Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial field of application> This invention relates to an ice container for use on a dining table.

<Conventional Technology> This type of ice container is often used to make alcoholic beverages, such as whiskey with water or ice cream.

Conventional containers are constructed in such a way that a receiving frame is placed at the bottom of the container, and ice cubes are piled up on the receiving frame so that melted water from the ice cubes is expelled into the bottom space below the receiving frame.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In such containers, since the top of the container is usually open, the ice cubes melt quickly, and the water that was removed under the receiving frame quickly fills the space under the receiving frame. There is a problem in that the ice cubes enter the receiving frame, causing the ice cubes in the container to rapidly melt and disappear.

<Means for solving the problem> As shown in FIG.
A drainage hole 3 is provided in the container body 1 so that water can be drained from the container body 1 for storing ice cubes to a water receiver 2.

The water receiver 2 is also provided with a number of support frames 2a extending radially from the center thereof, and the inner ends of these support frames 2a are cut out to form water storage spaces 2d.

<Function> The container of the present invention has a container main body 1 containing ice blocks 4 in this way, a water receiver 2 attached to the lower part of the container main body 1, and the water receiver 2 has a radial support frame 2a, Since the container body 1 is supported by the support frame 2a while being sufficiently isolated from the bottom surface of the water receiver 2, there is also a water reservoir space in the center of the water receiver 2. A location 2d is formed. Therefore, the water generated in the container body 1 is stored in the water receiver 2, and when the water receiver 2 becomes full, the water receiver 2 must be replaced or the water receiver 2 can be removed to drain the water. It is possible to discard it or create a new drainage receiving space 2'.

<Example> In the example shown in FIG.
It consists of a water receiver 2 attached to the lower part of the tank.

The container main body 1 has an open upper surface, and has a number of drainage holes 3 in its lower part, for example, the bottom 1a, through which water from the internal ice block 4 is discharged into the water receiver 2. It is being

The water receiver 2 is located at the bottom 1a of the container body 1.
Open the top surface and open the container body 1 so that the
As shown in FIG. 2, this support frame 2a is provided radially and has an inner end cut out, so that the water receiver 2
A water reservoir cavity 2d is formed in the center. The container body 1 is provided with a handle arm 5 as desired, and the water receiver 2 is provided with a drain hole 2b as desired.
is provided, and a stopper 2c is attached to this. The container main body 1 is supported by the water receiver 2 by its supporting frame 2a, so that a drainage receiving space 2'
form.

This drainage receiving space 2' is formed by the space between the supporting frames 2a and a water reservoir cavity 2d that concentrates these spaces. Therefore, the water level in the space between the supporting frames is made equal by the water reservoir cavity 2d, and at the same time, the water reservoir volume is is caused to increase. If the container body 1 is made of glass as shown in FIG.
Water droplets condensing on the outer wall of the space can be received from the gap S.

<Effect of the invention> Since the container of the present invention is separately provided with the water receiver 2 having the radial support frame 2a and the water storage space 2d, the container body 1 can be held sufficiently high within the water receiver 2. As a result, the drainage receiving space 2' can be enlarged to increase the receiving volume of water eluted from the ice block 4, and the water receiving container 2 can be removed from the container body 1 and the water inside can be discarded. , or you can replace the water receiver 2 separately.
Not only can the melting of the ice blocks 4 in the container body 1 be delayed, but also the problem of the ice blocks 4 in the container being submerged and losing interest can be effectively solved.
