Abstract

The carafe (5) contains a small quantity of table wine at a reduced temperature and the lower section fits into a close fitting double wall (3,6) cup (1) which contains a thermally retentative gel (4) between the walls which is chilled and retains the wine temperature during a meal.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kühlbox, wie sie im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegeben ist.The invention relates to a cool box, as in the preamble of Claim 1 is given.

Weinkaraffen dienen üblicherweise zum Servieren kleiner Mengen von Wein für Gäste, denen eine ganze Flasche Wein aus irgendwelchen Gründen zu viel ist. Diese Karaffen haben nun wegen ihrer verhältnismäßig geringen Größe auch nur eine geringe Wärmekapazität und sind daher nicht in der Lage, den darin enthaltenen Wein über hinreichende Zeit auf einer gewünschten niedrigen Temperatur zu halten. Im Ergebnis trinkt daher der Gast schon zum ersten Gang seines Essens Wein von unangemessen hoher Temperatur.Wine carafes are usually used to serve small quantities of Wine for guests to whom a whole bottle of wine for some reason too a lot is. These carafes now have because of their relatively small size even a low heat capacity and are therefore unable to Wine contained in it for sufficient time at a desired low Keep temperature. As a result, the guest already drinks to the first course his food wine of inappropriately high temperature.

Die Erindung hat daher die Aufgabe, hier Abhilfe zu schaffen und die Möglichkeit zu bieten, auch geringe Mengen Wein, wie sie in Karaffen serviert werden, über eine für die Einnahme einer kompletten Mahlzeit hinreichende Zeit auf einer angemessen kühlen Temperatur zu halten.The Erindung therefore has the task to remedy this situation and the Possibility to offer even small amounts of wine, as served in decanters be sufficient to take one complete meal To keep time at a reasonably cool temperature.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung gelöst durch eine Kühlbox, wie sie im Patentanspruch 1 definiert ist; vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The object is achieved according to the invention by a cool box, as defined in claim 1; advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Mit der Erfindung wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, auch kleine Mengen Wein auf einfache Weise hinreichend lange auf einer gewünschten Trinktemperatur zu halten. Dabei zeichnet sich eine Kühlbox gemäß der Erfindung durch eine dezente und ansprechende Form sowie leichte Handhabbarkeit aus, die allen Ansprüchen moderner Gastronomie gerecht wird. Eine Kühlbox gemäß der Erfindung kann leicht sowohl an die Form der kühl zu haltenden Karaffe als auch an die Farbe des darin zu servierenden Weins angepaßt werden und stellt dank entsprechender Oberflächengestaltung auch selbst ein Element der Tischdekoration dar. With the invention, the possibility is created, even small quantities Wine in a simple way for a sufficiently long time at a desired drinking temperature to keep. In this case, a cool box according to the invention is characterized a discreet and attractive shape and easy handling, the meets all the requirements of modern gastronomy. A cool box according to the Invention can be easily adapted both to the shape of the carafe to be kept cool be adapted to the color of the wine to be served in it and provides thanks to the appropriate surface design also an element of the table decoration itself represents.

Für die weitere Beschreibung der Erfindung und ihrer Merkmale und Vorteile wird nunmehr auf die beigefügte Zeichnung Bezug genommen; deren einzige Figur zeigt einen schematisch gehaltenen Schnitt durch eine einfach gestaltete Ausführungsform einer Kühlbox gemäß der Erfindung mit einer darin eingesetzten Karaffe, deren Inhalt kühl gehalten werden soll.For the further description of the invention and its features and Advantages will now be referred to the accompanying drawings; their single figure shows a schematic section through a simple designed embodiment of a cooling box according to the invention with a therein used decanter whose contents should be kept cool.

Bei dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Kühlbox gemäß der Erfindung besteht die Kühlbox aus einem oben offenen Becher 1 von zylindrischer Form, in den der untere Teil einer Karaffe 5 mit kühl zu haltendem Wein eingesetzt ist. Der Becher 1 ist sowohl an seinem Mantel 6 als auch an seinem Boden 2 doppelwandig ausgeführt. Der zwischen den Becherwänden gebildete Hohlraum 3 ist mit einem tiefkühlfähigen Gel 4 gefüllt. Der Becher 1 umschließt dank der an die Form der Karaffe 5 angepaßten Form seiner Innenwandung mit dieser die Karaffe 5 möglichst dicht, womit ein guter Wärmeübergang zwischen dem Gel 4 und dem in der Karaffe 5 enthaltenen Wein gewährleistet ist. Dabei versteht sich, daß der Becher 1 statt der in der Zeichnung gezeigten Zylinderform auch jede andere der Form einer aufzunehmenden Karaffe entsprechende Ausbildung seiner Innenwandung aufweisen kann: Bei der Gestaltung der Außenwandung des Bechers 1 besteht völlige Freiheit, und es ist insbesondere möglich, auf der Außenseite jede gewünschte Schmuckdekoration vorzusehen: Der Becher 1 ist aus einem kältebeständigen Material hergestellt, wobei aus Kostengründen ein entsprechender Kunststoff bevorzugt ist. Die Farbe für das Bechermaterial und/oder das Gel 4 kann entsprechend der Farbe des in der Karaffe 5 kühl zu haltenden Weins gewählt werden.In the embodiment shown in the drawing for a Cooler according to the invention, the cool box consists of an open-topped cup 1 of cylindrical shape, in which the lower part of a carafe 5 with cool too holding wine is used. The cup 1 is both on its jacket 6 as also executed at its bottom 2 double-walled. The between the cup walls formed cavity 3 is filled with a cryogenic gel 4. The cup 1 encloses thanks to adapted to the shape of the carafe 5 shape of its inner wall with this the carafe 5 as close as possible, so a good heat transfer ensured between the gel 4 and the wine contained in the carafe 5 is. It is understood that the cup 1 instead of in the drawing shown cylindrical shape, any other of the shape of a male carafe appropriate training may have its inner wall: In the design the outer wall of the cup 1 is complete freedom, and it is especially possible on the outside of any desired decoration decoration The cup 1 is made of a cold-resistant material, wherein for cost reasons, a corresponding plastic is preferred. The Color for the cup material and / or the gel 4 may be according to the color of the wine to be kept cool in the carafe 5.
