  • Publication number: 20060196882
    Abstract: The present invention relates to bottle coolers and a method of promoting bottled beverage products by promoting bottle coolers made specifically for that bottled beverage product. The bottle cooler preferably comprises a container for containing ice that is adapted to have the beverage bottle positioned substantially therein, wherein regular ice cubes from standard ice dispensers can be stored and sealed within the space between the bottle and container, to help keep the beverage inside cool. The space is preferably substantially sealed by a cap which is adapted with an opening and a sealing member that extends over the neck of the bottle, wherein the bottle can be held in between the sealing member and one or more supporting surfaces extending substantially underneath the bottle. Other embodiments that fit particular bottles using refrigerants are contemplated.

  • Patent number: 5474229
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a stack of pressure sensitive adhering envelopes wherein each envelope can be easily removed from the stack and used without having to moisten the flap. The flaps of the envelopes are treated on the back side with a release coating and on the front side with a pressure sensitive adhesive so that when the envelopes are stacked with the flaps open, the adhering interface between the pressure sensitive adhesive and the release coating is not permanent. Each envelope in the stack can be easily removed from the stack and sealed by folding the flap onto the body portion of the envelope and applying a slight pressure onto the flap. No release tape is required because each adjacent envelope is treated with the release coating.
