A coaster for a beverage container has an enclosed base and a cooling material encapsulated therein. The enclosed base has a top surface with a substantially planar portion. The beverage container engages on the top surface of the base. In another embodiment, a coaster assembly has a base portion and a collar portion. The collar portion attaches to the base portion and reveals at least a portion of a top side of the base portion.

A coaster, for supporting a liquid carrying vessel on furniture having a furniture surface, and protecting the furniture surface from water damage. The coaster includes a top layer that is made of a soft fibrous material and absorbs liquids. The coaster has a bottom layer that is water repellant to isolate the liquids from the furniture surface. The coaster also has a chemically impregnated water absorbent layer, which contains sodium polyacrulate or simialr product(s).

A coaster for use with a beverage can, bottle or other container, the coaster being provided with an absorbent member having a seat sized to receive the bottom or foot of the container and a multiplicity of interconnected capillary spaces sized to receive and safely retain any moisture present or forming as condensate on and running or dripping from the container. Fixed relative to the absorbent member is a coupling member having a series of semi-resilient contact elements positioned to releasab...

This invention is concerned with a coaster for drinking cups comprising: a circular wall section; a base section enclosed within said wall section; a first rim means projecting upwardly from the base section and extending from the wall section toward the center of the coaster; a second rim means shorter in length than, but equal in height to, the first rib means, the second rim means projecting upwardly from the base and extending from the wall section towards the center of the coaster; the firs...

This invention relates to a Coaster holding or supporting a glass containing a drink for the purpose of preventing the marring of furniture by a dripping sweat formed on the outer surface of the glass and it comprises a non-frangible dished tray of non-porous material in which is placed an insert or pad comprising a base having a knap of highly porous material on one side thereof which will readily absorb the condensation or sweat running down the outside of a glass resting upon the knap of the ...

A disposable coaster for use with a beverage container is characterized by a substrate of moisture absorbent material having a base panel and an upstanding side wall joined to the base panel, thereby forming an open ended shell for receiving the bottom end of the beverage container, with the upstanding side wall being characterized by folded, overlapping side wall segments defining vertically extending pleats. A film deposit of moisture impervious sealing material applied to the exterior surface...

A carrier (10) for a six pack (20) of beverage containers (14) has rings (12) interconnected by strips (16) and (18). The rings (12) fit around the beverage containers (14) in a friction fit. The strips (16, 18) are severed from adjacent rings (12) to remove one of the beverage containers (14) from the six pack (20). The ring (12) is moved so that it extends partially below bottom (24) of the container (14) so that the ring (12) will function as a coaster by supporting the container (14) above a...

A coast brake of the type having a screw cone provided with a tapered part to be screwed into an internal end part of a male screw cylinder to which a chain gear is fixed, the screw cone being removed by means of the rotation of the male screw cylinder. A brake shoe is in mesh with a fixed brake cone which is provided outwardly of the screw cone to engage with a hub body by pressing the brake shoe being expanded. The coaster brake further includes: a cylindrical part smaller in diameter than a t...

A chemiluminscent coaster includes a coaster combined with a luminous filler or light source, structured as a shell containing reagents for inducing chemiluminescence. At least one surface of the coaster is light transmissive, being wholly or partially transparent or translucent. A single-use chemiluminescent coaster may use light sources in which the reaction takes place extemporaneously at the time of use, or may include light sources wherein pre-mixed reagents are kept at -40.degree. C. in or...
