ABSTRACT:
A removable insulating container which grips a bottle such that the container is held snugly in place. The container uses a separate lower sleeve and an upper cap which are mounted on a medicine bottle to substantially encase the medicine bottle. The container is fabricated from a multi-layer flexible material which has an impact resistant outer layer and an inner layer which forms an internal channel that grips the side of the medicine bottle. The proximal end of the container has an optional viewing window which allows the user to estimate the amount of medicine remaining in the medicine bottle. The proximal end of the lower sleeve extends past the bottom of the bottle to prevent it from impacting a surface should it be dropped. In addition to holding the upper cap on the medicine bottle through the gripping action of the inner layer, the upper cap can optionally be formed with a compressible flexible barrier on the distal end creating vacuum chamber which can be used to hold the upper cap in place with vacuum pressure. The container walls can be colored to prevent light from penetrating the medicine bottle.
