Worried your beer might get warm and/or not to your temperature liking because of the sun? Have no fear, the Beerbrella is here.
Claim #1:
An apparatus for use with a beverage container, comprising:
a means for removably attaching the apparatus to the beverage container;
a share, coupled to the means for removably attaching the apparatus, and extending vertically with respect to the beverage container;
an umbrella, coupled to the shaft at a point above the means for removably attaching, so as to shade the beverages container
What did I understand the claim to be?
- An apparatus, that you can attach to your container
- You can adjust the height of apparatus
- Your'e able to remove the attachment to the container
ANALYSIS:
Novel?
- I've seen nothing of it's kind; focusing on something like this would allow it to get patented. There are thermoses and other things, but nothing of this caliber for your beverage containers.
Prior Art?
- Difficult to find prior art.
Non-Obvious?
- Umbrella manufacturers would not have thought to use their design specifically for beer or beverages (Umbrellas in alcoholic drinks are usually decorative elements)
- There are methods to keep drinks cold/hot - aka thermos
Overall Impressions?
- ...Why??
- Is this necessary?
Great choice of patent I actually did the same one! I wouldn't mind having a beerbrella actually, looks kinda fun. Quite obvious if you look at umbrellas or small decorative ones but hey it does serve a utilitarian purpose
