Abstract

A holder for keeping a beverage container, whether can or bottle, cold. The holder includes a cup-shaped base, of an inside diameter sufficient to accommodate the outside diameter of the beverage container. A cylindrical upper portion is provided, having both ends open, one end being snap connectable to the base, and an inside diameter which matches the outside diameter of the beverage container. The base contains a coolant or refrigerant container having an outside diameter corresponding to the inside diameter of the base. The height of the refrigerant container corresponds to the inside height of the base. The top surface of the refrigerant container is extremely flexible so as to conform closely to the bottom surface of the beverage container when the container is placed into the holder. The length of the top portion is substantially the length of the container. The top portion and the base are provided with a hard outer surface, and lined with a softer insulating material. The top portion includes a longitudinal channel formed along one side thereof, and a handle slidably inserted into the channel, to facilitate the user holding the holder. A filler piece may be provided, which conforms to the shape of the channel, for filling the channel when the user does not desire to use the handle with the holder.
