Abstract
A beverage cooling apparatus includes a straw, a cooling unit, and a coolant material. A cooling receptacle of the cooling unit is filled with the coolant material, which is preferably a food-based organic coolant. The straw is positioned within the cooling receptacle such that a flow-restricting portion of the straw is surrounded by the coolant material. The thermal communication between the flow-restricting portion and the coolant material reduces the overall temperature of the beverage that is being consumed. An attachment panel of the cooling unit is used to establish a connection with varying beverage containers.
Claims3
A beverage cooling apparatus comprising:
- a straw;
- a cooling unit;
- an organic coolant material;
- the straw comprising a collar portion, an external-drawing portion, a flow-restricting portion, and an internal-drawing portion;
- the cooling unit comprising a tab-receiving slot, at least one gripping protrusion, a rim-holding latch, an opening, an attachment panel, and a cooling receptacle;
- the external-drawing portion being terminally connected to a first end of the flow-restricting portion;
- the collar portion being perimetrically connected to the flow-restricting portion at the first end;
- the internal-drawing portion being terminally connected to a second end of the flow-restricting portion;
- the flow-restricting portion being positioned in between the external-drawing portion and the internal-drawing portion;
- the cooling receptacle being terminally and perpendicularly connected to a bottom surface of the attachment panel;
- the opening perpendicularly traversing through the attachment panel into the cooling receptacle;
- the flow-restricting portion being surrounded by a lateral section of the cooling receptacle;
- the collar portion being removably positioned into the opening;
- the internal-drawing portion traversing through a base section of the cooling receptacle;
- the cooling receptacle being filled with the organic coolant material;
- the flow-restricting portion being in thermal communication with the organic coolant material;
- the collar portion comprising a structural body and at least one coolant-filling aperture;
- the at least one coolant-filling aperture perpendicularly traversing through the structural body;
- the rim-holding latch being connected along a perimeter of the attachment panel;
- the at least one gripping protrusion being laterally connected to the rim-holding latch;
- the tab-receiving slot perpendicularly traversing through the structural body;
- and
- the tab-receiving slot being positioned adjacent the opening.
