threaded bottle neck receiving passageway that is in connection with a bottle top receiving cavity that is internally threaded to engage an exteriorly threaded upper portion of the insulated lower holding structure; the flip top dispensing spout being positioned in a first down position sealing the top holding structure and a second outwardly pivoted position allowing flow through the top holding structure; the insulated lower holding structure including an insulated foam structure shaped to define a bottle bottom cavity in the center thereof with a circumferential wall that has a number of ice rod receiving passageways formed therein sized to receive the freezable ice rod elements that are insertable into the ice rod receiving passageways to provide cooling elements, a handle extending from an exterior of the insulated lower holding structure, and a non-slip element in connection with the bottom portion of the insulated lower holding structure.
