A highly adaptable beverage container insulator is designed for a significant size range of beverage containers. The insulator is tubular with open ends that are formed from two elastic panels. Each panel has straight top and bottom edges with elastic hems. The side edges of each panel are slightly curved to maintain the properties and proper appearance of the insulator. To form the insulator, two of the panels are joined along their side edges to form a tube. The insulator is placed around a beverage container to better insulate the container and maintain the temperature of the beverage located therein. The insulator accommodates significant variation in the size and shape of beverage containers. For example, a smaller version of the insulator is readily adaptable to conform to both a standard twelve ounce soda can and to a ten ounce juice bottle.

A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 1 wherein the channel side members are generally parallel to each other, with their upper edges turned inwardly from the side members. 3. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the channel side members are inwardly inclined in an upward direction. 4. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the channel extends throughout the length of the base. 5. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the channel and the base are separate. 6. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 5, wherein said separate base is of a uniform cross-sectional shape. 7. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 5, wherein said separate base is formed of two aligned parts which may be moved apart from each other. 8. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 1, wherein said generally flat base is rectangular in plan. 9. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lower surface of said stabiliser is of enhanced frictional value. 10. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 9, having irregularities or projections in or from said lower surface and/or said surface being formed of a frictional material. 11. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 9, wherein said lower surface is of rubber. 12. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 1, wherein the other of said elongated members is formed to permit location in a selected one of a number of spaced-apart transverse slots. 13. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 1, wherein said one elongated member is hollow for attachment to a ladder stile, said other elongated member being slidable linearly within said one elongated member, adjustment means comprising two interengaging non-planar surfaces respectively associated with said one and said other elongated members and locking means to secure said surfaces in their mutually interengaged positions. 14. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 1, including a set of generally parallel irregularities associated with each of said one and said other elongated members for interengagement means for pivoting the two sets of irregularities into and out of engagement with each other, and locking means to secure said one and said other elongated members together with said sets of irregularities so engaged. 15. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 14, wherein said two sets of irregularities are each a set of generally parallel teeth. 16. A ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 15, wherein said teeth extend transverse to the direction of relative movement of said one and said other elongated members. 17. The ladder stabiliser as claimed in claim 1 wherein said foot member is
