ABSTRACT:
For stabilizing a frustoconical beverage container, a stabilizing insulation sleeve comprises a tapered cylindrical sleeve having a plurality of spaced apart vertical slits cut from the smaller open end of such sleeve, forming stabilizing legs. The sleeve is designed to wrap around or nest a similarly shaped, top-heavy, disposable beverage container. The sleeve provides a wide base of support when its legs, formed by the slits, radially expand out to more than 100% of the diameter of the bottom of an inserted beverage cup. This will prevent the inserted cup from easily tipping over on a flat surface, thereby stabilizing it. The ends of the stabilizing legs that spread out on a flat surface can be made of tacky material or of removable adhesive so as to further reduce the problem of sliding across a flat surface.
