Abstract
An inflatable hand shaped body has a hand pocket and an external surface on which is located, one or more beverage receiving pockets.
Description
- The invention relates to beverage carriers and more particularly to an inflatable, insulating beverage carrier.
- Inflatable novelty devices are well known. One particularly type comprises an assembly of flexible sheets, sealed to form a hollow inflatable shape. A common shape is the shape of a hand with an extended finger or fingers, representing “Number 1”, “V for Victory” or the like. Such devices are shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,486,975. However, such devices have no apparent utility other than their primary intended use by sports fans etc.
- It is an object of the invention to provide an inflatable novelty device that is worn on a hand and that can be also used as a beverage carrier.
- Accordingly, there is provided an inflatable body. The inflatable body has a hand pocket and an external surface on which is located, one or more beverage receiving pockets.
- In preferred embodiments, the hand pocket and the bottoms of the one or more beverage pockets are separated by a single sheet
- In order that the invention be better understood, reference is now made to the following drawing figure in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an inflatable and insulating beverage carrier; and -
FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view of a second embodiment - As shown in
FIG. 1 , an inflatable body to is in the shape of a hand. In this example, the hand includes a single extended index finger shape 11. Other shapes, including other hand shapes are contemplated. A lower portion of the hand shape, corresponding with the approximate location of the wrist, includes a hand opening 12 that leads into ahand pocket 13. In this example, the hand shape includes generally parallel upper andlower profile sheets border sheet 16. In this example, the upper sheet 11 has formed in it, threebeverage receiving pockets round edge 20 of each beverage receiving pocket is joined to a beveragepocket sidewall sheet 21. The lower edges of the beveragepocket sidewall sheet 21 are joined to theinner sheet 22 that defines a wall of thehand pocket 13. In other embodiments, the beverage pocket sidewall sheet is joined to an independent circular bottom orfloor sheet 23 that rests in close proximity to theinner sheet 22. In accordance with the example depicted inFIG. 1 , it will be appreciated that the device may be provided with 1, 2, 3, 4 ormore beverage pockets 24 that are formed in accordance with the above teachings. In preferred embodiments, thebeverage pockets 24 are formed above and within the perimeter confines of thehand pocket 13 so that a hand inserted through the hand pocket opening 12 can be used to support and stabilise beverages when they are inserted into the beverage pockets. In particularly preferred embodiments, thebeverage pockets 24 are arranged symmetrically about thelongitudinal center line 25 of thehand pocket 13 to provide balance and stability when beverages are carried. A further example of symmetrical arrangement about the longitudinal center line is depicted inFIG. 2 . In that example, fourbeverage pockets 24 are provided, two on either side of thelongitudinal center line 25. - While the present invention has been disclosed with reference to particular details of construction, these should be understood as having been provided by way of example and not as limitations to the scope or spirit of the invention.
