Container wrap and container assembly

1. A device comprising:

a wrap including a sidewall having a plurality of openings, the wrap configured to extend over and across an outer surface and an edge of a container; and

at least one suction cup formed in the wrap to detachably secure the wrap and the container to a surface;

wherein the wrap is formed of a shock resistant material to absorb and dissipate impacting forces to prevent breakage of the container; and

wherein the container includes an inner surface that remains substantially unobstructed by the wrap.

2. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

the shock resistant material of the wrap is flexible and stretchable; and

the wrap flexibly and stretchably conforms to the outer surface and the edge of the container.

3. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising numerous shock resistant protuberances formed in the shock resistant material of the wrap and extending across and projecting outward.

4. The device according to claim 3 wherein the plurality of openings in the sidewall of the wrap and the protuberances cooperate such that the openings and the protuberances dissipate impacting forces.

5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the openings are arranged in spaced apart continuous rows of the openings parallel with respect to the edge of the container.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the openings of each of the continuous rows of the openings are substantially equal in size.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the openings of each of the continuous rows of the openings are substantially equally spaced apart.

8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the protuberances are arranged in spaced apart continuous rows of the protuberances parallel with respect to the edge of the container and the continuous rows of the openings.

9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the protuberances of each of the continuous rows of the protuberances are substantially equal in size.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the protuberances of each of the continuous rows of the protuberances are substantially equally spaced apart.

11. A device to prevent breakage of a breakable container formed with an outer face and an opposed inner face that meet at a parametric edge encircling a container opening to the inner face of the breakable container, the inner face of the breakable container being recessed with respect to the parametric edge and the container opening, the device comprising:

a container wrap formed of a shock resistant material;

the container wrap configured to be applied over and across the outer face and the parametric edge of the breakable container to absorb and dissipate impacting forces to prevent breakage of the breakable container; and

at least one suction cup formed in the container wrap to detachably secure the container wrap to a surface.

12. The device according to claim 11 , wherein the shock resistant material is flexible and stretchable to permit the container wrap to be flexibly and stretchably applied to the outer surface and the parametric edge of the breakable container.

13. The device according to claim 12 , further comprising numerous shock resistant protuberances formed in the shock resistant material to project outward with respect to the outer face and the parametric edge of the breakable container.

14. The device according to claim 13 , further comprising an openwork of the shock resistant material formed in the container wrap, the openwork containing numerous openings to extend across the outer face and the parametric edge of the breakable container and formed with the protuberances.

15. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the openings are arranged in spaced apart continuous parallel rows of the openings.

16. The device according to claim 15 , wherein the openings of each of the continuous parallel rows of the openings are substantially equal in size.

17. The device according to claim 16 , wherein the openings of each of the continuous parallel rows of the openings are substantially equally spaced apart.

18. The device according to claim 17 , wherein the protuberances are arranged in spaced apart continuous parallel rows of the protuberances parallel with respect to the continuous parallel rows of the openings.

19. The device according to claim 18 , wherein the protuberances of each of the continuous parallel rows of the protuberances are substantially equal in size.

20. The device according to claim 19 , wherein the protuberances of each of the continuous parallel rows of the protuberances are substantially equally spaced apart.

21. A method comprising the steps of:

providing a wrap including a sidewall having a plurality of openings, the wrap;

formed of a shock resistant material; and

applying the wrap over and across an outer surface and an edge of a container leaving a substantial portion of an inner surface of the container unobstructed by the wrap to permit use of the inner portion of the container without obstruction or interference by the wrap.

22. The method according to claim 21 , wherein the shock resistant material of the wrap is flexible and stretchable, and the step of applying the wrap over and across the outer surface and the edge of the container further comprises flexing and stretching the wrap over and across the outer surface and the edge of the container.

23. The method according to claim 22 , further comprising detachably securing the wrap to a surface to detachably secure the container with respect to the surface.

24. The method according to claim 23 , wherein the step of detachably securing the wrap to the surface to detachably secure the container with respect to the surface comprises: providing the wrap with at least one suction cup; and applying the suction cup to the surface.
