[0023]

According to the present invention, the liquid is sealed in the cooler coaster, frozen, and solidified, so that the cool air generated from the solid thus formed is cooled from the cool air conducting plate through a container such as glass. Can tell the beverage. The temperature of the cool air can be kept constant from the time the solid begins to melt until it becomes completely liquid. By providing the heat insulating material in the cooler coaster, the heat of fusion due to the outside air from the side and bottom surfaces of the main body is cut off, the speed of melting is reduced, and the internal low temperature can be maintained. Also, if the gel is sealed in the cooler coaster, the heat absorption is slower than that of the liquid, so that it is effective in keeping the internal low temperature more. Then, under certain conditions, the lower the temperature, the greater the storage amount of the coagulated body. By sealing the liquid in the bag and fixing the lower body and the cool air conducting plate with packing, it is possible to prevent the liquid from leaking from the inside of the cooler coaster. In addition, since the bag is provided in the lower body, the subsequent steps are easily performed. By providing the plate stopper, the load on the packing due to the load on the upper surface of the cold air conducting plate can be reduced, and the liquid in the cooler coaster can be prevented from leaking. By using the cold air conduction tank, the step of providing the plate stopper on the main body can be shortened. If synthetic fibers are used for the material of the cold air conducting plate and the cold air conducting tank, it is easy to form and inexpensive, and thus easy to use. If a cooler coaster having these effects is used, it is possible to drink a cool beverage slowly and deliciously.
