No. 655,562 Int. Cl. F2511 3/08 US. Cl. 62-457 7 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This cooler device includes (1) a polygonal chest of insulating material having short arcuate corners and having small pedestals on the interior bottom wall for support of bottles or cans having bottom walls substantially larger than the pedestals and having a conical central recess in the bottom wall, (2) a polygonal cover for the chest, of insulating material, and (3) a hollow cooler unit having a conical bottom wall to fit into the conical central recess and an exterior wall with arcuate recesses, one for the side wall of each bottle or can and corresponding in number to the side walls of the chest, and a top wall, and filled with refrigerant fluid. For six-packs, the chest and cover are hexagonal, and the cooler chest has six arcuate recesses.
This invention relates to beverage cooler for a plurality of containers of beverage.
Many drinks including soft drinks and beer are sold in packs of six cans or bottles. It is often convenient to carry such a pack along on a picnic or trip, and it is desirable to have the drinks cool. Consequently, a major purpose of the present invention is to provide a unit which accommodates six cans or bottles of beverage and helps to cool them or to keep them cool for a period of several hours. The invention may be adapted to more or fewer containers.
It is desirable for the unit to be convenient and simple, rather than complex with several different cooling chambers, and this also is accomplished by the invention.
Basically the invention comprises a cooling chest with a cover, both of which are made of simple insulating material and which impart no cooling to the bottles, and a central cooling unit located centrally inside the chest and adapted to be in contact with all of the containers. The cooling unit, the chest, and the cover are made to cooperate together and with the containers so that the unit is not only compact and so that all parts fit well, but also aifords maximum insulation of the containers from the heat outside the chest while imparting efficient cooling on the inside.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description of a preferred embodiment:
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a view inside elevation and in section of a cooling unit embodying the principles of the invention, showing one can and one bottle inside.
FIG. 2 is a view in section taken along the line 2-2 in FIG. 1.
A unit 10 of the present invention involves three principal elements: a polygonal chest 11, a polygonal cover 12, and a refrigerant unit 13 of unique shape. The chest 11 and cover 12 are preferably made from a suitable lightweight insulating material such as expanded polystyrene foam. While no cooling is to be imparted by these members, they do serve to insulate the contents from outside heat. The bottles 14 or cans preferably come into contact with the chest 11 in only relatively small areas, and they do not ordinarily touch the cover 12 at all. The
atent C refrigerating unit 13 takes up with the bottles 14 or cans with it. Thus, all the actual central unit 13.
For six packs, the chest the center of the unit 10', 15 around it and in contact cooling is imparted by this 11 has six approximately straight side walls 20, with a slight taper to enable better draft in molding. The chests bottom wall 21 is preferably raised on a rim 22 to minimize ground contact and improve insulation. The bottom wall 21 is thick and is provided with a central tapered recess 23 to receive and to locate the unit 13.
The bottom wall 21 is also provided with a short, preferably round pedestal 24 for each of the six cans or bottles. The pedestal 24 comes into contact with only a small area of the bottom 25 of the bottle 14 or can 15, and thereby the remainder of the bottom 25 is spaced from the bottom wall 21 and from contact with any other member. Similarly, the chest 11 has short curved corner portions 26 that engage the cans 15 or bottles 14 on only a small area and limit them to a minimum contact with the insulating materials, while giving suliicient contact to hold them securely in place. Thus, the bottles 15 or cans 14 are carried in good contact with the central refrigerant unit 13 but are spaced from the walls 20 and 21 of the cooling chest 11.
The cooling chest 11 has an upper edge 27 provided with a recessed outer rim 28 and a higher inner rim 29 connected by a tapered edge 30. The cover 12 is provided with a projecting outer rim 31 to engage the rim 28, and a tapered wall 32 to engage the taper 30. Its recessed inner rim 33 is ordinarily spaced from the rim 29.
The cover 12 is preferably provided with a central projection 34 which extends down toward and a short distance from the refrigerant bottle 13, to keep it from bouncing around too much on rough roads. Preferably, it is not in direct contact, but is close enough to it so that the unit 13 cannot shift to any great extent. The cooling chest 11 is preferably made taller than the bottles 14 or cans 15 to be used, or at least taller than their straight-sided portions, as is the cooling unit 13 itself. In some units the tops of bottles may project up above the unit 13 and touch the cover 12, but usually the bottles or cans can move a slight amount. The top of the cover 12 may also have a recess 35 to provide a central handle 36, which enables easy removal of the cover 12.
The unit 13 is a refrigerant bottle provided with arcuate indentations 40, six for a six pack unit, each to receive a can 15 or bottle 14. The diameter across the deepest indentations 40 is somewhat larger than the diameter of a bottle 14 or can 15, so that the bottles 14 and cans 15 are preferably kept slightly apart from each other; they do not touch each other. It is not intended that there be necessarily perfect contact with the unit 13, just so long as there is an appreciable contact at each arcuate segment 40; so the segments are made to have a radius approximately equal to that of the largest bottle or can be used in the device; hence smaller cans and bottles do not get complete contact over the arc, but will get a substantial amount of contact.
The top 41 of the unit 13 is generally flat with a diametral grove or recess 42 thereacross in which is a central bottle neck 43 and stopper 44, so that the top of the stopper 44 is approximately level with the top wall 41. The sides 45 of the unit 13 are tapered parallel to the walls 20. The bottom wall 46 is conical, to fit into the recess 23.
For the sake of convenience, the unit is generally sold with a refrigerant liquid material 47 up to the level 48 shown in FIG. 1, and the unit 13 has a fill line 50 marked thereon. The user, when he gets the unit, unscrews the cap 44 and fills the unit 13 with water up to the fill line 50. He then screws the cap '44 back on the neck 43 and the unit 13 is ready. The unit 13 is then put into a freezer and its liquid frozen. When it is to be used it is taken out and put into place, and then the bottles 14 or cans 15 are put around it and the unit closed.
To those skilled in the art to which this invention relates, many changes in construction and widely differing embodiments and applications of the invention will suggest themselves without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The disclosures and the description herein are purely illustrative and are not intended to be in any sense limiting.
