Application 10/349,468
INTRODUCTION
Appellant invented a laminated container holder that protects a user’s
hand from the extreme temperatures of a container’s contents and a method
of making the laminated container holder (Specification 1). The laminated
container holder is composed of a plurality of layers including a graphics
objects display layer attached to a thermal insulating layer (Claim 1). The
thermal insulating layer is composed of “a low density polyethylene
material.” Claims 1 and 7 are illustrative:
1. A laminated sleeve for use with a container, the sleeve comprising:
a plurality of layers, wherein
at least one layer of the plurality of layers is a thermal insulating layer
comprising a low density polyethylene material, and
at least one other layer of the plurality of layers is a graphic objects
display layer suitable for printing at least one graphic object thereon.
7. A method for manufacturing a laminated sleeve for use with a
container comprising the steps of:
a) providing a graphic objects display layer;
b) transferring at least one graphic object onto the graphic objects
display layer;
c) providing at least one thermal insulating layer comprising a low
density polyethylene material;
d) overlaying the graphic objects display layer onto the at least one
thermal insulating layer to form a sheet;
e) cutting at least one sleeve pattern from the sheet; and
f) folding and assembling the sleeve pattern to form the laminated
sleeve.
