  • Patent number: 11473836
    Abstract: A container holder for holding multiple cylindrical containers. The container holder includes a base, a cover and an insert. The base and the cover each have (a) two opposing equal size vertical side walls, (b) two opposing equal size vertical end walls, and (c) a bottom portion connected to lower ends of the side and end walls. The base and cover have substantially equal length and width so that the cover can be placed on the base to form an assembled container holder with a substantially rectangular cuboid outer surface. The assembled container holder defines an interior space having a height approximately equal to the height of the containers. The interior space of the assembled container holder is capable of accommodating multiple cans with the cans in an upright orientation. The hold insert may contain a freezable liquid for placement between the containers to keep beverages in the containers cool.
