Abstract
A portable drink holder for a drinkable liquid having a first removable reservoir for storing the liquid at a first end of the holder, a second removable reservoir at a second end of the holder for receiving the liquid and a cooling cartridge having a plurality of passageways for selectively transporting liquid from the first reservoir to the second reservoir. The cooling cartridge including a cooling medium so that the liquid transitions to a second temperature lower than the first temperature as it flows from the first reservoir to the second reservoir.
Claims19
A portable drink holder for a drinkable liquid, the portable drink holder comprising:
- a first removable reservoir for storing the drinkable liquid at a first end of the holder, the liquid having a first temperature;
- a second removable reservoir for receiving the liquid from the first reservoir and in fluid communication with the first reservoir, the second reservoir at a second end of the holder opposite the first end and axially spaced from the first reservoir;
- and
- a cooling cartridge between the first and second reservoirs and in fluid communication with the first and second reservoirs, the cooling cartridge including a plurality of elongated members having a plurality of independent passageways each with an independent opening in fluid communication with the first reservoir, the passageways providing passage of the drinkable liquid therethrough and a cooling medium so that the drinkable liquid passes through the cooling cartridge and transitions to a second temperature lower than the first temperature as it flows within the holder out from the first reservoir toward and into the second reservoir, wherein the plurality of elongated members extend through the cooling cartridge to a distal region, and the plurality of passageways through the elongated members selectively transport the drinkable liquid from the first reservoir to the second reservoir.
A method for cooling a drinkable liquid in situ comprising the steps of:
- providing a holder having a longitudinal axis, a first removable reservoir for storing the drinkable liquid, a second removable reservoir for receiving the drinkable liquid axially spaced from the first reservoir and in fluid communication with and axially aligned with the first reservoir and a cooling cartridge containing a cooling medium interposed along the longitudinal axis between the first and second reservoirs, the cooling cartridge including a plurality of elongated members having a plurality of independent passageways each with an independent opening;
- enabling flow of the drinkable liquid from the first reservoir through the plurality of independent passageways extending through the cooling cartridge to a distal region of the cooling cartridge and into the second reservoir to lower the temperature of the drinkable liquid;
- and
- removing the second reservoir from the holder to expose a receptacle in the second reservoir for drinking of the drinkable liquid.
