  • Holder, system and/or method for insulating and/or for supporting a cup
    Patent number: 8006862
    Abstract: A holder, a system and/or a method insulate and/or support a cup. A handle assists a consumer in drinking a beverage from the cup. A cover, a liner and a spine are assembled to form the holder. The cover and the liner are attached to form a pocket for holding the spine. The handle is rigidly attached to the spine. A rigidity of the spine may support a wall of the cup. A force placed on the cup when using the handle is distributed by the spine around the wall of the cup to reduce a likelihood of failure and/or of deformation of the cup. The cover, the liner and the spine retard heat transfer to and/or from a beverage in the cup.
