Abstract
Means for chilling and insulating a canned or bottled beverage such as beer including a cylindrical sleeve of reusable refrigerant disposed within an insulative beverage can holder and displacing the annular "dead air" cavity between a beverage can situated therein and the side walls of the holder. The reusable refrigerant is a substance which may be frozen in conventional refrigerator freezers whereby the refrigerant in a frozen state will chill and keep chilled beer or the like disposed therewithin. In this manner, a beverage may be quickly chilled whether initially refrigerated or not and while being consumed out of doors. Moreover, the chilled temperature is normally unachieveable in conventional refrigerators and is especially not maintainable for any length of time in conventional "dead-air" insulative holders.
Claims4
A structure for holding a beverage container and chilling the contents during consumption, comprising:
- a cylindrical cup closed at one end and open at the other for receiving a beverage container, said cup being slightly greater in diameter than a beverage container to be received;
- a broad, relatively thin walled bag having a seal around its edges;
- a freezable fluid filling said sealed thin walled bag;
- a plurality of transverse seams between opposing walls of said bag, said seams extending parallel to one another and each transverse seam intersecting an edge seam at each and thereof to form said bag into a plurality of elongate sealed sections, said bag being folded along transverse seams into a cylindrical configuration and received into said cylindrical cup to conform to the outside walls of a beverage container placed into the cup for chilling of the beverage when said fluid is frozen.
