Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an apparatus for making ice glasses, bowls and candleholders.
  • glasses or bowls that are made of ice, mainly for serving alcoholic beverages, ice creams, fruit salad and so on.
  • the use of glasses and bowls made of ice is a decorative gimmick for any event.
  • the present invention is an apparatus for making ice glasses, bowls and candleholders.
  • ice glass refers, in this application, to a glass or bowl or candleholder, according to the context.
  • the present invention refers to an apparatus (1) for making ice glasses, bowls and candleholders.
  • the apparatus (1) is depicted in Drawing No. 1 and is shaped like a cylindrical nipple with a round base.
  • the upper part of the apparatus is shaped like a cylindrical nipple (11) with a dome-shaped head.
  • the nipple (11) gradually become wider towards the base (12) of the apparatus (1).
  • the base (12) of the apparatus (1) has a raised lip (13), which constitutes the upper edge of the side (14) of the base (12),
  • the apparatus (1) is round and symmetrical, as depicted in the drawings.
  • Drawings Nos. 2a, 2b and 3 depict the mode of use of the apparatus.
  • use is made of some kind of regular glass (possibly even a disposable plastic, foam, or paper cup).
  • the steps for using the apparatus are as follows: (a) The glass (2) is first filled with water, but preferably not to the rim, for reasons explained later on in the application. (b) After filling the glass (2) with water, the apparatus (1) is inserted into the glass (2) so that the nipple (11) faces the bottom of the glass (2). (c) Then, the glass (2) is turned upside down so that the rim of the glass (2) faces down, and the nipple (11) now faces up. To execute this step properly, the glass (2) and the apparatus (1) must be held in the hands or fingers of one hand so they are tightly connected and joined to one another, and pressure is applied on them both in order to keep them tightly connected and joined.
  • the final shape of the ice glass is determined by the shape of the apparatus (1) and of the glass (2).
  • the exterior shape of the ice glass is determined by the interior shape of the glass (2) whereas the interior shape of the ice glass is determined by the exterior shapes of the nipple (11) and base (12) of the apparatus (1).
  • the ice When the water level (5) in the glass (2) in freezing mode is higher than the tip of the nipple (11), as depicted for instance in Drawing No. 2a , then the ice will be shaped like a glass. When the water level (5) is lower than the tip of the nipple (11), as depicted for instance in Drawing No. 2b , then the ice will be shaped like a hollow cylinder that can serve as a candleholder in which a lit candle can be placed. Candleholders commonly used today are made of glass or any other material and are usually transparent or semi-transparent. Such candleholders are cylindrical, with closed bottoms and open tops, and candles can be placed in them.
  • the candleholder Light from the candle reflects through the sides of the candleholder, which, as mentioned, is made of glass or of a transparent or semi-transparent material.
  • the ice is not impermeable to light and therefore light from the candle can reflect through the ice candleholder, and the more the ice melts and the wall grows thinner, the more intense will be the reflection of the candle's light.
  • the candleholder should be open at the bottom to enable the melted water to drain.
  • the candleholder should also be placed in a matching bowl to collect the said water.
  • the base (12) of the apparatus (1) is uniform so as to fit any rim of any kind of glass (2), provided the rim of the glass (2) is uniform (in height).
  • the apparatus (1) can be used to make ice glasses from all kinds of glasses (2), due to the fact that the base (12) of the apparatus (1) slopes in such a way that it fits any diameter of any glass (2), provided the diameter of the glass (2) is smaller than the diameter of the rim (13).
  • the glass (2) When the glass (2) is filled with water, as mentioned above, it must not be filled to the rim for several reasons.
  • the water expands into the said space and does not apply pressure on the glass (2) or apparatus (1).
  • the fact that the apparatus is designed so that it is used in freezing mode [the glass (2) is upside down] enables to made ice glasses with smooth and uniform rims, which is the preferred form.
  • a hole (15) may be added at the bottom of the apparatus (1), and in general, the apparatus (1) may be manufactured hollow, both so as to enable stacking of several apparatuses for storage, and to enable the apparatus to be used to cover a beverage bottle (4), as depicted for instance in Drawing No. 6 .
  • the apparatus (1) can be made from any material, although it is the inventor's experience that the apparatus should preferably be made from a soft and flexible material, such as rubber or silicon so that when the ice expands, it compresses the body of the apparatus and thus prevents cracks in the ice itself.
  • a soft and flexible material such as rubber or silicon
  • the ice glasses In order to use the ice glasses more efficiently, they should be held in a holder, similar to metal holders used to hold hot beverage glasses made of glass. Holders can be made of metal or plastic or any other material. In order to improve the aesthetics, the glass holder can be illuminated from the bottom so that the light is projected into the ice, thus adding a color effect to the invention.
  • the advantages of the apparatus (1) for making ice glasses are many, and include: (a) The apparatus constitutes a single unit rather than a number of integrated units. (b) The apparatus is suitable for use with almost any glass found in any standard kitchen. (c) The apparatus makes ice glasses with a smooth and uniform rim.
  • Drawing No. 1 depicts the apparatus (1) including the nipple (11), base (12), rim (13), and side (14).
  • Drawing No. 2 depicts the apparatus (1) in freezing mode, whereby it is tightly joined to a regular glass (2), which is filled with water to a level (5) that is higher than the tip of the apparatus's nipple.
  • Drawing No. 2b depicts the same situation as depicted in Drawing No. 2a but the water level (5) is lower than the tip of the apparatus's nipple.
  • Drawing No. 3 depicts the apparatus (1) in freezing mode, whereby it is tightly joined to a regular glass (2), which is filled with water to a level (5) that is higher than the tip of the apparatus's nipple.
  • the glass (2) is held by hand so that the apparatus does not become separated from the glass.
  • Drawing No. 4 depicts the apparatus (1), including a hole (15) in its bottom part.
  • Drawing No. 5 depicts a longitudinal section of the hollow apparatus (1), including the nipple (11), base (12), rim (13), and side (14).
  • Drawing No. 6 depicts the apparatus used to cover a bottle (4).
