Description
- The present invention relates to rapid cooling apparatuses. More specifically, the present invention provides a rapid cooling apparatus that dispenses a cooling agent, such as compressed carbon dioxide, within a cooling chamber through one or more nozzles.
- Many individuals prefer to consume certain foods and beverages, such as wine, beer, and soda, at a relatively cold temperature. The consumption of these chilled beverages is especially desired during the warmer seasons. Conventional ways of cooling foods and beverages typically involves storage within a refrigerator or an ice box. However, these devices and methods have several drawbacks. For instance, it is not economical to maintain a large inventory of foods and beverages within the refrigerator or ice box, where space is often limited. Further foods and beverages placed within these devices may require several hours to reach a cold temperature that is desirable.
- Other technologies that rapidly chill beverages may rely on ice or chilled water, or a combination thereof. However, submerging foods, even those in containers, risks leaking onto the food rendering it inedible. Further, residue from the ice bath can contaminate beverages. Additionally, the ice bath requires ready access to ice and water, containers for holding the ice and water, and towels for drying excessive amounts of water that accumulate on the food or beverage container. The submerging of beverages may deteriorate the labels of many beverage, especially those that utilize an adhesive for bonding the label to the beverage container.
- In light of the devices in the known art, it is submitted that the present invention substantially diverges in design elements from the prior art and consequently it is clear that there is a need in the art for an improvement to existing food and beverage cooling devices. In this regard the instant invention substantially fulfills these needs.
- In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of beverage cooling devices now present in the art, the present invention provides a new rapid cooling apparatus wherein the same can be utilized for providing convenience for the user when cooling food or beverage from a room temperature to a relatively cool temperature of between thirty (30) degrees and forty (40) degrees Fahrenheit.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved rapid cooling apparatus with a fluid reservoir having a fluid cooling agent therein that is dispensed within the cooling chamber, wherein the fluid reservoir is removable and replaceable with a substantially similar one.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a rapid cooling apparatus that can cool a beverage without diluting the beverage.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a rapid cooling apparatus that includes an adjustable and rotatable nozzle and tray which facilitate the cooling of a beverage within the cooling chamber.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a rapid cooling apparatus that may be readily fabricated from materials that permit relative economy and are commensurate with durability.
- Other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- Although the characteristic features of this invention will be particularly pointed out in the claims, the invention itself and manner in which it may be made and used may be better understood after a review of the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like numeral annotations are provided throughout.

FIG. 1 shows a front view of one embodiment of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the cooling chamber with the door in an open position. -
FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of one embodiment of the control circuit of the present invention. - Reference is made herein to the attached drawings.

Theinterface 31 includes a digital display for displaying time, temperature of thecooling chamber 14, position of the door 20 (open or closed), and the like. - A
fluid reservoir 21 is removably disposed within the reservoir compartment wherein thefluid reservoir 21 is configured to store a cooling agent, such as compressed carbon dioxide and the like. Thefluid reservoir 21 is replaceable with a substantially similar fluid reservoir, such that an emptied first fluid reservoir is replaced with a hill second fluid reservoir. In one embodiment, thefluid reservoir 21 is removable via removing a section of thereservoir compartment 15. - One or
more nozzles 22 are disposed within thecooling chamber 14 and are it fluid communication with thefluid reservoir 21 via aconduit 23. The one ormore nozzles 22 are configured to dispense a cooling agent contained in thefluid reservoir 21 into the interior volume of thecooling chamber 14. Theconduit 23 includes afirst end 24 and an opposingsecond end 25, wherein thefirst end 24 is operably connected to thefluid reservoir 21 and thesecond end 25 is operably connected to thenozzle 22. In use, the release of the cooling agent into thecooling chamber 14 causes the temperature thereof to decrease. In one embodiment, the temperature decrease to between 32 and negative 120 degrees Fahrenheit. - The one or
more nozzles 22 are configured to discharge the cooling agent from thefluid reservoir 21 in a desired direction within thecooling chamber 14. The nozzle comprises a plurality of apertures, wherein the apertures allow the cooling agent to pass therethrough. In one embodiment, (shown inFIG. 1 ) the nozzle is a dome shape and extends from the ceiling o thecooling chamber 14. In an alternate embodiment (shown inFIG. 2 ) thenozzle 22 is an upright cylinder having a plurality of in linear arrangement. However, in alternative embodiments, thenozzle 22 and aperture arrangement may vary. In an alternate embodiment, a second nozzle is disposed on an opposing Side of thefloor 16. In one embodiment, an actuator, disposed on thebase 13 and operably connected to thenozzle 22, adjusts the rotational direction of each of the one ormore nozzles 22 in order to allow the cooling agent to be dispersed over a larger area of the interior volume. - In the shown embodiments, the
floor 16 supports beverages 26 atop arotatable tray 25 configured to revolve the beverages 26 along a circular or non-circular path. In this way, each of the beverages 26 receive exposure to the cooling agent for a more uniform cooling process. Thetray 25 may be rotated automatically via an actuator rotating mechanism or may be manually rotated. Avent 27 is disposed on thecooling chamber 14 to control the pressure differences within thecooling chamber 14.

Therapid cooling apparatus 11 comprises avalve 33 that is configured to control the pressure and dispersion velocity of cooling agent being dispensed by the one ormore nozzles 22. In one embodiment, thevalve 33 is disposed within the conduit, between the cooling chamber and the reservoir compartment ofFIG. 1 . Thevalve 33 is configured to open and allow more cooling agent to pass through the conduit when activated. The valve is adapted to close and allow less cooling agent to pass through the conduit when deactivated. - The
rapid cooling apparatus 11 includes asensor 34 operably connected to thevalve 33, wherein thesensor 34 is configured to determine the temperature of the interior volume of the coolingchamber 14, an open state or a closed state of the door, and the fluid pressure of thevalve 33. Aninterface 31 is operably connected to aprocessor 32 and theinterface 31 is configured to receive input commands via an actuatable button. Theprocessor 32 is operably connected to thevalve 33 andsensor 34, such that theprocessor 32 controls the operation of therapid cooling apparatus 11. - The
interface 31 provides for a selection and control of a variety of settings. In one use, a user inputs commands via theinterface 31 that is executed by theprocessor 32. The input commands relate to setting predetermined time, temperature, and other settings of therapid cooling apparatus 11. The number of preset settings may include functions for the intensity of the cooling, size of beverage container, desired temperature, any combination of these and/or any other possible desired outcomes for cooling containers of various masses and sizes at various temperatures and speeds. Therapid cooling apparatus 11 then cools the beverage containers within the coolingchamber 14. - It is therefore submitted that the instant invention has been shown and described in what is considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however that departures may be made within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
