Abstract:
A portable carrier for a beverage container has a base member with an open top and closed bottom, the open top communicating with a cavity defined by an upper portion of selected cross-sectional dimension and a lower portion of reduced cross-sectional dimension providing an internal ledge, the base member having external integral opposed boss portions having openings therethrough. A cover member has a closed top and open bottom with a cavity therein communicating with the open bottom, the cover member telescopically mating with the base member when in the closed position, the cover member having integral external opposed boss portions with openings. A cord extends through the openings in the boss portions of the cover member and the base member with knots at the ends thereof so that thereby the cord serves the dual function of providing means for carrying the portable carrier as well as preventing inadvertent misplacement of the cover member. A beverage container can be positioned in the base member to rest on the internal ledge. Ice can be placed in the base member lower portion to cool the beverage in the container.
