Abstract:

A towel is attached along one of its edges to a hollow, insulating tube. The towel may be rolled up or wound around the tube. Articles such as cold beverage cans may be placed in the tube. Two removable endcaps may be used to close the ends of the tube and thus retain the articles. In the rolled-up position, two or more snaps near the free end of the towel may be used to secure the towel around the circumference of the tube. A strap connecting the endcaps facilitates transportation of the tube and rolled-up towel.
