Description

5 La presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo para enfriar bebidas contenidas en un recipiente para beber. Se conoce bien enfriar bebidas añadiendo uno o más cubitos de hielo a la bebida. Sin embargo, una desventaja de esta disposición es que el agua de la que está hecho el hielo puede contener microorganismos, que pueden ser 10 perjudiciales si se ingiere la bebida con el hielo deshecho. Otra desventaja de los cubitos de hielo es que, cuando se deshace el hielo, el agua diluye la bebida y elimina su intensidad y sabor globales. 15 La patente estadounidense n.º 4.325.230 intenta superar los problemas mencionados anteriormente proporcionando un dispositivo que comprende un alojamiento cúbico que puede sellarse, en el que puede colocarse un cubito de hielo. En uso, pueden congelarse uno o más de tales dispositivos y a continuación añadirse a las bebidas. El hielo está contenido dentro del alojamiento y por tanto no contamina o diluye la bebida cuando se deshace. Tras su uso, el dispositivo puede lavarse y reutilizarse. En una realización alternativa, el cuerpo de agua está sellado de manera 20 permanente dentro del alojamiento y el propio dispositivo se congela antes de su uso. Una desventaja del hielo y el dispositivo mencionado anteriormente es que pueden tragarse de manera relativamente sencilla, en particular cuando flotan sobre la superficie de la bebida. Otro dispositivo para enfriar bebidas según el preámbulo de la reivindicación 1 se conoce por el documento US2016514. Ahora se ha concebido 25 un dispositivo para enfriar bebidas, que reduce los problemas mencionados anteriormente. Según esta invención, se proporciona un dispositivo según la reivindicación 1. En uso, la parte de cuerpo enfría la bebida aunque no diluye la bebida porque es insoluble. La parte de acoplamiento 30 con el recipiente fija el dispositivo de manera segura en su sitio en el recipiente y así se evita el riesgo de tragarse accidentalmente el dispositivo. Preferiblemente la parte de cuerpo comprende un líquido o gel contenido dentro de un alojamiento sellado, estando dispuesto el líquido o gel para absorber el calor de la bebida, para proporcionar un efecto de enfriamiento. 35 En una realización, el alojamiento puede comprender un cierre, que puede abrirse para permitir insertar un cubito de hielo en un compartimento previsto dentro del alojamiento. En una realización preferida, el líquido o gel está sellado de manera permanente dentro del alojamiento, teniendo 40 que congelar el usuario el dispositivo antes de usarlo. El alojamiento puede contener agua, aunque preferiblemente contiene un material, tal como etilenglicol o propilenglicol, que pasa de la fase sólida a la líquida a una temperatura por debajo de la temperatura de congelación del agua: el calor latente absorbido por tales materiales cuando cambian de la fase sólida a la líquida actúa para 45 enfriar de manera desproporcionada la bebida. En una realización alternativa, el contenedor puede comprender materiales, tales como agua y cloruro de amonio, que se disponen para reaccionar de manera endotérmica y absorber calor. Tales dispositivos pueden ser de un solo uso o puede ser posible invertir la reacción endotérmica, de modo que puedan volver a usarse. 50 Otra desventaja de usar cubitos de hielo o los dispositivos mencionados anteriormente del documento US 4.325.230 es que flotan en la superficie de la bebida y así toda su área de superficie no está en contacto con la bebida, con el resultado de que el efecto de enfriamiento no se maximiza. 55 Preferiblemente la pinza comprende medios dispuestos para acoplarse con el recipiente en posiciones respectivas separadas de manera circunferencial: esto ayuda a evitar el movimiento lateral del brazo y mantiene la posición de la parte de cuerpo dentro del recipiente. Ahora se describirá una realización de esta invención sólo a modo de ejemplo y con referencia a los dibujos 60 adjuntos, en los que: la figura 1 es una vista en planta de un dispositivo de enfriamiento de bebidas según esta invención; la figura 2 es una vista frontal del dispositivo de enfriamiento de bebidas de la figura 1; 65 The present invention relates to a device for cooling drinks contained in a drinking container. It is well known to cool drinks by adding one or more ice cubes to the drink. However, a disadvantage of this provision is that the water from which the ice is made may contain microorganisms, which can be harmful if the drink is ingested with the discarded ice. Another disadvantage of ice cubes is that when ice melts, water dilutes the drink and eliminates its overall intensity and flavor. 15 US Patent No. 4,325,230 attempts to overcome the aforementioned problems by providing a device comprising a cubic housing that can be sealed, in which an ice cube can be placed. In use, one or more such devices may be frozen and then added to the beverages. The ice is contained inside the housing and therefore does not contaminate or dilute the drink when it melts. After use, the device can be washed and reused. In an alternative embodiment, the water body is permanently sealed within the housing and the device itself freezes before use. A disadvantage of ice and the device mentioned above is that they can be swallowed relatively easily, in particular when they float on the surface of the beverage. Another device for cooling beverages according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US2016514. Now a device for cooling beverages has been devised, which reduces the problems mentioned above. According to this invention, a device according to claim 1 is provided. In use, the body part cools the beverage although it does not dilute the beverage because it is insoluble. The coupling part 30 with the container fixes the device securely in place in the container and thus avoids the risk of accidentally swallowing the device. Preferably the body part comprises a liquid or gel contained within a sealed housing, the liquid or gel being arranged to absorb the heat of the beverage, to provide a cooling effect. In one embodiment, the housing may comprise a closure, which can be opened to allow an ice cube to be inserted into a compartment provided within the housing. In a preferred embodiment, the liquid or gel is permanently sealed inside the housing, the user having to freeze the device before using it. The housing may contain water, although preferably it contains a material, such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, which passes from the solid to the liquid phase at a temperature below the freezing temperature of water: the latent heat absorbed by such materials when they change The solid to liquid phase acts to disproportionately cool the beverage. In an alternative embodiment, the container may comprise materials, such as water and ammonium chloride, that are arranged to react endothermally and absorb heat. Such devices may be single use or it may be possible to reverse the endothermic reaction, so that they can be reused. 50 Another disadvantage of using ice cubes or the aforementioned devices of US 4,325,230 is that they float on the surface of the beverage and thus its entire surface area is not in contact with the beverage, with the result that the effect Cooling is not maximized. Preferably the clamp comprises means arranged to engage with the container in respective circumferentially separated positions: this helps prevent lateral movement of the arm and maintains the position of the body part within the container. An embodiment of this invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings 60, in which: Figure 1 is a plan view of a beverage cooling device according to this invention; Figure 2 is a front view of the beverage cooling device of Figure 1; 65

La sección más externa del brazo 11 está doblada sobre sí misma para definir una pinza 14 en forma de C para acoplarse con el reborde de un recipiente para beber. 15 El brazo externo de la pinza 14 en forma de C está conectado a la parte central de un dispositivo 15 de sujeción alargado, que se extiende generalmente perpendicular a los brazos de la pinza 14 en forma de C. Los extremos opuestos de la parte 15 de sujeción están conectados a la parte central de la misma mediante uniones 16 flexibles respectivas. 20 Con referencia a la figura 4 de los dibujos, en uso el dispositivo se extrae de un congelador y se engancha al reborde de un recipiente para beber, de modo que el brazo 11 se extiende al interior del recipiente para beber para mantener la parte 10 de cuerpo cerca del fondo del recipiente. Los extremos opuestos de la parte 15 de sujeción se extienden en direcciones circunferenciales opuestas contra la superficie externa del recipiente para beber para evitar 25 el movimiento lateral del brazo 11. En las caras opuestas de los brazos de la pinza 14 en forma de C se proporcionan preferiblemente dientes o elemento 17 de agarre elastoméricos para agarrar el reborde del recipiente para beber de manera segura. El material congelado dentro del alojamiento de la parte 10 de cuerpo absorbe el calor de la bebida contenida en el 30 recipiente para beber, para enfriar la bebida. Si se desea, pueden introducirse una pluralidad de dispositivos en el recipiente. Un dispositivo según esta invención es de construcción sencilla y económica aunque proporciona una manera segura y fiable de enfriar bebidas. 35  Figure 3 is a side view of the beverage cooling device of Figure 1; and Figure 4 is a perspective view of the beverage cooling device of Figure 1, when mounted in a drinking vessel. 5 With reference to Figures 1 to 3 of the drawings, a beverage cooling device is shown comprising a body part 10 having a spherical housing of plastic material, which is filled with a mixture of water and propylene glycol, which It is a material that freezes at a temperature below that of water.
