ABSTRACT:
Combination insulated mug and beverage can holder comprises a one-piece flexible ring-shaped retainer with an annular groove that mounts on the upper rim of an insulated mug. The annular groove on the retainer has an outside lip that has a slightly inward bias and is of a slightly smaller diameter than the outside of the flared or beaded portion of the mug that it fastens to. The inner edge of the flexible retainer has a lip (or tabs) that face inward and slightly down and is of a smaller diameter than the beverage can it is designed to hold and engage when the beverage can is inserted into the mug with a fitted retainer. When the retainer is fitted to the mug's upper rim the insulated mug functions as an insulated holder of a beverage can and when the retainer is not fitted to the upper rim the mug can function as a normal drinking vessel. By making the base of the mug recessed and similar in size and shape to the top of the mug the flexible retainer can be conveniently stored out of the way when the mug is being used as a drinking vessel.
