ABSTRACT:
An insulator apparatus for a beverage container having a section of foam material with a generally rectangular configuration, a first self-coiling spring strip affixed adjacent to a top edge of the section of foam material, and a second self-coiling spring strip affixed adjacent to a bottom edge of the section of foam material. The first self-coiling spring strip is in generally parallel relationship to the second self-coiling spring strip. The first and second self-coiling spring strips operate so as to self-roll the section of foam material around an exterior surface of the beverage container. Each of the first and second self-coiling spring strips have a concave side and a convex side and the property that, when straightened, the spring strip holds a straightened shape and, when bent in a predetermined direction, the spring strip self-rolls to encircle the beverage container. The first and second self-coiling spring strips are of identical configurations.
