Patent attributes
A protective cover that closely overlies an exterior surface of an upstanding container for holding liquid has integrally formed portions that are separately removable from the container. Each of two substantially adjacent removable cover portions preferably snugly wraps substantially adjacent surface areas of the container's exterior, and is releasably coupled by a narrow tear-off strip portion of the cover that also perimetrically wraps the container's exterior. One removable cover portion preferably helps to hold a cap in a closed orientation on the container's neck. Another removable cover portion preferably underlies a bottom part of the container's exterior surface, and thereby helps to hold the protective cover in place on the container. Yet another removable cover portion preferably wraps and grips a major part of the container's upstanding sidewall, and forms a disposable funnel when removed from the container's exterior.
