Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for cooling beverages contained within a drinking vessel.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,325,230 attempts to overcome the above-mentioned problems by providing a device comprising a sealable cubic housing, into which an ice cube can be placed.
- a device comprising a sealable cubic housing, into which an ice cube can be placed.
- one or more of such devices can be frozen and then added to drinks.
- the ice is contained inside the housing and thus does not contaminate or dilute the beverage as it melts.
- the device can be washed and reused.
- the body of water is permanently sealed inside the housing and the device itself is frozen prior to use.
- a disadvantage of ice and the above-mentioned device is that they are relatively easy to swallow, particularly as they float on the surface of the beverage.
- a device for cooling beverages comprising a body portion arranged for immersion in the beverage and a portion for engaging a wall of the vessel in which the beverage is provided, the body portion being insoluble in said beverage.
- the body portion cools the beverage yet does not dilute the beverage because it is insoluble.
- the vessel-engaging portion securely fastens the device in-situ on the vessel and thus the risk of accidentally swallowing the device is avoided.
- the body portion comprises a liquid or gel contained within a sealed housing, the liquid or gel being arranged to absorb heat from the beverage, so as to provide a cooling effect.
- the housing may comprise a closure, which can be opened to allow an ice cube to be inserted into a compartment provided inside the housing.
- the liquid or gel is permanently sealed inside the housing, the user having to freeze the device prior to use.
- the housing may contain water, although it preferably contains a material, such as ethylene or propylene glycol, which turns from its solid to liquid phase at a temperature below the freezing temperature of water: the latent heat absorbed by such materials as they change from their solid to liquid phases acts to disproportionately call the beverage.
- a material such as ethylene or propylene glycol
- the container may comprise materials, such as water and ammonium chloride, which are arranged to endothermically react and absorb heat.
- materials such as water and ammonium chloride, which are arranged to endothermically react and absorb heat.
- Such devices may be single use or it may be possible to reverse the endothermic reaction, so that they can be used again.
- the vessel-engaging portion is preferably connected to the body portion by an elongate arm, so that the body portion of the device can be positioned adjacent bottom of the drinking vessel.
- the arm is flexible, thereby allowing the body portion to be positioned at almost any selected position within the vessel.
- said vessel-engaging portion is arranged for fastening to the wall of the vessel.
- the vessel-engaging portion comprises a clip, which is arranged to fasten to the rim of the vessel.
- said vessel-engaging portion comprises means, which are arranged to engage the vessel at respective circumferentially spaced apart positions: this helps to prevent lateral movement of the arm and maintains the position of the body portion within the vessel.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of a beverage cooling device in accordance with this invention
- FIG. 2 is a front view of the beverage cooling device of FIG. 1 ;
- FIG. 3 is a side view of the beverage cooling device of FIG. 1 ;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the beverage cooling device of FIG. 1 , when fitted to a drinking vessel.
- a beverage cooling device comprising a body portion 10 having a spherical housing of plastics material, which is filled with a mixture of water and propylene glycol, being a material which freezes at a temperature below that of water.
- the housing could be of any other shape and could be filled with water or any other suitable material.
- An articulated arm 11 extends from the body portion 10 and comprises a plurality of rigid sections 12 , which are connected end-to-end by flexible joint portions 13 .
- the outermost section of the arm 11 is folded back on itself to define a C-shaped clip 14 for engaging the rim of a drinking vessel.
- the outer arm of the C-shaped clip 14 is connected to the central portion of an elongate bracing device 15 , which extends generally perpendicular to the arms of the C-shaped clip 14 .
- the opposite ends of the bracing portion 15 are connected to the central portion thereof by respective flexible joints 16 .
- the device in use the device is taken from a freezer and clipped onto the rim of a drinking vessel, such that the arm 11 extends into the drinking vessel to hold the body portion 10 near the bottom of the vessel.
- the opposite ends of the bracing portion 15 extend in opposite circumferential directions against the outside surface of the drinking vessel to prevent lateral movement of the arm 11 .
- Teeth or elastomeric gripping members 17 are preferably provided on the opposed faces of the arms of the C-shaped clip 14 , in order to securely grip the rim of the drinking vessel.
- the frozen material inside the housing of the body portion 10 absorbs heat from the beverage contained in the drinking vessel, so as to cool the beverage. If desired, a plurality of devices may be attached to the vessel.
- a device in accordance with this invention is simple and inexpensive in construction, yet provides a safe and reliable way of chilling beverages.
