  • the invention which is the subject of this patent, relates to a device for keeping a liquid, typically, but not necessarily exclusively, a beverage, in a relatively cold or cool condition at which the liquid is more attractive for consumption.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a means whereby a beverage which is dispensed into a container can be retained for longer at a recommended temperature and/or at least the rise in temperature of the same is minimised or delayed such that the beverage can be consumed at or closer to the recommended temperature for most pleasurable consumption.
  • a container for the reception of a liquid therein, said liquid to be subsequently drunk from the container and wherein said container includes a base and side walls depending upwardly therefrom and wherein the side walls are formed from an inner wall and a spaced, outer wall between which is defined a cavity and a cooling medium is provided in contact with a single walled portion of the container.
  • the cavity is substantially sealed inasmuch that it has no opening and provides an insulating layer between the inner and external walls .
  • the inner wall is in contact with the liquid in the container and the external walls can be gripped by the person who is holding the container.
  • the cavity acts to limit the rate at which heat is absorbed from the air.
  • the container includes the cooling medium capsule located within the container so as to provide a cooling effect on the liquid held therein.
  • the cooling medium is provided with a capsule containing a fluid and said capsule is located in a housing with the container.
  • at least the cooling medium capsule is initially chilled in suitable apparatus, such as in a commercial or domestic freezer (or other cooling method for achieving the same effect) .
  • the housing with the cooling medium capsule therein is attached to the base of the portion of the container which receives the liquid therein.
  • the capsule is held against the container at the base which is the single walled portion of the container. The effect of this location is that heat from the liquid in the container passes gradually through the single wall of the vessel into the cooling medium.
  • the rate of transfer is such that the cooling effect approximately lasts for the time expected to be required for consumption of the liquid held in the container and hence the liquid can be maintained at the required temp erature for consumption.
  • the size and/or temp erature of the cap sule is selected to suit the size of the container and/or quantity of liquid held therein.
  • the overall shape and size of the container can be s elected to match the generally desired form for each market sector.
  • containers in accordance with the invention include a pint beer tankard, a slim cylindrical glass and/or a stemmed wine glass.
  • the cavity in the vessel is filled with dry air at atmospheric pressure and sealed.
  • the cooling medium capsule is made of flexible plastic and contains a cooling gel, such as a formulation of water-based fluid, that remains reasonably pliable at relatively low temperatures such as at minus 20 deg C which is the general temperature in domestic freezers.
  • a cooling gel such as a formulation of water-based fluid
  • the cooling medium capsule when located with respect to the container, is acted upon by biasing means provided within the cooling medium housing to encourage intimate contact between the cooling medium and the container and . hence achieve the desired cooling effect or temperature retention effect on the liquid in the container.
  • the biasing means is a spring.
  • the location between the container and the cooling medium housing is by mechanical means such as a bayonet action.
  • a container with double walls at least at a portion of the location for reception of a liquid therein, said double walls defining a cavity therebetween within which is air, a gas, a vacuum or insulating material and wherein access can be gained to the base of the location for the liquid to allow a cooling medium to be held against a single walled portion of the same.
  • the location for reception of liquid is in the form of a bowl and the cooling medium is located at the base of said bowl.
  • the cooling means includes water or a freezing compound.
  • a container for the consumption of a liquid held therein and wherein the container further includes a cooling medium which is located in contact with a wall of the portion of the container in which the liquid is held.
  • the cooling medium can be selectively located in the container to allow the cooling medium to be chilled prior to use, separately from the container.
  • the cooling medium is chilled while located within the container.
  • the cooling medium is provided with a capsule located in contact with a single walled portion of the container.
  • the device is made from any or any combination of glass, ceramics, plastic, metal, comp osite materials or any other food grade material.
  • the cooling medium includes a capsule which includes a handle and locking tab.
  • a container for the reception of a liquid therein, said liquid to be subsequently drunk from the container and wherein said container has a base and side walls depending upwardly therefrom and wherein the side walls and/or base are formed from an inner wall and a spaced, outer wall between which is defined a cavity.

  • the side walls of the container are formed with a twin wall 2a, 2b which define a sealed cavity 3 therebetween.
  • the base 4 of the vessel has a single wall thickness.
  • a location means 5 is provided at the base to allow attachment of a cooling medium to the container 1.
  • FIG. 2 there is illustrated a cooling medium 10 having a housing 11 for a capsule 12.
  • the capsule has a skin of flexible plastic 13 enclosing a cooling gel 14.
  • a retaining ring 15 traps the capsule in the housing 11.
  • a biasing spring 16 mounted in the housing 11 biases the capsule towards the top of the cooling medium in direction of arrow 17 so as to bias the cap sule 12 towards intimate contact with the base 4 of the container 1 when the cooling medium 10 is connected to the container 1.
  • FIG. 3 there is illustrated the container 1 , filled with a beverage 22.
  • the cooling medium 10 is illustrated located in position 23 with respect to the container and is retained in that position by engagement with the location means 5 of the container such as for example by the use of mechanical location means such as a bayonet fitting.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un récipient tel qu'un verre de vin, un gobelet, un grand verre pour boissons ou un autre récipient/réceptacle de boisson froide ou un distributeur qui est équipé de doubles parois latérales qui forment une cavité entre elles. La base de la partie récipient qui reçoit le liquide est à paroi simple et peut être mis en contact ou en contact intime avec un milieu réfrigérant. Le milieu réfrigérant inclut une capsule de composé réfrigérant. Le milieu réfrigérant peut être situé de manière sélective sur le récipient pour fournir un effet réfrigérant sur le liquide qu’il contient. Généralement, la capsule est inclinée en direction de la base du récipient par des moyens d'inclinaison situés dans le boîtier du milieu réfrigérant, de façon à s'assurer que le liquide présent dans le récipient demeure refroidi pendant la consommation.
