Abstract
An insulated beverage container holder is the subject of the present invention. A cylinder support for receiving the container is provided with insulating material, such as rigid foam, or may be of double wall construction to provide thermal insulation. The top of the support is provided with an opening which is eccentric relative to the center of the support. A pivotal cap is received by the support and has an opening which overlies the first mentioned opening. The cap opening is also eccentric relative to the center of the support but is movable from a first position wherein the two openings are in concentric alignment to a non-aligned position. When the openings are aligned, a container may be inserted in the support. Preferably, the openings are large enough to accommodate beverage cans or other containers of different size. After the container is inserted, the cap is pivoted thereby causing the container to be gripped between the edges of the opening at the top of the support and the edges of the opening in the pivotal cap.
