Abstract
A ice puck mold and storage system is provided including at least one hockey puck mold having a circular bottom face and a cylindrical periphery integrally coupled thereto and extending upwardly therefrom for defining an upper peripheral edge, an interior space, and an open top.
Claims7
An ice puck mold and storage system comprising, in combination:
- a container including an inner extent having a circular bottom and a cylindrical periphery integrally coupled thereto and extending upwardly therefrom to define an interior space and an open top face, the periphery having a plurality of threaded grooves formed therein adjacent to the open top face and an annular flange mounted to a top surface of the bottom adjacent to the periphery, the container further including an outer extent having a circular bottom and a cylindrical periphery integrally coupled thereto and extending upwardly therefrom, the outer extent having an enlarged interior space and an upper peripheral edge integrally coupled to the periphery of the inner extent just below the threaded grooves such that a uniform space resides between the inner extent and the outer extent, wherein the space between the inner extent and outer extent is lined with insulation, the container further including a vertically oriented handle comprising an elongated rectangular strip mounted to the periphery of the outer extent via a pair of tapering stanchions;
- a cap having a top face and a periphery extending downwardly therefrom with a plurality of threaded grooves formed therein for removably coupling with those of the container, the top face of the cap having a rectangular strip integrally coupled thereto for facilitating the coupling of the cap with the container;
- and
- a plurality of hockey puck molds each having a circular bottom face and a cylindrical periphery integrally coupled thereto and extending upwardly therefrom for defining an upper peripheral edge, an interior space, and an open top, with a diameter of the periphery of each mold being about equal to that of the periphery of the inner extent of the container, the periphery of each mold having an upper peripheral edge with an annular lip integrally coupled thereto and extending upwardly therefrom contiguously with an outer surface of the periphery of the mold, with the annular lip having a reduced thickness as compared to the periphery of the corresponding mold, the periphery of each mold further having a lower annular cutout formed in a bottom edge thereof, whereby the molds may be slidably situated within the interior space of the inner extent of the container in a stacked relationship, wherein the annular lip is removably mounted within the annular cutout of an adjacent mold.
