  • Patent number: 5058757
    Abstract: A beverage insulator (10) is provided with a cylindrical portion (20) of insulating material and a shader (30) extending therefrom to shade the top of a beverage can (12) from the sun. The cylindrical portion (20) is designed to be easily gripped and to allow easy insertion of a standard aluminum can. It is further provided with a flared and ballasted base (24) to add stability. The shader may be fixed or retractable. In the latter embodiment, the shader retracts when a lever (44) attached to cylindrical portion (20) is compressed. Upon the lever's release, the shader (30) resumes its protective position. In an alternate embodiment, a shader is provided to be used with a standard beverage copy. In this embodiment, the shader (30) is fixed on a shaft (40), said shaft (40) being insertable between the inner surface of the cozy (20) and beverage can (12) therein.
