Abstract

A foldable air insulating sleeve (20) for insulating beverage and food containers. The sleeve (20) secures a cup (60) in a manner that leaves a pocket of air (68) surrounding the cup. This provides for improved temperature regulation and sufficient thermal insulation to assist the user in firmly grasping and handling the cup despite excess heat or condensation caused by the temperature of the cup's contents. A lid (108) further improves thermal insulation.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 11 March 2005 (11.03.2005)
1. A foldable air insulating system, the foldable air insulating system comprising: a cup; and a foldable air insulating sleeve configured to insulate said cup via at least one continuous circumferential air pocket formed between said cup and said sleeve.
2. A foldable air insulating system as recited in claim 1, wherein said foldable air insulating sleeve comprises: a substantially tubular outer shell; a rim; and at least one of the following: (i) an inner base; and
(ii) an outer base, wherein said inner base and said outer base are connected by at least one base connection strip.
3. A foldable air insulating system as recited in claim 2, wherein said substantially tubular outer shell is foldable along at least two longitudinal folds and wherein said inner base and said outer base are foldable so that said inner base and said outer base are parallel to said rim when folded and perpendicular to said rim when open and wherein said substantially tubular outer shell is foldable into a substantially flat condition.
4. A foldable air insulating system as recited in claim 3, wherein said rim of said foldable air insulating sleeve is coupled to a top rim of said cup and said inner base of said foldable insulating sleeve supports a bottom edge of said cup.
5. A foldable air insulating system as recited in claim 3, wherein said foldable air insulating sleeve's inner base has an opening through which said cup enters until said cup is either too wide and is stopped from further passage or until said cup meets said outer base of said foldable air insulating sleeve.
6. A foldable air insulating system as recited in claim 3, wherein said bottom edge of said cup is narrower than said top rim, causing, when coupled to said foldable air insulating sleeve, the area of said first pocket of air to be greater near said bottom edge of said cup than at said top rim.
7. A foldable air insulating system as recited in claim 3, wherein said first pocket of air exists between said substantially tubular outer shell of said foldable air insulating sleeve and said cup.
8. A foldable air insulating system as recited in claim 3, wherein a second pocket of air exists between said inner base and said outer base of said foldable air insulating sleeve.
9. A foldable air insulating sleeve as recited in claim 3, wherein said foldable air insulating sleeve is made substantially out of at least one of the following materials: i) plastic; and ii) paper.
10. A foldable air insulating system as recited in claim 3, further comprising a hollow lid with no openings.
11. A foldable air insulating system as recited in claim 3, further comprising a hollow lid with a straw opening.
12. A foldable air insulating system as recited in claim 10, further comprising a rounded mouth piece, a hollow hot drink lid opening and a cap.
13. An insulating cup lid comprising a substantially flat lid wherein an air chamber is formed within said lid, and with no openings in said lid.
14. An insulating cold drink cup lid comprising a substantially flat lid wherein an air chamber is formed within said lid, and with a straw opening in said lid.
15. An insulating hemispherical cold drink cup lid comprising a hemispherical hollow lid wherein an air chamber is formed within said lid, and with a straw opening in said lid.
16. An insulating hot drink cup lid comprising a substantially flat lid wherein an air chamber is formed, and with a rounded mouth piece, and a hot drink lid opening, a cap.
17. In a system that includes a foldable air insulating sleeve and a cup, a method for insulating said cup, the method comprising the steps for: providing a foldable air insulating sleeve, wherein said foldable air insulating sleeve is coupled to a cup to form at least one continuous circumferential air pocket formed between said cup and said sleeve; and insulating said cup using at least one pocket of air.
18. A method as recited in claim 13, further comprising creating one or more pockets of air between said cup and said foldable air insulating sleeve.
19. A method as recited in claim 13, wherein a second pocket of air and a third pocket of air are created underneath said cup.
